Saving energy in the household

Opening the windows doesn't change the air and wastes energy.
Do you want clean air in your home without spending too much?

Aircare is the perfect appliance to make you feel healthy and well
and keep energy consumption down- it boosts comfort but not your power bills.


You save energy upstream not downstream

Often, we don't give much thought to energy costs, they seem to escape our control but they can be resolved a lot more easily than we think.

People tend to keep doing the same things automatically, sometimes for no real reason. If it's stuffy inside, we open the windows; if excessive humidity causes mould to grow on the walls, we call a builder to fix it and we take painkillers for our aches and pains.

These behaviours are deeply rooted and they made sense when we didn't have the technologies that are available now: they fix the problems downstream whereas the best solutions are upstream.

Saving energy in the household

OPENING WINDOWS

This is now obsolete: you don't get a change of clean air and you waste a lot of energy (about +25%) because you let in cold air in winter (so the heating system has to work harder to raise the temperature) and you let in hot air in summer (so the air-conditioner has to work harder to lower the temperature).

HUMIDITY AND MOULD

Normal household activities generate steam and moisture: when the relative humidity increases, in some cases condensation can form on the walls, particularly when it's cold outside. Condensation or an excessive increase in relative humidity inside fosters the growth of mould.

Mould is a fungus that frees its spores in closed environments, helping to cause allergies and irritating the respiratory tract. Fixing the walls can solve the effect but not the cause of the underlying problem: inadequate ventilation.

IMPACT OF INDOOR POLLUTION ON PUBLIC HEALTH

By way of example, considering only bronchial asthma in children and adolescents attributable to exposure to indoor allergens like mites, mould and pet dander, the Indoor Commission established by the Italian Ministry of Health to develop technical guidelines to reduce health risks related to indoor pollution reported an impact on public health of more than 160,000 prevalent cases per year, with direct costs of more than EUR 8,000,000. This is not considering the indirect costs relating to lost school and work days, which for this particular health issue amount to about 60 % of the total costs.

DO YOUR SUMS AND SAVE WITH AIRCARE

You already know how much it costs to address mould, condensation and humidity.
Here is how you can bring those costs down:

Technical costs
Home maintenance

  • fixing interior walls
  • repainting damaged walls with special coatings

Energy costs
Keeping your wallet closed

  • reducing heating costs
  • reducing air-conditioning/cooling costs
  • reducing power bills

Personal costs
Staying in good health

  • medical care
  • clinical tests
  • therapies and medicines

to cure all the ailments caused by breathing unhealthy air (allergies, asthma and respiratory complaints)

choose aircare to combine wellbeing and saving

DIRECTIVE

EC 125/2009

The Ecodesign Directive (and EC 1254/2014) defines the minimum performance and establishes the energy requirements that all ventilation devices must meet as from 2016. The Directive gives designers guidelines for preparing the general specifications and technical requirements for competitive bids.

Saving is good but profit is better

Thesan Aircare

The new frontier of saving energy is making a profit. Saving energy is good, making money is even better. With Aircare ES you can save much more than you consume.

For a 100 m2 apartment, considering an average methane gas supply:

  • if located in a temperate climate
    you'll save about 323 €/year
  • if located in a cold climate
    you'll save about 673 €/year

[Values estimated on the basis of the calculation methods under Direttiva EC 1254/2014]

All the Aircare options generate more saving than consumption: energy waste is minimised- comfort and wellbeing is maximised.

  • Aircare ES
  • Aircare AE
NO ADDITIONAL CONSUMPTION

NO ADDITIONAL
CONSUMPTION

Aircare really consumes very little: about 10 W for airflow, the same as a modern, energy-efficient light bulb. And that's not all, Aircare never stops amazing: you'll save more than you consume. Aircare is a household appliance that generates saving and at the same time guarantees comfort and wellbeing: living in your home is like being on holiday!
AN ADDED CLASS AS A BONUS

AN ADDED CLASS
AS A BONUS

Aircare ES gives you an extra energy Class so your property will be worth more. Are you renovating? When you replace your doors and windows, you can also install Aircare. The thermal efficiency of its heat exchanger really limits the thermal loss caused by opening windows to air rooms. This means it automatically rises to the next energy Class.
HUMIDITY UNDER CONTROL

HUMIDITY
UNDER CONTROL

Aircare ES is fitted with an enthalpy heat recovery unit that keeps indoor humidity at the right level in summer and in winter.
Specific sensors monitor the indoor humidity rate constantly and keep it at optimum levels.
No more sudden changes that pose a risk to your health, no more unpleasant feelings.
