Planning and maintenance
The immediate working and living environment of many millions of people today is influenced by ventilation and air-conditioning systems. A hygienically planned, executed and maintained system has a positive effect on the health, well-being, and performance of the room occupants. But improperly planned and poorly maintained systems can also have a negative impact on health and well-being.

Air handling systems: Inspection according to VDI 6022
In order to prevent negative effects of room air technology on the health of room users, VDI Guideline 6022 prescribes regular hygiene inspections. This is because incorrectly planned and maintained air handling systems can cause damage to health.
Regular hygiene inspections are mandatory!
Hygiene inspections include an independent assessment of your air handling system and the air-conditioned rooms. Furthermore, microbiological examinations of e.g. filter, duct or heat exchanger surfaces, of feed, cooling and humidifier water as well as of air in the AHU and/or in the rooms compared to the outside air are carried out. In addition, the physical climate parameters of air temperature, humidity, and air velocity are determined in various areas of the AHU.
- At the end of the tests, you will receive an expert report that describes the hygienic-technical condition of your air handling unit.
- In case of new installations of air handling units, we carry out an independent hygiene acceptance test according to VDI guideline 6022.
We are happy to help you with various offers to meet the constantly increasing demand for consulting and training.
