Creating healthy spaces < Introduction

Introduction
A healthy way of living
A person needs about 20m³/h of fresh air in order to feel comfortable
inside his/her home. Odours, CO2, radon gas, humidity … can easily
accumulate in badly ventilated rooms. Natural ventilation gives you the
opportunity to get rid of these problems and to create a healthy living
environment.

A healthy house
A newly built house contains about 3000 to 5000 litres of water vapour.
A well-insulated building will accumulate all of this extra water vapour,
leading to condensation and moisture build up inside the building. Natural
ventilation can help prevent this build up and can help guarantee the
longevity of your house and the materials that were used to construct it.

Energy savings
Ventilating by opening doors and windows is an option but this leads to a
serious waste of energy, infiltration of insects, draughts and it increases
the risk of burglary. RENSON® offers you effective and secure solutions for
ventilating your home.

Need for sun protection

Windows and other glazed surfaces facing south allow the occupants to
enjoy the beauty of the sun all year long. In the summer however, the
sun’s rays often are too powerful for unshaded windows, resulting in
overheating and problems with glare. External sun shades help control the
amount of solar gain and the amount of light entering the building without
obstructing the view outside.
Creating healthy concepts
3 basic principles:

 Basic ventilation
Basic ventilation provides good air quality into the building (IAQ or Indoor Air Quality). Sufficient fresh
outside air expels the polluted inside air from the building using the principle of supply, transfer and
extraction.

 External sun protection

A building or home with large glazed surfaces facing south can offer many advantages. During the
autumn, winter and spring, you can enjoy the benefits of the incoming sunlight. However, in the
summer this can lead to overheating and throughout the year annoying glare on TV and computer
screens. Structural sun protection and sunscreens can prevent this overheating and limit the amount of
glare. They stop the sun’s rays before they come into contact with the glazed surfaces and therefore the
undesired heat and blinding light from entering the building. And yet you can still keep that important
visual contact with your environment. 

 Night cooling
The advantage of using a large thermal mass is that it can accumulate excessive heat or coldness
throughout the year. By gradually releasing these temperatures the peaks and troughs in the sun’s
power can be smoothed out so heat can be used and controlled more effectively. Cooling the building
mass with significant natural airflows during the night and using effective shading during the day can
produce those optimal low indoor temperatures for most of the day. The airflows needed for night
cooling are 10 times higher than those for basic ventilation. That is why night cooling is also called
intensive night ventilation.

 Creating healthy spaces < Introduction

RENSON® recognises that every indoor environment requires its own approach depending on the usage and occupancy.
For example homes will generally be unoccupied during the day while offices have a high degree of occupancy during working
hours. RENSON® therefore developed several ‘Healthy Concepts’ that address the specific problems of various possible indoor
climate scenarios.
RENSON® also acknowledges the importance of easy installation and maintenance. Our products are therefore designed with both
the practical requirements as well as the comfort and wellbeing of the occupants in mind.

Healthy Building Concept®

Just as ourselves, our home is subject to the changing seasons. We therefore

need to adapt our homes so that no matter the outside circumstances, we
can always create an enjoyable climate indoors. RENSON®’s Healthy Domestic
Concept® ensures a good and healthy indoor environment whether it’s hot,
cold, windy or raining.
The concept is based on three fundamental elements: continuous and
controlled ventilation, intensive night ventilation, and sun protection for glass
façades. It guarantees healthy air, no draughts, no noise, protection from
overheating and protection from direct sunlight where we want it. It is also
characterised by low energy consumption and an attractive design.

Healthy Domestic Concept®

We live in our homes throughout the year and need them to adapt to the
changing seasons. RENSON’s Healthy Domestic Concept® ensures that
occupants are kept comfortable whether its hot, cold, windy or raining.

The concept is based on three fundamental elements: continuous and

controlled ventilation, intensive night ventilation, and sun protection for glass
façades. It guarantees healthy air, no draughts, no noise, protection from
overheating and protection from direct sunlight where we want it. It is also
characterised by low energy consumption and an attractive design.

Healthy Apartment Concept®

Apartment tenants or condominium owners expect the same level of comfort

as inhabitants of single family homes. RENSON® offers innovative solutions that
guarantee individualised comfort while saving precious space.

6
Healthy Veranda Concept®

A veranda/conservatory is an additional living space in your home that really

brings in the garden. RENSON® developed the Healthy Veranda Concept® so
that you could enjoy a healthy and comfortable indoor environment in your
veranda all year round.
This total comfort solution combines outdoor sun protection with the supply
of fresh air and the extraction of humid and warm air. It is RENSON®’s answer
to specific conservatory problems such as overheating in summer and excess
moisture and condensation in winter.
With its Healthy Veranda Concept®, RENSON® brings you longer and fuller
enjoyment of your garden.

Healthy School Concept®

A healthy indoor environment is essential at school as well.

The air quality in classrooms is often bad: too little ventilation, overheating
and a buildup of CO2... Students become tired faster and cannot concentrate
and often suffer from Sick Building Sydrome; itches, rashes, blocked noses
and neck pain.
RENSON®’s Healthy School Concept® is a natural solution that creates a
pleasant school environment with good air quality, all day and all year long.

Health Care Concept®

The indoor environment is of vital importance in hospitals and care centres. It

plays an important role in patient recovery. Hospital air often contains moulds,
bacteria and viruses caused and distributed primarily by poor ventilation and
overheating. CO2 accumulates as a result of too little ventilation in rooms
and corridors, creating all kinds of problems for staff, patients and visitors.
RENSON® has translated its expertise into the Health Care Concept® to tackle
the particular problem of a healthy indoor environment in hospitals and care
centres.

Healthy Outdoor Concept®

Warm sunny days are appreciated to the full on the terrace. But too much
sun can quickly become unpleasant. RENSON® created its Healthy Outdoor
Concept® solutions for outdoor living - special sun shading designs that
regulate the amount of sunlight to ensure a pleasant outdoor living experience.
The indoor environment also benefits from the additional shading.

 Introduction > Natural ventilation

Energy savings through demand-controlled ventilation

For several years now, SYSTEM C+® EVO by RENSON® has been a very successful ventilation system thanks to its simplicity, ease of
maintenance and energy efficiency.

The new Healthbox® II includes even more innovative technology. SmartZone technology ensures that the house is optimally
ventilated, according to the resident’s activities. The new TouchDisplay allows the residents to control their own personalised
ventilation program whilst measuring and displaying indoor air quality. This ventilation demand-controlled system helps to reduce
the energy consumption and creates a healthy indoor environment.

➀ Self-regulating supply

The self-regulating flap inside RENSON®

window ventilators ensures a constant
air flow despite changes in wind speeds
outside, guaranteeing a comfortable,
healthy air supply without the nuisance
caused by draughts.

➁ Transfer

Discreet door grilles allow the air to

flow through the building.

➂ Extraction on demand

The RENSON® software intelligently regulates the control modules so that energy savings can be made and a healthy indoor
environment is maintained. Extraction rates are controlled in wet and dry rooms depending on the presence of people, humidity
and CO2 levels.

• Moisture control: a temperature and humidity sensor is integrated in the control module. This electronic sensor responds
quickly and dynamically to changes in the relative humidity level in your home.
• CO2 control: a CO2 sensor is integrated in the control module. This sensor quickly responds to changes in the CO2 level inside
the house. It detects CO2 in absolute terms.
• VOC control: a VOC sensor is integrated in the control module. This sensor quickly responds to changes in the VOC level.
Thanks to its dynamic operation the presence of people can be detected wirelessly.
• Central ventilator: the electronically controlled EC motor is under control of the central processor. This ensures that the motor
always runs according to the optimal conditions. The appropriate extraction rate is regulated for each room, with minimal power
consumption.

 Extraction > Natural ventilation

Healthbox® II

The Healthbox® II screens moisture, VOC and/or CO2 in each connected

room 24 hours a day, even when the occupants are not at home.
The built-in sensor in the control module will open the control flap
to a greater or lesser degree. The Healthbox® II has up to 6 separate
connections to enable energy-efficient ventilation.

Unique automatic calibration system

The entire system is automatically calibrated, achieving the appropriate
flow rate for each control module, regardless of the length and type of
ducting. The control modules are programmed so that the right amount
of air is extracted in each room (whether wet or dry).
The control modules will then be set to the required maximum flow
rate per room and will communicate with the motor unit in order
to determine the required total flow rate of all wet and dry rooms,
specifically for that house. This avoids the risk of possible errors during
settings and is a major timesaver. The total adjustment time will be
limited to an average of 12 minutes.

Energy savings through optimised, extraction, on demand

The Healthbox® II has a powerful EC motor with control modules that
can ensure proper ventilation of any connected room at all times.
Demand-controlled ventilation is provided 24 hours a day in order to
achieve heat savings and savings in electricity. The control module
limits the extraction rate per room if possible and also runs the motor
at a lower speed. The Healthbox® II thereby achieves heat savings and
savings in electricity consumption.

Two installation options

• Installation on the wall or ceiling in a utility room
• Cord system in an unused corner in the attic.
Note: a vibration-free motor/fan combination will ensure whisper-quiet operation.

Operations

 Terrace coverings < Lagune® - Camargue® - Algarve®

Regardless of the weather conditions, we like to spend as much time outdoors

as possible. Our gardens have become very much an integral part of our
home, with our house and garden flowing into one. As a result, we now
also long for more atmosphere, comfort and optimum enjoyment outside.
Spending time outdoors is now be­coming outdoor living!

This is exactly why RENSON® has developed the Healthy Outdoor Concept®.

• A supply of fresh air and protection against the wind and rain ensures
physical comfort.

• The wind and sun protection prevents overheating and cooling, thus

ensuring thermal comfort.

• The front and sides can be closed off by means of mobile ­translucent
elements, therefore providing protection against the wind and rain but still
allowing you to see outside.

RENSON® is proud on its long-standing experience in sun protection and

ventilation and is therefore well-equipped to take the outdoor space up to a
higher level. By using just the right techno­logy and innovative products, you
can now also enjoy your garden in spring and autumn.

Extend your summer !
Camargue® is an innovative terrace covering equipped with a bladed
roof system. It can be closed off on all sides with wind-resistant
­Fixscreens®, glass sliding walls, Loggia® sliding ­panels or by using a
combination.

The roof consists of extruded aluminium blades that can be tilted to

adjust sun protection and ventilation as required. During showers, the
concealed guide water channels drain the water towards the columns.
This water drainage also operates when the blades are opened up when
it has stopped raining, and this ensures that the furniture on the patio
remains protected.

Camargue®

Algarve® is a simple and practical terrace covering also offering a

sun protection roof system based on rotating blades.

The extruded aluminium blades rotate up to 150° and thus enable you
to decide how much sun protection and/or ventilation you require.

When closed, the blades form a waterproof roof in normal showers.

A gutter system drains the rainwater away towards the columns.

Given its elegant and light design and availability in the full range of
RAL colours, the Algarve® fits in with any building style: contemporary,
traditional or modern.

Algarve®

Lagune® is an aluminium construction with integrated Fixscreen®

technology. The sun protection screen is fully built into the structure to
create an aesthetically pleasing unit. In view of its modular construction,
the terrace covering can easily be extended, even at a later date.

The Fixscreen® technology, combined with unrivalled fabric

tensioning, ensures that the rainwater is drained towards the concealed
guide water channels. Even when the fabric is not fully extended, any
water falling upon it will be drained by these integrated channels.
