Magazín 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.

Pandemie koronaviru jsme v sevření již více než rok, takže hlavní téma nového života TROX nemůže být vhodnější: "zdraví".

Netřeba dodávat, že se nemůžeme vyhnout tématu COVID-19. Nyní je však jisté, že riziko přenosu lze minimalizovat účinnou a moderní ventilační technologií. Život TROX nastíní, jak se přední sdružení v našem oboru, FGK a VDMA, silně zaměřila na požadavky na větrání a čištění vzduchu místností v souvislosti s pravidly týkajícími se distancování, hygieny, masek a větrání, jakož i na rizika infekce, a definovala jasná pravidla, za jakých okolností je poskytována ventilace, a tedy dostatečná ochrana před infekcí.

Ale samozřejmě existují i další zajímavá témata: seznámíte se s naším nejdůležitějším jídlem, a to se vzduchem, který dýcháme – a uslyšíte, co o tom říkají známí odborníci a vědci. Pro nový život TROX jsme dokonce vyzpovídli dva z nich: prof. Martina Kriegela z Institutu Hermanna Rietschela na jeho průlomových výsledcích výzkumu a Dr. Thomase Voshaara z Bethanien-Krankenhaus v německém Moersu o jeho zkušenostech jako respirační specialista během pandemie koronaviru.

Těšit se můžete také na vzrušující projektovou zprávu, ve které posvědíme ventilační a klimatizační zařízení v nové budově nemocnice Haus M v Klinikum Karlsruhe. Klimabau, který je zodpovědný za výstavbu, realizaci, uvedení do provoz a údržbu, spolupracoval s odborníky z TROX a TROX HGI na vývoji kompletní strategie klimatizace a větrání – to vše plně v souladu s heslem "vše z jednoho zdroje".

V novém čísle si můžete přečíst vše ostatní - užijte si!

One of the most used, but also one of the vaguest terms, in our language is sustainability. We should eat sustainably, live close by, move sustainably, work and live sustainably.

However, what does sustainability mean? Where does the term come from? What does it tell us?

The new TROX life tries to provide answers to these questions.

With a series of contributions from the areas of nature, energy, business, and life, TROX life has approached the topic and wants to bring clarity to a thoroughly nebulous term.

What TROX is doing to make the company sustainable will be highlighted, as will the technical innovations with which TROX is preparing for a sustainable future.

'Country air, city air. Urbanisation and the consequences.' The title of the latest edition of TROX life is not accidental. Cities are ever expanding. Megacities with a population of more than ten million are no longer a rarity. The volume of traffic and particulate matter pollution are increasing, while green space is disappearing. All this has brought some creative ideas to life. Take urban farming, where very unlikely areas are being converted to urban farms that can provide cities with fresh produce. Another creative idea concerns tiny houses, which may actually help alleviate the lack of dwellings.

Yet another focus of the new magazine is filter technology. Sounds boring, but there's actually much more to it. Urbanisation has a considerable effect on ventilation and air conditioning. The HVAC industry has to respond by finding effective and efficient solutions to meet increasingly critical requirements on healthy indoor air. The fact that we spend 90% of our time indoors shows the importance of good indoor air quality and sufficient ventilation. Healthy air increases our personal comfort, improves our performance and causes fewer infections and allergic reactions to airborne germs and particles – in line with our mission: TROX Technik for indoor life quality.

As you can see, urbanisation is a multi-faceted issue. As usual, there's also a place for humour in our magazine.

Enjoy!

Our goal is to awaken your interest in air and keep it awake! The TROX life customer magazine gives you regular updates on the topic of air and offers many interesting perspectives.
