Introduction saving you energy

Thermal Stratification - the single biggest waste of energy in

buildings today*

Airius Europe Ltd is a UK based company specialising in saving organisations significant amounts on theirenergy usage through destratification.

Through in-depth research and millions of dollars spent on product development Airius USA now has arange of highly effective destratification products patented and available worldwide.

Airius Europe Ltd was formed in 2006 to promote this unique system with the mission to help anyorganisation that heats or cools internal spaces, by balancing temperature differences which naturallyoccur and thus save on their energy input.

With our next generation of destratification systems and with over 75,000 units sold to date (as of Feb2014) Airius have quickly become recognised as the worlds experts and leaders in the field ofdestratification.

As a result we have amassed an impressive client list.

*Research conducted by utility giant DTE Energy. The Carbon Trust recommends destratification as one of its top 3 carbon saving

measures.

What is Destratification & How Will I Benefit?

Destratification is the process of breaking down and balancing different temperaturelayers which naturally occur in every building between the floor and ceiling whenheating or cooling is applied.

The ultimate goal of destratification is to achieve a 0C difference. To achievethis all air must be evenly circulated within an internal space otherwisetemperature imbalances will occur.

Most traditional destratification fan manufacturers consider a 5Cdifference to be acceptable; however these systems leave hot/coldspots, produce uncomfortable air movement, can be noisy and often

only achieve modest energy savings.

Airius manufactures the next generation of destratification systemsgoing far beyond the traditional fan in the ceiling approach. The Airiussystem typically achieves 0C 2C difference between floor andceiling depending on building design.

At this level you are maximizing the efficiency of your existing heatingor cooling system therefore maximizing savings. This is how Airius canachieve 20% - 50% reduction on energy bills, sometimes more. Seethe case studies at the back of this brochure.

How Does The Airius System Work? saving you energy

4

The Airius system easily balances temperatures in any given space byslowly moving all the internal air. Airiuss unique, patented andinnovative design creates a slow moving column of air which, when ithits the floor, spreads out along the floor getting into every corner of thebuilding before rising back up to repeat the process.

Patented Stator Technology

With any axial fan, the spinning blades induce arotational component into the air streamcausing turbulence and reduced throw.Airius patented multi-vane stator

technology transfers this rotationalenergy to create columnar laminarflow, increasing throw distance. Thisis a standard feature on all Airiusranges.

Installation

A typical installation includes a series of units

mounted just below the ceiling, evenly spacedthroughout a facility.

Oil prices dropped by an average of 9.5% in 08/09

compared to the previous winter period 07/08. This will

enhance the actual savings.

The mean temperature for East Anglia during winter

07/08 was 5.7C. The mean temperature for East Anglia

during winter 08/09 was much cooler at 3.4C.

The heating system thermostats are set to 16, resulting in

an increase in the requirement for heating in East Anglia of 22%.

Morrisons Supermarket

- Knottingly Store

Morrisons, the fourth largest supermarket chain in the UK, is

always looking for ways to reduce their energy costs and carbon

footprint and ways to increase customer comfort.

Supermarket operators and their HVAC consultants have been

trying to resolve the age old problem of cold chiller aisles and

uncomfortably warm clothing aisles for many years. Costly and

inefficient ducting systems, under cabinet heaters and heat retrieval systems have failed to solve the problem to date.

Mitton Mechanical, a Morrisons contractor, approached Airius in late 2007 to conduct a trial in the Morrisons Knottingly

store in Wakefield. Airius units were placed at 4 metre intervals in three chiller aisles in the hope of reducing the

stratification from 6-8C to 1-2C thus making the chiller aisles more comfortable (without adversely affecting the chiller

units). More comfortable chiller aisles should increase the aisle spend as less shoppers rush through a cold area. A side

benefit is to eliminate freezer/cabinet fogging.

The trial was hugely successful and over 100 Morrisons stores have now been retrofitted with the Airius units. The Airius

units are now on the standard specification list for all new stores and will be retrofitted as part of the normal refurbishment

program.

Morrisons and Mitton Mechanical are a pleasure to work with. Their eagerness to reduce energy consumption and increase

the comfort levels for customers puts them at the very top of the Green supermarket list, which is why they were the first

supermarket in the UK to be awarded the prestigious Carbon Trust Standard for making real reductions in their carbon

emissions and energy usage.

Newmarket Motors- Cork ShowroomKey Points:

Approx. 12C heating reduction.

A/C settings reset from high to low.

Heating reduced by approx. 24 hours per week.

First floor conditions resolved by recirculating

the uncomfortably high temperatures to floor

level where conditions were too cold, thus also

solving the ground floor low temperature problem.

Newmarket Motors installed the Airius system into their

Cork showroom through their licensed contractor

Electrical Mechanical Controls Ltd.

They needed to resolve the uncomfortably high

temperatures experienced on their first floor and the

uncomfortably low temperatures found on their ground

floor, which were creating unsuitable conditions for theirstaff to work in.

The Airius destratification system was simple and quick to

install by their private contractor. It not only resolved the

temperature imbalance, but also highly reduced the

output, workload and operating times required from the

A/C system, offering significant savings on their energy

costs.

"We (Electrical Mechanical Controls Ltd - Ireland) surveyed the VW Showroom as the owner had expressed that he was having

problems with uneven temperatures between the upstairs offices and downstairs offices and showroom. Staff upstairs were too

hot and the staff downstairs were working with their coats on at times. The Showroom has 3 sides of glass, floor to roof. They

have 4 combined heating/cooling units with the temperature set at between 30 33C with 4 blowers set to maximum.

We installed 3 Airius Model 25s and we are awaiting the electricity bills to show definite reductions. In the meantime, the

temperature on the A/C units have been reset at between 18 22 C with the 4 blowers on the low setting and 2 of these are

turned off intermittently for approx. 2 4 hours per day.

Staff on both floors commented on the lovely comfortable temperature in comparison to before the system was fitted. These

have been monitored during the cold spell of weather that we are experiencing at the moment."
