Fresh air creates a positive atmosphere – and boosts sales.
In an age characterised by increasing customer expectations and growing environmental awareness, the quality of indoor air for retail buildings is an increasingly important factor affecting purchasing decisions. A good indoor climate involves much more than comfort and plays a key role in promoting customer satisfaction and product longevity. ISH is the perfect platform for gathering information about the latest developments and technologies in the field of indoor air technology.
Air-conditioning and ventilation in the retail trade
Keeping food cool at the same time as creating a pleasant environment for customers and staff – the demands placed on air-conditioning technology for retail premises are high. In particularly busy shops and shopping centres, there is a greater need for air filters that remove pollutants, allergens, dust and germs from the air and thus reduce health risks. Such systems ensure clean air and help reduce the odours that can occur in closed rooms.
Air-conditioning and ventilation systems also regulate the temperature and humidity. Accordingly, ventilation systems should be designed not only to be efficient but also to meet the specific requirements of the retail sector, to improve air quality and reduce energy costs. Targeted control of ventilation technology can reduce energy consumption by up to 20 percent while significantly improving air quality.
Indoor climate as a success factor in the retail trade
The right ventilation can also influence the financial success of a retail business because people prefer to spend their money where they enjoy spending their time. Efficient air conditioning in retail stores ensures that the temperature in the sales areas remains at a comfortable level, regardless of the number of customers or the weather conditions outside.
Simple solutions such as an air-jet barrier mean that shop doors can remain open regardless of the weather. In summer, a cold barrier keeps insects, dust, allergens and the heat at bay. In winter, a jet of warm air keeps the warmed air inside the shop. These barriers are easy to install and maintain, which helps keep the energy consumption of the air-conditioning and heating systems as low as possible, whatever the prevailing weather conditions.
Sustainability and longevity in the field of ventilation technology
Energy-efficient equipment and regular maintenance help reduce operating costs and minimise the environmental footprint. This not only makes economic sense but also represents an important contribution to environmental protection.
The indoor climate of a retail building is a decisive factor for the success of a business. The climate affects not only customer satisfaction but also operational efficiency and system sustainability. ISH showcases innovative solutions that are tailored to the specific needs of the retail sector, ranging from intelligent control systems to advanced ventilation and air-conditioning technologies.
