Air handling units
for offices
Despite the growing prevalence of skyscraper office blocks in Britain’s cities, the majority of offices and commercial premises are located in buildings that are considerably older and smaller. Many of these buildings were constructed before the ErP Eco Design rules came into effect, making them difficult to adequately ventilate. Additionally, the heat load is not evenly distributed throughout these buildings, making a custom solution that accounts for differences in temperature all the more important. Heat recovery AHUs can support many HVAC designs including but not limited to Demand Controlled Ventilation (DCV), Variable Air Volume (VAV) and Constant Air Volume (CAV). At ECE UK, we specialise in providing custom air handling solutions that can meet efficiency regulations, cover large and varied spaces, and provide clean air throughout your premises. We are a highly experienced manufacturer of custom AHUs, drawing on over forty years in the industry to deliver excellence for every client. When you choose us, you will receive a truly personalised service and quality products that will deliver improved health and wellbeing at your site.

How we craft your air
handing unit
Planning and advice
You’ll receive a free site survey from a member of our team who can advise on the relevant regulations and guidelines you’ll need to meet. Seeing your site in-person will help us understand its needs better so we can tailor the design of your equipment to meet them.
1
Fully custom design
We produce fully bespoke products to configure the right air handling unit for the space you have available. This includes reduced component sizes where appropriate, different orientation of ductwork, and splitting AHU components to accommodate tight withdrawal spaces.
3
Ongoing support
Once your AHU is installed, you’ll have access to our client portal which includes invaluable information about your system. Our technicians will also be on-hand to complete maintenance and repair work when needed and to keep your unit working at its best.
5
Identify air quality
We source data from the Department of Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) about the air quality at your postcode to begin the planning process. This will help decide the precise needs of your AHU and the specific level of filtration required to deliver clean air and protect your building.
2
Professional installation
Our installers can deliver your AHU as components or a flat pack to fit inside small or listed buildings and assemble it in the plant room. Every part will be expertly installed to suit the needs of your building while still allowing access for future maintenance.

The importance of internal air quality in the commercial sector
Offices and other commercial buildings are often multi-use sites with many occupants during a given day. It is vital for the health of staff, customers, and visitors that they have clean and conditioned air. Each of our AHUs works alongside existing systems to provide a consistent temperature, with varying air volumes to serve areas with different heat loads. This will ensure efficient energy usage and optimal air handling across your entire site. Our units can reduce energy bills by as much as 25% and offer heat recovery efficiencies between 68 and 95 per cent. This makes them a cost-effective and environmentally conscious choice. With proper filtration in your air handling system you can ensure that indoor pollutants are effectively removed, and outdoor pollutants not allowed to come in. This can be as simple as making sure pollen can’t get in and affect those with hay fever, to removing particulate like sulphates or complex biological and chemical substances. This will ensure that your building’s occupants are healthy and well, tackling issues such as sick building syndrome and creating a pleasant and productive working environment.

Suitable products for your commercial site
All our air handling units are custom designed to meet the unique needs of your premises. This includes altering the shape and configuration to exactly fit the plant space you have available. We offer a full range of different units that ventilate rooms, clean and condition the air, and control the temperature to provide you with the optimum environment. These units are just a part of our range but are the best suited to an office or commercial building.
PXA
This unit is particularly well suited to heating and cooling recovery during the winter and summer which reduces the load on the central plant all year round. Its recovery efficiency can reach 80% as it uses the energy from the extract air to heat or cool the incoming supply air.
PXA3MX
The 3-way mix damper configuration of this AHU moves air from one space to another to balance the overall temperature and circulate air more evenly throughout each zone in a building. It can reach a heat recovery efficiency of 80% and is ideal for cleaning air and reducing heat consumption in the early morning.
RXA
These are specially designed to reduce humidity and can maintain efficiencies as high as 82% constantly through all climate conditions. This unit is available with sorption, condensation, and enthalpy rotors which make them highly effective at cooling recovery during the summers and dehumidifying the supply air.
RXA3MX
The RXA is enhanced with the addition of the 3-way mix which helps remove dead spots and temperature indifference as well as providing intelligent frost protection. This unit gives you more versatility allowing you to clean the air ahead of the day’s work.
MVHR
These are highly efficient units that can reach heat recovery efficiencies of 95% under the right circumstances. They are a highly cost-effective, space efficient, and quiet AHU with versatile functions that can be controlled from your existing BMS.
Intelligent energy controls
We provide custom controls to go alongside your AHU. The software and hardware are produced in-house which allows us to make changes to the controls even after they’ve been installed to ensure that they work the best they possible can for you.
As part of the customisation of your AHU we will provide the exact level of filtration appropriate to your building’s needs and the area that you are in. We use data provided by DEFRA that identifies the air quality at each postcode in the country to work out what the appropriate course of action is. We can produce systems that include a single filter or a four-filtration system, including a high-efficiency particulate absorbing filter, which can reach an efficiency as high as 99.99965%.
Sustainable energy management at commercial premises
Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning account for 30% of many commercial buildings’ total energy usage. This can be reduced with air handling systems designed for efficiency to save energy and money. This can also help you futureproof your premises as green legislation is becoming increasingly prevalent. Make sure your building is already compliant with an efficient and environmentally conscious air solution.
Eliminating sick building syndrome
Sick building syndrome is where the condition of a building causes the occupants to suffer symptoms such as headaches, eye and throat irritation, dizziness, and nausea due to pollutants and inadequate ventilation. With proper environmental control equipment we can improve the indoor air quality of your building. Our AHUs provide the right level of filtration to remove pollutants. Improving the quality of a building’s air is a scientifically proven way to improve the health and wellbeing of the occupants. With increased scrutiny around the health benefits of various food, it makes sense that the air should also meet high standards.
Intelligent Frost Protection
During night shutdown the intelligent frost protection feature in your system will monitor the internal condition of the building to protect it. The unit will run briefly every two hours to read the temperature and raise any parts of the building that are below a set temperature to that temperature. This will keep your building from being damaged by the cold over night without having to spend a fortune running the unit all night. You can adjust the set temperature and the time between the unit’s checks to suit your needs. When the day is ready to begin at your office the building will take far less time to get to the right temperature and will be comfortable for the entire day, so you won’t lose out on productivity.
