A ventilation system is one of the most critical elements of any building. Effective ventilation must be quiet, energy-efficient, and high-performing. A well-designed system easily maintains the appropriate temperature and humidity levels—tailored to the comfort of customers and employees, or specifically adjusted for stored goods and production processes.
For ventilation to be effective, it must be optimally designed. Errors made during the planning stage will inevitably cause issues throughout years of building operation. Therefore, investing sufficient time into the design phase is essential.
THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE
Experience shows that initial building layouts often evolve rapidly. As a business grows, new ventilation requirements emerge. Since system modifications or upgrades are generally costly and complex, it is vital to consider future needs during the design stage. Factors such as planned production increases, changes in product range, or hiring new staff should be taken into account, as these variables typically increase the demand on the system.
BENEFIT FROM PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANCY
Design errors can lead to user discomfort (e.g., inability to reach preferred temperatures or excessive noise) and, in extreme cases, significant financial losses.
To avoid these pitfalls, contact an HVAC Ratherm representative. Leveraging our extensive knowledge and years of experience, we will help you design an optimal ventilation system tailored to both current and future investment needs.

SELECTING THE RIGHT VENTILATION EQUIPMENT
One of the most important stages of system design is equipment selection. With various HVAC manufacturers on the market, your choice should be preceded by a thorough analysis. Given the significant costs involved, it is worth dedicating time to verify manufacturers and specific offers.
Here are key criteria to consider:
1. Manufacturer Experience:
HVAC Ratherm has specialized in the construction and installation of ventilation equipment for over a decade. We have implemented hundreds of systems across Poland for industries including large-scale industrial plants, shopping malls, hospitals, and logistics centers.
2. Price vs. Quality:
While price is a key factor, the lowest bid can be a trap, often resulting in poor quality, performance issues, and high maintenance costs. A more comprehensive offer from an experienced provider often proves more cost-effective in the long run through lower energy consumption and reduced failure rates.
3. Performance and Capacity:
The primary function is to exchange air efficiently. Systems must be designed to deliver the required volume of air. HVAC Ratherm offers a wide range of units, including: XD Monoblock Units, XK Compact Units, XK-G Gas-Fired Units, XK-P Suspended Units, XD-HP Units with Internal Heat Pumps. Our range covers capacities from 1,000 m³/h (e.g., XK 015 with a rotary heat exchanger) up to 38,000 m³/h (e.g., XD 340).
4. Selection Software:
To optimize your choice, we recommend the HVAC Ratherm AHU Configurator. This user-friendly tool allows you to select a unit in four simple steps, including automation applications.
5. Aesthetics:
In industrial or logistics facilities, aesthetics may be secondary. However, in offices and commercial spaces, the system should be discreet and blend seamlessly with the interior design.
6. Economy:
With rising energy prices, energy efficiency is now a primary selection criterion. Designing for low power consumption is essential for sustainable and cost-effective building management.
