Air handling units
for education sites
Make sure that your school, college, or university is fully ventilated and well-supplied with fresh air. ECE UK are a highly sought-after air handling unit manufacturer founded in 1979. We have decades of experience designing, installing, and maintaining bespoke air handling solutions to education sites across the country. With increasingly unpredictable and extreme weather, it has never been more important to have a temperature-controlled supply of clean and well-conditioned air. Replenishing the air and maintaining a steady temperature will aid student performance and the comfort of staff. Our AHUs are tailored to accommodate the different needs of each part of the site such as sports halls, science labs, auditoriums, and classrooms to remove indoor pollutants and prevent outdoor contaminants entering the buildings. They can even regulate CO2 levels to ensure that the air in occupied areas is healthy and breathable to help improve student performance. We manufacture all our units in-house and tailor them specifically to the needs of your site. We’re the team to choose for a truly personalised and bespoke service.

Our process to create your
new air handling units
Planning and advice
We will visit your site and conduct a survey free of charge. This will help us understand your specific needs and how we can meet them. We can also provide specific advice on the relevant legislation and guidelines your system will need to meet such as Building Bulletins 101 and 93 and Building Regulations Approved Document L and F.
1
Fully custom design
We have a dedicated team of design engineers who will produce a fully bespoke AHU designed down to the millimetre if necessary to meet your requirements. They’ll coordinate with our in-house manufacturing team to ensure that it is crafted to the exact specifications you need.
3
Ongoing support
Our involvement doesn’t end once you’ve got your air handling unit. We offer a full suite of additional services including regular maintenance and emergency repairs to keep your AHU running at its best and keeping your school’s air replenished, clean, and controlled.
5
Identify air quality
Our team will use data from your postcode provided by the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) to see what your local air quality is. This will ensure that our design is tailored to the create the right supply air category to maximise health and wellbeing at your site.

Why does air quality matter in education?
Air quality is of vital importance to the performance of students and teachers in an education setting. Comfortable airflow and temperature aid concentration, which will contribute to better results and improved quality of teaching. Having a proper system of ventilation can help remove allergens and pathogens from the air to reduce absences from sickness. With our custom designs and intelligent controls, the system can also be adjusted to suit low-occupancy times so you can save on energy costs when rooms or buildings are not in use. Conventional air conditioning units do not supply the same level of air exchanging that is required to properly ventilate and clean the air. Education facilities require a huge range of air quality solutions, such as keeping sports centres well ventilated, removing fumes from science labs, and creating comfortable spaces in classrooms, canteens, and auditoriums. Clean and conditioned air could not be more vital to the proper function of a school, college, or university.

Air handling units best suited to education sites
We design, manufacture, and install a huge range of different air handling units all suited to different purposes and functions. What unites them is the quality of their manufacture, the specificity of their design to your needs, and the efficiency of our installation teams. These units are best suited to an education facility, but we’re always available to help you choose the ideal equipment for your site, where it can there be further tailored by our team.
MVHR
These are excellently suited to education sites. They are low line units that easily fit into a variety of spaces, make little noise, and provide high-quality filtration. The speed of the fans can be smoothly controlled from your building management system and are highly efficient, saving energy.
PXA
This is an ideal unit for heat recovery. The central plate recuperator exchanges heat from the extract air to the supply with an efficiency of up to 80% in the right conditions which reduces the workload on the central plant. They are especially effective for cooling recovery in the summer season.
RXA
The sorption rotors of this unit make it highly effective at summer cooling recovery and dehumidification of the supply air to create a comfortable environment. It is highly effective under different conditions all year round but at its best can deliver an efficiency of up to 82%. This unit is also available with condensation and enthalpy rotors.
PXA3MX-SP
Perfect for any area with a swimming pool or similar facility. These units can reach heat recovery efficiencies of up to 90%. This reduces the need for heat generation, controls temperature and humidity, lowers evaporation from the pool, and prevent condensation and potential corrosion damage.
Intelligent energy controls
You’ll be able to control your new AHU with highly effective controls that allow you to manage the temperature down to 10C increments. This will help you adapt as the needs of your site change with the weather and level of occupancy, while maintaining superior air quality and using energy efficiently.
Each of these units delivers purified air that has been filtered to remove harmful pathogens and conditioned to the right quality and temperature. They are ideal for improving the performance of both students and teachers, aiding with learning, decision making, health, and fitness. Our engineers can help you select the right unit for each part of your site to ensure you’re getting the best level of ventilation and air quality possible.
Selecting the right filtration for your AHU
Using our knowledge of your site and data provided by DEFRA about the air quality in your area we’ll choose the ideal level of filtration for your air handling unit. We’ve even simplified this process with our indoor air quality tool which can be used to help match filtration efficiency with the outdoor air and all other relevant factors. We can then install filters in a range of particle sizes to provide previously unattainable levels of filtration. These can capture particulates smaller than a red blood cell and even the coronavirus.
