繁體中文ebm-papst Supports Menred: Jointly Building Green Buildings
12/04/2025Carbon-neutral buildings are a key component in achieving climate neutrality goals, and Menred is actively promoting this process through diversified solutions, with ebm-papst playing a crucial role as a long-term partner. The results of their collaboration are prominently showcased in the "Migratory Bird Paradise" within Menred's Green Building Industrial Park on Lingkun Island, Wenzhou, China.
Menred Group's green building industrial park on Lingkun Island, Wenzhou, China, covers an area of over 60,000 square meters. The photovoltaic panels installed in the park reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 1,001,000 tons annually, and low-energy consumption technologies lay the foundation for achieving carbon neutrality. The "Migratory Bird Paradise" is located within this climate-neutral industrial park, serving not only as an experience space for company guests but also as a model of ultra-low-energy consumption building that aligns with Menred's mission of "innovating for carbon neutrality in buildings."
Since its establishment in 1995, Menred has consistently focused on the research and development and application of environmentally friendly products in the building sector, including air conditioning, heating, ventilation, water purification, and smart home systems. In the residential ventilation field, Menred and ebm-papst have collaborated for over a decade, injecting momentum into the development of green buildings through their shared pursuit of efficient and reliable ventilation systems.
Ventilation systems need to operate 24/7, 365 days a year, making efficiency and reliability core requirements. Fans, as key components, must meet the highest standards. This is a major reason why Menred and ebm-papst have maintained a long-term partnership; their technological synergy provides a guarantee for the stable operation of green buildings.
The "Migratory Bird Paradise," completed in 2017 on Lingkun Island, Wenzhou, China, features diverse functional areas, including guest rooms, lounges, meeting rooms, children's playrooms, and activity rooms. Different areas have varying climate and ventilation needs, but all must meet ultra-low-energy consumption standards while ensuring user comfort. This places extremely high demands on the ventilation and air conditioning systems.
Past building experience shows that ventilation and air conditioning systems account for approximately 70% of overall energy demand, indicating significant energy-saving potential. At the same time, the space utilization of the "Migratory Bird Paradise" is dynamic: changes in the number of occupants in guest rooms, activities in the children's playroom, and the demands of business meetings all require the heating, ventilation, dehumidification, and air purification systems to respond and adjust quickly.
To balance comfort and ultra-low energy consumption goals, the project team ultimately decided to use 13 ebm-papst fans in the "Migratory Bird Paradise," selecting suitable fan models based on the needs of different floors and rooms. During the selection process, energy efficiency, low noise (ensuring occupant comfort), and adjustable speed (to adapt to dynamic usage scenarios) were core considerations.
The "Migratory Bird Paradise" is equipped with Menred's independently developed MiBEE smart home system, which can control air conditioning, ventilation, and underfloor heating in real time. The system monitors indicators such as carbon dioxide concentration and moisture content in the air through sensors, optimizing indoor air quality based on data feedback to ensure occupant health and comfort. For example, the music room on the second floor, which is frequently used, is equipped with a ceiling ventilation system with temperature control, which automatically adjusts cooling and heating based on the number of people in the room. The four centrifugal fans responsible for efficient suction and supply of air with low noise operation, as well as the integrated heat pump used for heating and ventilation, all demonstrate ebm-papst's technological advantages.
On the third floor of the "Migratory Bird Paradise," Menred innovatively installed an integrated heat pump type fresh air environment control unit (referred to as "IEU"), which integrates air conditioning, air purification, and dehumidification functions. Each IEU unit is equipped with two ebm-papst centrifugal fans and one forward-curved centrifugal fan. Through the optimized combination of fans, the energy recovery rate of the equipment reaches 70% in cooling mode and is further increased to 78% in heating mode, far exceeding the ultra-low energy consumption building technology standards, becoming a new type of environmentally friendly solution in the residential building sector. Thanks to this technology, the annual energy consumption of the "Migratory Bird Paradise" fresh air unit is only 15 kWh/m², lower than the ultra-low energy consumption building standard.
Currently, the overall energy consumption of the "Migratory Bird Paradise" can be monitored in real time. Staff can not only view current energy consumption and equipment operating status through the control panel but also predict future data. This highly efficient technological solution, jointly developed by Menred and ebm-papst, is not limited to the "Migratory Bird Paradise" project alone. As this solution is implemented in more buildings, it will further reduce energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, contributing to the sustainable development of the global construction industry and the achievement of carbon neutrality goals.
