TROX LIFE - THE MAGAZINE FROM TROX

Intelligent ventilation technology must become the norm! And that in the truest sense of the word. "School and ventilation" is therefore also the main topic of the new TROX life, which has just been published.

Efficient and sustainable learning is the basis for good (school) education. Various framework conditions play an important role in this: the architectural design of the learning environment, but also the indoor climate and ventilation in particular.

Nevertheless, teachers and students can only dream of minimum air quality standards in many places. While in other countries, especially in Scandinavia, good air quality was already achieved in a large part of schools years ago, practically nothing has happened in Germany - although corresponding minimum requirements for mechanical school ventilation systems exist. In the new issue, you can read about this in an interview with Professor Geo Clausen from Denmark, one of the most renowned researchers in the field of school ventilation.

We also present our new SCHOOLAIR-S-HV floor-standing unit. Delivered ready for connection, it can be positioned on any wall, is quick and easy to install, and is very efficient thanks to its high air performance and heat and moisture recovery.

We also report on the Indoor-Air trade fair in Frankfurt. There, on the initiative of the Heinz Trox Foundation, a much-noticed symposium took place on the topic of Indoor Air Quality. And we entertain you with unusual, curious and interesting facts about schools.

We hope you enjoy reading this issue!

We have been in the grip of the coronavirus pandemic for over a year now, so the main theme of the new TROX life couldn't be more fitting: “health”.

Needless to say, we cannot avoid the topic of COVID-19. But it is now certain that the risk of transmission can be minimised by effective and modern ventilation technology. TROX life will outline how the leading associations in our industry, FGK and VDMA, have therefore heavily focused on the requirements for ventilation and air purification of rooms in connection with the rules regarding distancing, hygiene, masks and ventilation, as well as the risks of infection, and have defined clear rules as to under which circumstances ventilation and therefore sufficient protection against infection is provided.

But of course there are other interesting topics: you will get to know our most important food, namely the air we breathe – and hear what well-known experts and scientists have to say about it. For the new TROX life, we even interviewed two of them: Prof. Martin Kriegel from the Hermann Rietschel Institute on his ground-breaking research results, and Dr. Thomas Voshaar from the Bethanien-Krankenhaus in Moers, Germany, on his experiences as a respiratory specialist during the coronavirus pandemic.

You can also look forward to an exciting project report, in which we report on the ventilation and air conditioning equipment in the new 'Haus M' hospital building at Klinikum Karlsruhe. Klimabau, which is responsible for construction, execution, commissioning and maintenance, has worked together with experts from TROX and TROX HGI to develop a complete air conditioning and ventilation strategy – all fully in line with the motto "everything from a single source".

You can read everything else in the new issue - enjoy!
