The global HVAC system market size is anticipated to reach USD 277 billion by 2025. Major factors driving the market include the demand for energy-efficient solutions and the growing trend for smart homes. Furthermore, demand for HVAC products is increasing owing to the rising temperature due to global warming, the boom in the construction sector in the Middle East region, changing lifestyle, increasing disposable income, and rising expenditure by consumers on comfort solutions are also other factors that help in driving the growth of this sector.
The Indian HVAC market is one of the fastest growing markets in the world with a CAGR of almost 12 percent. The increase in high rise buildings and growing construction business are driving the growth of this market. “Like any other market in the world, Indian customers are also highly sensitive towards Price. However, we are seeing a distinct shift in the customer approach over the past few years.
Apart from the price, Indian customers are now even becoming quality conscious and they are willing to pay a little premium for good quality products," says Akash Agarwal, Managing Director, Greenheck India.
When Greenheck entered the Indian market, a very small percentage of the Indian ventilation market was for the third-party certified products. The Greenheck India team invested a huge amount of time in educating and training the Indian customers and the design engineers about the importance of third-party certified products and the large market size in the organized sector now prefer to buy a third-party certified product. The advantage the customer gets by buying these products is peace of mind as they are assured of the performance of these products. Greenheck stands at the very top in terms of offering third-party certified products.

The Indian Ventilation market is very fragmented with no clear market leader. Greenheck sees this as an opportunity to increase its market share by consolidating the market. Therefore, to achieve this, the company not only has to increase its market penetration but also its product offerings. Greenheck India has certain initiatives in place to address both of these action points. Not just that, in the last 6 months, despite all the challenges, the company has introduced many new products from the Indian plant offerings and is in the process of adding many more products during the next 3 months. This will help Greenheck India’s sales team to address the requirement of new market segments.

Generally, the challenges faced in various projects are firstly, the supply of exhaust air from basements for normal ventilation and exhaust smoke and supply fresh air in case of a fire situation. Secondly, the use of AMCA – licensed ventilation equipment and CE certified fans for high temperatures to ensure reliable operation. Lastly, supply pressurization fans for stairs, lift well, lift lobby and services areas, and also installation of fans with low sound levels to ensure quiet operation in the high-rise building environment.
Premium developers always look for certified and qualified ventilation fans to be installed throughout the buildings and underground car parks. Also, fans with lower power consumption are must to reduce electrical costs. The quiet, reliable operation is also a major concern to ensure that occupants receive an enjoyable living experience in a relaxed and peaceful environment. Greenheck understands and abides by the aforementioned requirements and works towards providing a solution that meet these needs.
From its inception, Greenheck India has supplied high Performance, high-efficiency vane axial fans in the basement, lifts, lobby, staircase, plant room, Diesel Generator (DG) room, Stair Case Pressurization (STPR) area, and other service areas for normal supply/ exhaust and emergency supply/exhaust. These fans not only help in supplying fresh air for normal ventilation but also exhaust smoke in case of a fire emergency in the underground parking areas. The Greenheck vane axial fans are licensed by AMCA for sound and air performance and CE certified for high temperature per EN-121101-3:2015.
Greenheck Model RA & RA 3 Series fans are direct drive axial fans designed for inline air ventilation in commercial, high-rise residential, institutional or industrial buildings. Model RA and RA 3 Series are designed to significantly reduce operating costs with peak total efficiency up to 86 percent. The unique airfoil blade design on axial fans also offers lower sound levels than other axial fans.
Each Model fan is tested at the factory before it is shipped and Motor amp, speed, and voltage measurements are reviewed to ensure proper performance. The mechanical vibration test carried out by Greenheck ensures quiet operation.
