Smart and sustainable cooling as a push for a greener world

Lars Erik Knaack, the CEO of NOVENCO Building & Industry, sheds light on the industry’s emphasis on sustainable cooling and energy efficiency. He highlights the ZerAx fans’ features, which aid in achieving these goals. Additionally, he mentions the company’s strict adherence to ISO quality standards.

How does NOVENCO Building & Industry address the growing demand for sustainable cooling?
There has been a noticeable surge in demand for energy efficiency, particularly in India and Southeast Asia, which is strongly driving the NOVENCO Building & Industry market. Our company has always been committed to sustainable cooling, deeply ingrained in our DNA. Our flagship product is the most energy-efficient fan available, with an exceptionally long lifespan. Moreover, it boasts a remarkable 98% recyclability rate after 20-25 years of service. We are continually exploring ways to enhance the sustainability of our products and incorporate more recycled and sustainable materials into our manufacturing process.

How are the innovations inclined to maintain air quality standards?
Our primary focus is ZerAx fans, the most energy-efficient fans available on the market, now also certified by AMCA. These fans are highly durable and built to last. We aim to promote a safer, greener world by providing efficient air movement solutions. We strive for energy efficiency and sustainability to achieve a greener world. Additionally, we offer fans designed for smoke extraction to ensure a safer environment.

How has NOVENCO’s 75-year commitment to energy efficiency translated into their latest product, the ZerAx fan?
NOVENCO has been committed to energy efficiency for 75 years, and the ZerAx fan is the latest addition to our product line. The fan is designed with energy efficiency in mind, with a fan efficiency rating of up to 92 percent. The design is optimised to achieve maximum energy efficiency for the fan.

The versatility of the ZerAx fan is impressive, as it can be used in various applications, such as air washers, air handling units, single fan units, and industrial purposes. The range of uses for this fan is extensive. Our jet fan range for car parks is also on display, and we are looking into introducing our tunnel range to the market.

What has been NOVENCO’s experience in the Indian market, and how has the company’s presence evolved over the years?
Our manufacturing is based in Denmark, located in Europe’s Scandinavian region. However, we have plans to establish an assembly set up in India in the future, which we are actively exploring.

At NOVENCO, we are committed to adhering to ISO quality standards and ensuring the quality of our products. Our products have TÜV certificates from Germany, affirming their quality. Additionally, the ZerAx fan has undergone AMCA testing at a certified laboratory, and we have obtained its certificate.

We are delighted with our positive reception in the Indian market and are eager to expand our operations here. This is our sixth participation in this event, and it has been an incredible journey from the beginning. NOVENCO was a relatively unknown brand six years ago, but today we have our booth and a strong presence in the market. We are pleased with our progress so far.

The future focus on energy-efficient and sustainable solutions in India presents many market opportunities for us. We are excited to explore these opportunities and continue to grow our presence in the Indian market.

How does NOVENCO’s focus on moving air for a greener and safer world impact the company’s overall mission and strategy?
We take pride in our cutting-edge fan technology. Thanks to our 75 years of focus on energy efficiency and sustainability, our fans are among the most energy-efficient ones available today.

The NOVENCO ZerAx fan is particularly noteworthy as it is an axial flow fan with a unique design. The blades and the overall design of the fan are optimised for maximum energy efficiency. Our inspiration for the design comes from the aerospace industry, particularly jet engines.

Ultimately, we aim to move air for a greener and safer world. This is the driving force behind everything we do, and we take great pride in our ability to contribute to a more sustainable future through our technology.
