Commercial air handling units are a suitable climate control solution for museums, galleries, leisure, healthcare, production, and any commercial space that requires precision air handling. Available in a variety of specifications and flexible configurations, these high quality, cost effective commercial air handling units are designed to provide additional heating or cooling with maximum efficiency.
Whether it's a busy leisure centre, a commercial swimming pool or a prestigious art gallery, different spaces have different demands. A leisure centre may want to keep temperatures cool for those working out, whereas a gallery needs to control humidity to preserve priceless artwork.
While it is possible to regulate conditions throughout a large facility using a single system per room, this can be costly to set up and run, especially in hotels where a single building can house hundreds of individual rooms.
Air handling units (AHUs) are large systems capable of delivering highly efficient whole-building climate control on a per-room basis throughout commercial facilities.
By handling air quality in large spaces, alongside temperature and humidity, AHUs work to minimise energy consumption and operating costs, all while creating a comfortable, healthy and productive climate for occupants.
Although this technology can be built to custom specifications, the core principle remains the same. Air handlers draw in outdoor air and clean, heat or cool it, depending on the needs of a space. Conditioned air is supplied to where it is needed, and stale air is extracted while heat is recovered.
Treated fresh air units (TFAs) serve a similar purpose to AHUs, however, there are key differences in this technology.
A TFA uses 100% fresh air, never recirculating existing inside air to regulate conditions. While air quality is maximised, this process requires more energy to operate. An AHU, on the other hand, harnesses heat recovery ventilation to maximise efficiency and economy.
Although commercial air handlers represent one of the most energy efficient methods of whole-building climate control, it is important to select the right type and size of AHU for the best energy savings.
With decades of experience delivering efficient and effective climate control, and a wide range of solutions that prioritise sustainability, durability and usability, Dantherm Group is the manufacturer of choice for dependable commercial air handling solutions for any sector.

A commercial air handling unit, sometimes referred to as a commercial AHU, is a large, comprehensive system designed to meet the climatic needs of an entire building.
Specified for individual environments, these systems provide heating, cooling, drying and ventilation as needed to maintain the optimal temperature, humidity and air quality inside with maximum efficiency.
Prestigious art galleries. Large office buildings. Busy cinemas. Different spaces have their own unique climate demands, which commercial air handlers meet through bespoke design and delivery.
Although commercial AHUs can vary in their construction and capabilities, they operate on the same principle. Outside air is first drawn into the machine, where it is conditioned to meet the needs of the facility, before being distributed inside.
With air flowing into the device, the in-built cooling and heating coils are tapped to provide fresh air at the right temperature. At the same time, EC fans move the conditioned air throughout the building, while dehumidification technology keeps humidity at comfortable levels.
Instead of using multiple separate devices to control the climate in large spaces, a commercial air handling unit can handle this task using a single system. This has several benefits for facilities:
Commercial air handlers have to be regularly maintained, as these solutions handle large amounts of outside air and often operate continuously. However, due to the bespoke nature of these systems, the cadence of maintenance required may vary.
For detailed information on when and how you should maintain your AHU, reach out to our team of experts. We can advise on best practices, and pair you with one of our trusted servicing partners across Europe.
Yes. Either by delivering fresh outside air into a space, or using a series of filters to cleanse areas of harmful particles, commercial air handlers can significantly improve the air quality of practically any facility.
Whether a leisure centre needs to keep temperatures at a healthy level, or a prestigious gallery has to control humidity and protect priceless artwork, commercial air handlers can be used across a wide range of large environments to create and maintain ideal conditions, such as:
Air handling units act as a single, all-encompassing solution to control the climate in commercial spaces. Using fewer units reduces both initial purchase prices and long-term electricity consumption, leading to substantial cost savings.
Additionally, as AHUs are designed with a specific setting in mind, they maximise energy efficiency by delivering the precise amount of conditioned air required.
Choosing the right commercial air handling unit for your specific needs requires specialist knowledge and a wealth of experience. Our team of experts have both, and have been responsible for countless successful installations since 1958.
We consult with you on your ideal solution and match you with your nearest local supplier, allowing you to achieve optimal performance, maintain a comfortable and healthy environment, and make the greatest energy savings.
