Booth Highlights · Seminar · Panel Discussion ·

Built Environment Xpo (BEX) Asia is the epicentre of Southeast Asia’s built environment trade. It is designed to inspire and educate architects, contractors, developers, property owners, facility managers and other buyers and specifiers in the built environment. In 2024, BEX Asia will focus on innovation, digitalisation and sustainability, showcasing solutions from various categories such as MEP (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing), HVAC & Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), Digitalisation and more.


Booth highlights this year...

This year, ebm‑papst is leading air technology into a new era with energy-efficient ventilation solutions enhanced by our digital ecosystem, NEXAIRA.

When paired together, these innovations reduce energy consumption from the outset and unlock additional benefits such as predictive maintenance, intelligent control, and continuous performance optimisation.

As illustrated in the infographic, these solutions are well-suited for commercial buildings and data centres. For applications such as air handling units (AHUs), make-up air units (MAUs), and computer room air conditioning (CRAC) units, we’re spotlighting two featured options:

The RadiPac series is a flagship product range from ebm‑papst, known for its high efficiency, durability, and quiet operation. With the addition of integrated Active Power Factor Correction (PFC), the power factor is improved closer to 1.0, ensuring the fan draws power more efficiently—reducing energy consumption and harmonics.

In advanced EC fan models with integrated aPFC, <5% Total Harmonic Distortion (THDI) can be achieved even at just 10% of power draw, with no need for on-site adjustments. By smoothing voltage and current distortions, Active PFC ensures a stable power supply, reducing electrical noise, overheating, and wear on equipment. Over time, this extends the lifespan of electrical components, while also lowering maintenance, utility, and operating costs.

Previously, we featured RadiPac C, where the impeller is made of composite material. Now, we’re expanding our collection to include the RadiPac M, where the backward curved impellers is made of metal. We have now integrated this metal impeller with our latest generation of EC motors, providing even more options to HVAC application manufacturers and enabling them to meet industry regulations.

For fan coil units (FCUs) in commercial buildings, we offer:

These EC fans deliver superior efficiency and lower noise levels than traditional DC or AC fans, with reduced maintenance needs. Their easy integration with BMS and IoT systems makes them ideal for energy-conscious and connected building operations.

Introducing NEXAIRA – Our Digital Ecosystem

Our fan systems can be optimised further with NEXAIRA, our newly launched digital ecosystem. NEXAIRA fine-tunes fan performance by analysing real-time system data and adjusting operation based on demand—whether in new installations or retrofit projects.

When paired with highly efficient EC fans, digital control can reduce fan energy use by up to 80%, while improving system reliability, occupant comfort, and lifecycle performance through continuous monitoring and intelligent control.

ebm‑papst has developed a dedicated solution for data center operators and large-scale cooling solutions that significantly reduce energy consumption across the entire cooling circuit. Using digital twin technology built up by the existing BMS data, all cooling processes are modeled in real-time to determine the most efficient operating parameters. Through adaptive control, energy savings of up to 50% can be achieved throughout the cooling process without any hardware changes. Beyond cost reduction, this solution plays a key role in meeting sustainability targets and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. The on-premises setup guarantees the highest level of data security, while an integrated alerting system detects potential issues early, allowing for proactive countermeasures. Additionally, this advanced technology can be applied to other refrigeration systems, further expanding its benefits.

We look forward to engaging with built environment professionals across the region and exploring how these next-generation technologies can help shape smarter, more sustainable buildings.

Seminar

Revolutionising HVAC with
the Next Era of EC Technology

Location: BEX Asia Event Square
Date: Thursday, 4th September
Time: 11:30am - 11:50am

Sypnosis

This topic explores the future of HVAC, powered by the next era of EC technology — advancing energy optimisation in buildings and accelerating decarbonisation efforts.

As the global push for low-carbon, energy-efficient buildings intensifies, the HVAC industry is undergoing a major transformation. In this presentation, we will explore how the next era of EC (Electronically Commutated) technology, combined with AI, IoT, and digital services through the NEXAIRA Digital Ecosystem, is redefining system performance, intelligence, and sustainability.

By integrating these technologies, HVAC systems are evolving into intelligent ecosystems that don’t just react — they anticipate, optimise, and drive measurable impact. Join us as we explore how these innovations support the transition to high-performance, low-carbon buildings.
