Regular ventilation is important both for our physical well-being and for building structures, especially where large numbers of people interact - for example in office buildings, as well as in nursing homes, schools, and kindergartens. Automated window ventilation systems reliably provide the necessary air exchange. However, it is important that windows always open and close automatically and reliably. Especially where people with special needs, such as children, are unable to assess the danger of a closing window and may easily become trapped and suffer serious injury. Often, the automatically closing window may not be within sight of the person who is operating the window via push button. Nevertheless, it must be ensured that the window does not pose any danger.

Parallel-opening windows

All-glass façades are true design highlights on large projects such as office complexes. As beautiful as these façades are, they can pose problems in terms of indoor climate regulation. Such regulation can be handled by ventilation systems or by natural ventilation. So-called parallel-opening vent windows allow window units, which are typically floor to ceiling and therefore very large and heavy, to be automated. Specialist components are required to fulfil unique needs. Especially if the windows need to seal tightly and lock reliably when closed.

Fresh air must be ensured in the building, even if there are only a few window solutions, in which case it is all the more important that the window reaches its maximum opening width for maximum ventilation performance. In public buildings such as offices or administrative buildings, reliable smoke and heat exhaust (RWA) in the event of a fire plays a major role alongside ventilation.
