How It Works

About AHU Condition Reports

MaintainAway transforms traditional air handling units into smart, self-maintaining systems that deliver optimal indoor air quality with minimal operational expenditure.

By upgrading to IoT-enabled components including direct-drive EC fans, ultra-long life filters, automated monitoring systems, and UVGI coil cleaning technology, we eliminate the need for routine maintenance visits while improving energy efficiency.

This award-winning solution offers a third way between expensive replacement and inefficient like-for-like refurbishment.

Service Benefits

  • Reduced maintenance costs
  • Enhanced energy efficiency
  • Superior indoor air quality
  • Remote monitoring capabilities

Case Study

Case Study: Aston Martin Racing Team takes IAQ pole position with Spire Building Services

ARM Environments Case Study - Aston Martin amf1

Objectives

Build a new state-of-the-art, 15,000sqm HQ, across two floors, encompassing varied spaces enabling all aspects of Formula 1’s elite car design, cutting-edge R&D, top-of-the-line manufacturing equipment, efficient assembly, and high-tech testing. Good air quality for their employees, vehicles and visitors was specified as a key design criteria.

Solutions

Spire Building Services worked with both the M&E consultant and contractor to ensure air delivered into the space used the latest electronic air cleaning solutions. Fan coil bipolar ionisers unique to Spire significantly reduced TVOC’s & PM’s. To maximise good air quality whilst without sacrificing energy efficiency, Spire introduced UVC filters into the AHU’s to eliminate biofilm growth, keeping the heating & cooling coils clean for the fresh air to pass. This optimised effective coil transfer properties to the air, and continually saves AMR F1 money against regular coil cleaning.

Results

Healthy air for AMR’s people and technology:
AMR achieved their key design specification criteria with industry leading, future-proofed installation.

Reduced costs with optimal energy efficiency: And created a more sustainable model to save money and help the planet.

Reduced future facilities management burden: By minimising the need for manual coil checks, and regular replacements.

Challenges

  • Varied indoor usage requirements
  • High profile project
  • Industry focus on sustainability & wellbeing

In-person collaboration is often an essential requirement for highper forming teams. It was critical that worries about IAQ did not distract the Aston Martin Formula 1 team from their jobs” Their building has been fitted with the latest clean air systems, so they can concentrate on building a championship winning car.

MaintainAway FAQs

What makes MaintainAway different from standard maintenance?

MaintainAway replaces traditional maintenance-intensive components with smart IoT alternatives that require minimal attention. Components like belt-driven fans are replaced with direct-drive EC fans, while UVGI systems eliminate the need for manual cooling coil cleaning, dramatically reducing maintenance requirements.

Is MaintainAway suitable for my building?

MaintainAway is ideal for most commercial, educational, healthcare and industrial buildings with existing air handling units. The system is particularly valuable for buildings with varying occupancy levels, where demand-controlled ventilation can deliver significant energy savings alongside improved air quality.

How does MaintainAway improve indoor air quality?

MaintainAway enables demand-driven operation based on indoor air quality parameters rather than simple timeclocks. The smart system adjusts ventilation rates according to actual conditions, while high-efficiency filters and UVGI technology remove contaminants more effectively than traditional setups.
