Pre-engineered and pre-wired at the factory
AIR-BALANCE is the factory-integrated control platform developed by HUBER & RANNER specifically for air handling units.
Pre-engineered, pre-programmed and pre-wired at the factory, AIR-BALANCE is designed to substantially reduce on-site installation and commissioning effort.
The result: faster project delivery, fewer installation interfaces and efficient integration into modern building automation systems.
In building climate control, hardware and digital intelligence are becoming one. As an air handling unit manufacturer, HUBER & RANNER does not add control technology as an afterthought — we integrate it into the system from the very beginning.
HUBER & RANNER combines air handling expertise with intelligent automation. AIR-BALANCE connects control, monitoring and operational data to unlock measurable efficiency potential throughout the system lifecycle.
“Digitalization gives us the tools to identify efficiency potential and operate air handling units more precisely in line with actual demand,” says Dietmar Huber.
From commissioning to operation and maintenance, AIR-BALANCE creates a continuous digital data flow — providing the transparency required for informed decisions and efficient system operation.
Integration and connectivity made easy: AIR-BALANCE i-connect
- Pre-configured control software
- Online software updates
- Remote commissioning
- Remote access to connected systems
- Powerful analytics and trending tools
- GSM, LAN and WLAN connectivity
- Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitoring
- Demand-based control designed to reduce unnecessary runtimes and avoidable energy consumption
CONTROL WITHOUT BOUNDARIES
One platform. Multiple systems. Full operational transparency. AIR-BALANCE brings operating data, alarms and maintenance information from connected locations together in a central dashboard — available wherever system access is required.
Monitoring and trending functions make operating behaviour visible, support precise system adjustments and help identify potential faults at an early stage. This creates a strong foundation for condition-based maintenance and the transition towards predictive maintenance.
OPTIMISED CONTROL FOR SMART BUILDINGS
AIR-BALANCE brings out the potential of HUBER & RANNER air handling units. Demand-based control supports efficient operation, reliable system performance and consistently high indoor comfort.
Functions include:
- Indoor Air Quality control with CO₂ monitoring
- Supply and exhaust air temperature control
- Room humidity control, including humidifier management
- Free cooling strategies
- Frost protection and cool-down protection
- Intelligent system start-up using the “Boost” function
- Optional external TCP/IP touch panel
PLUG-AND-PLAY COMMISSIONING
AIR-BALANCE is pre-engineered and factory-integrated into the air handling unit. Pre-wired connections, coordinated components and pre-configured control functions substantially reduce the work required on site.
The system arrives ready for connection — supporting faster commissioning, fewer interfaces and a smooth transition from installation to operation.
Key advantages include:
- Substantially reduced installation effort on site
- Plug-and-play commissioning
- Faster project completion
- Reduced risk of wiring and installation errors
- Coordinated components and open DDC programmes
- Simplified planning and building automation integration

AIR-BALANCE — ALWAYS IN CONTROL.
ENERGY-EFFICIENT CONTROL
Reliable ventilation and climate control require more than powerful hardware — they require intelligence. AIR-BALANCE combines air handling expertise, digital control and operating data to support demand-based, energy-efficient system operation.
ONE SYSTEM. ONE CONTROL STRATEGY.
HUBER & RANNER designs, engineers and manufactures the air handling unit — and develops the control solution around the same system expertise. AIR-BALANCE brings hardware and software together as one coordinated solution.
CONNECTIVITY MADE SIMPLE
Modern control technology and intuitive operation support fast installation and commissioning. Factory-wired connections and coded plugs simplify assembly and help prevent connection errors. Clearly defined interfaces make the remaining on-site work straightforward and efficient.
REMOTE COMMUNICATION: i-connect
The integrated Ethernet interface connects the AIR-BALANCE controller to the network. Depending on the system configuration, operators can access operating data remotely, receive alarms and status information, adjust authorised parameters and monitor connected systems through i-connect.
FULL VISIBILITY — ANYTIME, ANYWHERE
AIR-BALANCE provides central access to connected air handling systems across multiple locations. Operating data, alarms and maintenance information come together in one overview — giving operators the transparency they need to manage system performance efficiently.
THE AIR-BALANCE HUB — BUILT FOR FAST INSTALLATION
Pre-assembled, factory-prepared cabling is included. Colour-coded and system-coded plugs and sockets reduce wiring complexity and make the connections clear and straightforward. With only two cables between the hub and the control cabinet, the system can be prepared for operation within a very short time after installation and completion of the required external connections.
KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING IN YOUR SYSTEM
Control and monitor connected ventilation systems centrally — from the operating unit in the control cabinet and digital interfaces through to building automation integration. Browser-based operation provides convenient access to the information and functions required for daily operation.
One source. One coordinated system. Engineered around your requirements.
