Steam Humidification

Hungarian Parliament: neo-gothic icon protected by humidity

The character of this building, the home of the Hungarian Parliament, is defined by the neo-Gothic elements of its facade, reflected in its many towers, spires and gables. Standing at approximately 315 feet in height, it is the second tallest building in Budapest, surpassed only by St. Stephen’s Basilica. Inside, the parliament showcases a style of historical classicism enriched with lavish gilded ornamentation. RS steam humidifiers from Condair ensure excellent humidity throughout, creating a comfortable environment for members of parliament and protecting the building’s refined interiors.

More about the Condair RS

Preserving heritage through precision climate control

Beyond its political significance, the Parliament Building is one of Hungary’s most treasured architectural and cultural landmarks. Its grand halls, historic chambers and richly decorated corridors require carefully regulated environmental conditions to safeguard delicate materials, artworks and handcrafted details. By maintaining stable humidity levels, Condair’s technology helps preserve this national symbol for future generations while ensuring that daily governmental operations take place in an environment that is both healthy and pleasant.

The Condair RS steam humidifiers boast patented limescale management which prevents permanent deposition of limescale on heater rods. Limestone crusts are successively detached and removed from the steam cylinder into the limescale collection vessel. Limestone management ensures extremely short waiting times and a long life.

The innovative control system fitted with a touch display ensures outstanding transparency of function and precise steam delivery. The units are the result of decades of experience and they define the state of the art in modern steam humidification.

ADAC Center, Munich

In March 2012, ADAC's new headquarters officially opened for business after six years of construction. Since December 2011, the office has been home to some 2,400 employees in over 100 professions, who were previously spread out across seven different locations. Bringing them all together in one place will encourage innovative ways of working, improve the speed of business processes, and simplify member services.

Royal Albert Hall

The Royal Albert Hall is probably the best-known concert building in Great Britain. Around two million guests a year enjoy acoustic cultural delights ranging from rock to classical music. Condair steam humidifiers ensure a perfect humidity in the organ chamber so that wooden parts maintain their integrity and shape, and move over each other perfectly, as they were designed to do.

The Chedi Hotel

After its opening in late 2013, The Chedi in Switzerland was named as a 2014 must go to destination by the international press. Together with other projects, it aims to make the small town of Andermatt more attractive than St. Moritz. On top of that, the Chedi exemplifies sustainability in a luxurious way. The hotel's sustainable and luxurious design is reflected in the architecture, building materials as well as its modern utilities.12 Condair hybrid humidifiers are installed to meet the building's air humidity requirements.

Actelion Business Center

Das imposante Gebäude im Stil des Dekonstruktivismus ist Hauptsitz des Pharmaunternehmens Actelion Ltd und wurde von den Schweizer Stararchitekten Herzog de Meuron entworfen. Die balkenartige Architektur erstreckt sich über sechs Stockwerke und bietet ungewohnte Durch- und Ausblicke, Erholungszonen mit Höfen und Terrassen sowie eine moderne Arbeitsatmosphäre für 350 Mitarbeiter. Durch die dreidimensionale Stapelung der Fassade waren 1.500 Detailzeichnungen, 2.500 Tonnen Stahl und 3,8 Kilometer Fachwerkträger notwendig, um den statischen Lastabtrag zu realisieren. Für ein optimales Raumklima ist durch innovative Hybrid-Luftbefeuchter der Serie DL von Condair bestens gesorgt.
