No fewer than 166 AIRSTAGE® systems, consisting of 496
outdoor units and 2,142 indoor units, are now up and running
in this major development and were successfully in place in
time for the grand opening.
The products were supplied from the FGCA Wuxi facility in
Jiangsu Province, which are both the production base for
Fujitsu multi air conditioning systems for buildings and the
company's sales base for the Chinese market. FGCA was
awarded the order for the supply and installation of
AIRSTAGE® to the World Trade Center Changzhou because of
its proven energy-saving performance, past sales record and
reputation for high quality installations. The after-sales
service setup, with its quick follow-up, was also a
significant reason for the contract being offered to the
company.
"The AIRSTAGE® systems we supplied to the World Trade
Centre can individually adjust temperature for all of the
450 rooms in the building to provide a comfortable
environment. Also, by adopting the centralised control
system, collective centralised control of all outdoor units
and indoor units is also possible, which can optimise the
air conditioning of the whole building and reduce the
consumption of electricity," says a Fujitsu spokesman.
China is the world's biggest market for multi air
conditioning system for commercial buildings, accounting for
132,000 sets (around 33 per cent of the world market in
2008). The Chinese market looks set to expand even further
as building construction takes off at high speed because of
the continuing development of urban areas.
The next two years have been designated by the Chinese
government as a period of economic stimulation and public
capital investment. This investment is forecast to boost the
market expansion of multi air conditioning system for
buildings. In China, improved quality of life supported by
high economic growth has resulted in higher demand for air
conditioners which offer both comfort and energy-saving
performance in a climate in which environmental issues and
electricity shortage are increasing concerns.
Fujitsu has been developing large and small inverter air
conditioners excelling in energy-saving performance and
comfort which are already proving extremely popular in the
Chinese market.
