AirGreen’s Rapid Response Drastically Improves Daily School Life
Thermal comfort is a critical factor in the school environment, directly impacting students' learning and health. Recently, an elementary school in Laval faced a major issue: an outdated air conditioning system seriously affecting classroom conditions. At AirGreen, we provided a customized HVAC solution that completely redefined indoor conditions, offering immediate benefits to both students and teachers.
Discover how our expertise in air conditioning and rapid response enabled this Laval elementary school to permanently resolve its temperature and air quality issues.
Initial Assessment: An Aging System Unable to Keep Up with Demand
Upon our arrival, the AirGreen team quickly assessed the gravity of the situation: an HVAC system installed over twenty years ago, inefficient and excessively energy-consuming. This aging system had become incapable of maintaining stable, comfortable temperatures, making hot days especially challenging for students and staff.
The main problems identified were:
-
Overheated classrooms during the summer.
-
Poor distribution of cooled air, causing significant temperature differences between rooms.
-
Excessive energy consumption, resulting in noticeably higher electricity bills for the school.
Given these findings, we immediately proposed urgent intervention to replace the existing equipment with a modern, high-performance system.
Choosing an Appropriate Solution: Installing Fujitsu LZAH Series Wall-Mounted Air Conditioners
Considering the building’s architectural constraints and the specific needs expressed by school management, we opted to install multiple units of the Fujitsu LZAH Series wall-mounted air conditioners, renowned for exceptional energy efficiency, quiet performance, and the use of environmentally friendly R-32 refrigerant.
The precise technical specifications of the selected model include:
-
Brand and Model: Fujitsu LZAH Series
-
Installed Capacity: Units of 12,000 BTU and 18,000 BTU, based on classroom size
-
Energy Efficiency: SEER rating up to 33, enabling significant reductions in energy costs
-
Refrigerant: R-32, low Global Warming Potential (GWP)
-
Eligibility for Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert subsidy
Precise Installation Process: Overcoming Technical Challenges
The installation required precise and efficient management to minimize disruptions to school activities. Our specialized team in HVAC installation in Laval performed methodical work across several steps:
-
Assessment and removal of old equipment: Dismantling outdated units and securing existing conduits.
-
Optimized installation of new Fujitsu units: Strategically positioning wall-mounted air conditioners to ensure even air distribution throughout classrooms.
-
Aesthetic and discreet integration: Careful execution to preserve the visual appearance of classrooms, avoiding any visual disruption.
-
Final adjustments and testing: Precise calibration of units to guarantee optimal performance immediately upon activation.
This project allowed us to once again demonstrate our expertise and ability to efficiently handle pressure and tight deadlines.
Immediate Results: Restored Thermal Comfort
The positive effects of this new installation were immediate and impressive:
-
Consistent, comfortable temperatures in every classroom, effectively eliminating excessive heat issues.
-
Significant noise reduction due to the extremely quiet operation of Fujitsu units.
-
Notable decrease in energy costs, with savings up to 35% compared to the old system.
These tangible results were highly appreciated by school management, teachers, and parents, who were delighted to see significant improvements in school comfort.
Real Testimonial: Complete Satisfaction from School Management
The principal of the elementary school emphasized the effectiveness of our intervention by stating:
“Thanks to the AirGreen team, our school now benefits from an ideal environment for learning and teaching. The installation of the Fujitsu air conditioners has drastically improved daily life for our students. We particularly appreciated the professionalism, speed, and impeccable quality of the work carried out by AirGreen.”
