Delivering conditioned air to your hotel
ECE UK are a highly experienced manufacturer of air handling units that specialise in delivering bespoke results to meet every one of your hotel’s needs. From the earliest design through to the final checks, everything is handled in-house by our technicians. We’ll customise the design to meet narrow plant rooms and make sure that every part of your building is provided with fresh and clean air. We specialise in delivering improved health and wellbeing to ensure that your guests all enjoy a comfortable stay. With a range of heat recovery options, you can enjoy the benefits of effectively conditioned air and save energy. 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). We are industry leaders in bespoke air handling solutions to boost health and wellbeing.

Our process for crafting
bespoke AHUs
Planning and advice
We work closely with you during the planning stage to ensure that all your site’s needs are being integrated into the design. Our team can also provide advice on the relevant building regulations so that your new system will keep you compliant.
1
Fully custom design
We are experts in delivering unique designs that can fit in confined plant spaces. This is especially advantageous in old or listed buildings. Our design engineers can customise your AHU down to millimetre if need be.
3
Ongoing support
We have teams dedicated to providing regular maintenance and, if need be, repairs to your AHU. You’ll be able to keep everything running as it should be for years to come with help from technicians who are extremely familiar with your system.
5
Identify air quality
Every building’s air will require a different level of treatment. That’s why we use data from the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) to identify the air quality at your postcode so we can determine the right course of action.
2
Professional installation
After the unit is manufactured in our factory, our installation teams will construct it at your site. If there is limited or difficult access, we’ll deliver it as a flatpack or as individual components so it can be moved to the plant room and assembled there.

The importance of indoor air quality in hotels
Maintaining good quality air in a hotel will not only help safeguard the health and wellbeing of the building’s occupants but is also good business sense. A comfortable atmosphere is essential to helping guests feel relaxed and enjoy their stay. This can be a challenge for hotels as they often contain many different areas with different air quality needs. Individual rooms, suites, a bar or restaurant, swimming pools, spas, and business centres will all have different requirements for fresh air, temperature, and humidity control. However, given most hotels are open every day of the year and operate 24 hours a day, this can lead to significant energy usage which drives up costs. A DCV (demand controlled ventilation) system installed alongside your air handling unit is the perfect way to maintain optimal control over the many different zones of your building. This will make automatic changes within pre-set parameters based on temperature, occupancy, humidity, and CO2 levels, delivering comfort and wellbeing while saving on energy costs.

Ideal air handling units for hotels
You need the right machinery to provide proper indoor air quality and temperature so that guests can feel relaxed during their stay. Each of these AHUs delivers purified air that has been filtered to clean it from pathogens. Clean air is key to creating the pleasant atmosphere that guests value and that generates good reviews and repeat business.
PXA
The plate exchanger is ideal for both heat and cool recovery in the winter and summer respectively. It uses the temperature from the extract air to warm or cool the supply air as appropriate via a plate that allows for this transfer, but not for the two to cross-contaminate.
PXA3MX
The 3-way mix in this plate exchange unit removes dead spots and accounts for temperature differences in the different parts of the building. Its intelligent frost protection feature keeps the building at a set temperature overnight, reducing energy costs for the early morning rush.
RXA
This unit’s sorption rotors are highly efficient (up to 82%) at not just transferring heat but also removing humidity from the air. This will create a comfortable environment at your venue all year round and reduce the workload of the central plant. This unit is also available with condensation and enthalpy rotors.
RXA3MX
With the same high efficiencies as the RXA, this unit has the added benefit of a 3-way mix. By integrating intelligent energy control this ensures that the different temperatures around the building are accounted for, and intelligent frost protection reduces the strain on the central plant during the morning period.
MVHR
These are highly efficient, low-maintenance, discreet, and cost-effective machines which can reach efficiencies of 95% in the right conditions. Their 0-10DVC input makes them easily controlled from your BMS or smart controls so you can adjust your air on the fly.
PXA3MX-SP
With efficiencies as high as 90% in the right conditions, these units reduce the need for extra heat generation around swimming pools. This saves energy, money, and reduces evaporation and condensation, and even corrosion.
Intelligent energy controls
Our intelligent controls are installed by our technicians with your AHU and can be customised to suit the exact needs of your site. They’ll enable you to set the exact temperature you need, increase and reduce it as needed, and maintain superior levels of indoor air quality.
In addition to customising your AHU as need to suit your needs, we will also provide a bespoke filtration system. We’ll select this according to the local air quality data provided by DEFRA and the needs of the space. As part of this we can install high efficiency particulate absorbing (HEPA) filters that remove harmful pathogens from the supply air. We can also provide ultra-violet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) which kill germs in the air that passes through it at 99.9% efficiency.
Reaching carbon goals with air handling
EU directive 2018/844 requires that all buildings in Europe be decarbonised by 2050 with long-term renovations. Buildings across the world account for 36% of greenhouse gas emissions and consume approximately 40% of the world’s energy. The guidelines laid out indicate that energy efficiency improvements and renewable energy use are a key part of meeting this goal. With ventilation accounting for 20-40% of the total energy use of a building, renovating your hotel’s system with a more efficient and effective version is a key measure to reach the EU’s target.
Customising your system’s controls
We ensure that when you purchase intelligent energy controls from us that they are fully integrated with your system, be it VAV, CAV, or DCV. At ECE UK, we customise our air handling units and our controls to work perfectly in tandem with one another on a design philosophy agreed with you early in the process. However, if there are any changes required, we can easily adjust the controls during the installation process to ensure that they meet your needs. This is possible because we produce all our hardware and software in-house, so our installers know exactly how to quickly tailor them to you. You can rely on our controls to work seamlessly with your system and enable you to expertly optimise the temperature, flow, and hygiene of air around the building.
