The HIMPEL ventilation system analyses the quality of the room air in real time and automatically adjusts the fan speed to the respective conditions. It features a three-stage filter system with a pre-filter, a HEPA filter and an activated carbon filter, as well as a UV module so that it can clean and sterilise the air at the same time. The housing of this system is made of foamed plastic which prevents condensation and reduces noise. The filters are easily accessible and can be replaced quickly. The jury praised the “well-thought-out functionality” and highlighted the “discreet design and colour scheme,” which allows the system to blend in well with its surroundings.
