Case Study: FreshAirManager achieves demand-driven Fresh Air-as-a-Service and up to 40% energy savings with SAP HANA

The “FreshAirManager” – Providing Clean Air for a better future through SAP BTP

actoVent GmbH, a small German HVAC specialist, developed the FreshAirManager to address systemic industry challenges: static plant designs that ignore changing space use, time‑based maintenance instead of demand‑driven service, high energy and filter consumption, and a growing shortage of skilled labor — all while indoor air quality remains largely invisible to stakeholders. The company’s goal was to transform HVAC from contract‑driven silos into a human‑centered, data‑driven service that makes air quality visible and actionable.

FreshAirManager is an SAP BTP‑hosted, event‑driven platform that orchestrates stakeholders, IoT sensors and service providers to deliver “Fresh Air as a Service.” The solution enables demand‑based control, automated maintenance logistics and analytics, delivering sustainability and cost benefits — proven in the Mobiliar Arena pilot (≈€3,000 investment, ~20% initial energy savings) and scaling to over 1,000 managed systems with potential energy reductions up to 40%, lower filter and labor use, improved wellbeing, and CO2 savings.
