Ventilation solutions offered by Blauberg Ventilatoren are implemented in many large architectural and construction projects throughout the world. Among the most interesting projects is residential complex Purple Haze in Nairobi, Kenya, in development of which were involved leading international construction design experts.

  • safe evacuation of residents and service personnel in case of a fire.

Moreover, the customer had the following requirements to ventilation systems and equipment used:

  • low noise levels;
  • high energy efficiency;
  • concealed equipment installation.

When considering suppliers of ventilation systems, the customer proceeded from the following requirements: high quality and reliability of equipment; equipment had to comply with the project requirements, as well as with high safety, energy efficiency and environmental friendliness standards; availability of a package proposal of ventilation systems equipment, accessories and utilities from one supplier. All of the above requirements of the customer are fully met by ventilation products offered by Blauberg Ventilatoren, therefore Airtouch Cooling Systems, our partner in Kenya, was chosen as the supplier, who offered the following solutions.
