Why is that?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every facility manager knows the poten\u00adtial that lies in upgrading older existing systems. Espe\u00adcially with high energy prices, a retrofit is a powerful tool for saving money. But compa\u00adnies struggle to approve such measures because they involve an upfront cost. If a facility manager wants to convince their CFO to make an invest\u00adment, they need very concrete figures on costs and bene\u00adfits. After all, from a decision-maker\u2019s perspec\u00adtive, if the old systems are suppos\u00adedly running reli\u00adably, why replace them? Making this deci\u00adsion requires more than just a savings and payback period fore\u00adcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">And how does ebm-papst help with this problem?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With our energy effi\u00adciency guar\u00adantee.

A retrofit of the venti\u00adlation systems in Pavilion 36, featuring RadiPac C Perform fans and NEXAIRA.Fit, ensures signif\u00adi\u00adcantly greater effi\u00adciency and oper\u00ada\u00adtional trans\u00adparency.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019ll have to explain that.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every customer who carries out a retrofit with NEXAIRA.Fit can take out a guar\u00adantee through us for the energy savings we project. The guar\u00adantee is under\u00adwritten by Great Lakes Insur\u00adance SE, a wholly owned subsidiary of Munich Re. If, after one year and despite proper oper\u00adating condi\u00adtions, the savings have not mate\u00adri\u00adal\u00adized as calcu\u00adlated, the guar\u00adantee takes effect and the costs are compen\u00adsated.

Based on this, our experts deter\u00admine the optimal selec\u00adtion and sizing of the new, highly effi\u00adcient EC fans. During oper\u00ada\u00adtion, these fans transmit oper\u00ada\u00adtional data\u2014such as airflow, speed, and more\u2014via a MODBUS inter\u00adface. As part of the NEXAIRA digital ecosystem, NEXAIRA.Fit uses this oper\u00ada\u00adtional and fan data to iden\u00adtify opti\u00admiza\u00adtion poten\u00adtial and contin\u00adu\u00adously improve system perfor\u00admance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It enables demand\u00adbased oper\u00ada\u00adtion, predic\u00adtive main\u00adte\u00adnance, AI-driven opti\u00admiza\u00adtion, and much more. The trans\u00adparent visu\u00adal\u00adiza\u00adtion and moni\u00adtoring provided by NEXAIRA thus form the basis for cost savings. This means our fore\u00adcast for the effi\u00adciency gains achieved through the retrofit is reli\u00adable.
