Pre-engineered and pre-wired at the factory
AIR-BALANCE is HUBER & RANNER’s factory-integrated control platform for air handling units.
Pre-engineered and pre-wired at the factory, AIR-BALANCE dramatically reduces on-site installation and commissioning time.
The result is faster project delivery, lower installation risk and seamless integration into modern building automation systems.
In building climate control, the real and the digital world are converging fast. As an air handling unit manufacturer, we don’t treat digitalization as an add-on — we build it into the system from the start.
HUBER & RANNER is your digital partner for sustainability and efficiency. AIR-BALANCE accelerates the digital transformation of building automation and enables a smarter, greener future — powered by clean air and reliable data.
“Digitalization allows us to unlock the full efficiency potential of air handling units and systems — and to operate them far more energy-efficiently,” says Dietmar Huber.
This creates a seamless digital data flow across the entire lifecycle: from implementation and commissioning to operation, monitoring and maintenance.
Integration and connectivity made easy: AIR-BALANCE i-connect
- Pre-configured control software
- Online software updates
- Remote commissioning (online)
- Worldwide access to your plant — anytime
- Analytics and trending tools
- GSM / LAN / WLAN connectivity
- Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitoring
- Intelligent building automation can reduce the energy consumption of buildings by up to 30% and shorten the running times of technical systems, which in turn reduces maintenance costs.
THE ADVANTAGES ARE CLEAR
Wherever you are, AIR-BALANCE gives you full visibility and control across all locations where your systems operate. One dashboard for multiple sites. Monitor performance, alarms and maintenance — when and where you want.
If desired, you receive regular updates. During operation you can fine-tune modes, monitoring and trending — reducing runtime errors and improving efficiency. AIR-BALANCE is your gateway to predictive maintenance for air handling and ventilation systems.
OPTIMISED CONTROL FOR SMART BUILDINGS
AIR-BALANCE ensures optimal operating conditions for HUBER & RANNER air handling units and enables high levels of comfort, efficiency and reliability in modern smart buildings.

ENERGY-EFFICIENT CONTROL
Reliable ventilation and climate control require more than hardware — they require intelligence. Discover what today’s digital transformation means for the next generation of air handling units and smart fresh-air supply in buildings.
THE CONTROL & AUTOMATION SOLUTION
Smart buildings have been a reality for years — now HUBER & RANNER air handling units become truly intelligent. Because we design, engineer and build the AHU, we hold the know-how advantage. AIR-BALANCE is the perfectly matched software for precisely engineered hardware.
CONNECTIVITY MADE SIMPLE
We focused on the latest technologies and effortless handling — enabling faster, more efficient installation and commissioning. Factory-wired connections and coded plugs ensure fail-safe assembly. Only the remaining interfaces need to be connected — clearly guided and confusion-proof.
REMOTE COMMUNICATION: i-connect
Via the integrated Ethernet interface, the communication module connects your AIR-BALANCE controller to the internet. You can operate the system remotely, receive alarms and status data, and configure parameters via secure remote access — all monitored and managed through i-connect.
FULL VISIBILITY — ANYTIME, ANYWHERE
No matter where you are, AIR-BALANCE supports all system functions across every location where it is deployed. Multiple sites in one overview. Monitor operation and maintenance exactly when and where you need it.
THE AIR-BALANCE HUB — A TRUE DIFFERENTIATOR
Pre-assembled, factory-prepared cabling is included. Color-coded and system-coded plugs and sockets make installation possible without specialist knowledge. Only two cables connect the hub to the control cabinet — allowing the system to be operational within minutes after installation.
KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING IN YOUR SYSTEM
Control and monitor your entire ventilation system centrally — worldwide. From the operating unit in the control cabinet and digital interfaces all the way to full building integration. Browser-based operation makes it even easier for operators. One source, tailored to your requirements.
