Adiabatic In-Duct Humidification

Condair humidifies Munich’s modern THE m.pire offices

Creating modern work environments that combine architectural ambition, sustainability, and employee well-being requires careful planning and precise climate control. The “THE m.pire” building ensemble embodies this approach, offering a forward-looking workspace where design, efficiency, and comfort come together. To help ensure a healthy indoor atmosphere throughout the complex, Condair’s hybrid humidification technology plays a key role.

More about Condair DL

Architecture, sustainability, and comfort combined

The “THE m.pire” building ensemble, designed by the American star architect Helmut Jahn, consists of a 23 story tower as well as two five-story campus buildings and two seven-story campus buildings. The seamless glass facade confers a visual and spatial sense of harmonic unity on the four elongated building segments and the tower. A flexible floor plan forms the basis for a future-oriented work environment that maximizes aesthetics and efficiency, allowing the internal space to be divided into individual offices as well as combination and open-plan offices. Two of the buildings, the Skyline Tower and Bailey Palace, have been rented to OSRAM since 2012 and serve as the company’s head office. In total, about 1,200 workstations are available in an area of just over 301,389 ft². The OSRAM head office meets the standards for a modern workplace, and satisfies all the requirements for sustainable building management. The buildings have been certified with the DGNB Gold Certificate from the German Sustainable Building Council. Environmental, economic and sociocultural factors were all taken into account for this certification. Condair hybrid humidifiers ensure comfortable humidity levels.

Condair DL

The Condair DL is the next generation of the Condair Dual2, the world's most successful system for adiabatic humidification. Its hygienic credentials have proven successful in practice and were verified and certified by independent organizations with public responsibility.

Hybrid humidification relies exclusively on the advantages of atomization and evaporation. This results in the sustainable resolution of key problems which can emerge when these technologies are used in isolation. The humidification system is therefore the first choice in terms of hygiene, energy-efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Projects and References

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.

Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg - Germany

In January 2017, the Elbphilharmonie (or Elbe Philharmonic Hall) was officially opened after about ten years of construction work. Its unique glass facade, which plays on visual associations with sails and ocean waves, has already established itself as a new landmark of the Hanseatic City of Hamburg. Inside the Elbphilharmonie‚ main concert hall, specially-designed and individually-carved wall and ceiling elements provide incredibly precise sound diffusion and perfect acoustics.

The main hall has 2,100 seats in total, and each seat is individually supplied with fresh air. Condair DL hybrid humidifiers ensure comfort for visitors and optimal acoustic conditions for the orchestra.
