Artus Air Ltd. (Artus) has announced the launch of a new brand to market. Artus brings new advanced technology in air conditioning, with a unit that combines the flexibility of a fan coil unit and the low energy of a chilled beam.
Artus
Artus represents a step forward in traditional Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) systems and offers a more sustainable and comfortable future for buildings and their occupants. This new innovation not only transforms the way buildings are cooled and heated, but can also significantly reduce the amount of energy consumed and carbon generated.
The impressive energy performance of Artus means that switching from a traditional fan coil unit (FCU) to Artus has the potential to make a significant combined energy and carbon savings, translating to up to 89% on fan input power.
Artus Optima helps deliver Net Zero carbon target
Using Artus Optima, Artus’ partnering control system, the new Artus technology could help deliver a building’s HVAC Net Zero carbon reduction target totally, along with reducing its regulated energy and total energy by 21% and 14%, respectively. These figures are based on the trial use of Artus Optima, conducted in a 10,000 sq. m model office.
This revolutionary new system is also a low-cost solution and arrives on-site as a single component
This revolutionary new system is also a low-cost solution and arrives on-site as a single component, significantly reducing the installation time. Artus negates the need for secondary ducts or grilles and is a self-access design, which ensures it is easier and cheaper to maintain.
The development of HVAC has transformed the way everyone lives and works, in terms of comfort and health, yet the original systems have remained relatively unchanged, for close to 30 years.
HVAC unit With high-precision temperature controls
By employing advancements in mechanical and electrical technology, the designers at Artus have managed to create a product that is not only more compact and aesthetically pleasing, but also offers more comfort, is quieter in use, and draught-free, with high-precision temperature controls.
Roger Olsen, the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) behind the Artus innovation said, “Artus came from a desire to have a ‘better tool for the job’ - a low energy, widely applicable HVAC system, which is easy to design, install and run.”
Modular design with performance-enhancing features
The modular design of Artus also allows it to be combined and integrated with a range of performance-enhancing features, including acoustic finishes, lighting options, as well as further thermal capabilities.
Now an independent company, Artus was originally developed as part of Arup’s Ventures program, which was set up to commercialize innovative staff ideas.
