Description

GEO-EKO is a manufacturer, installer and distributor of equipment for ventilation systems. We constantly strive to adapt our offer to the expectations of customers, as well as to improve the health and greening of society. Polish cities are among the most affected by smog in Europe. Under the project, we will develop a ventilation device to purify the air entering the premises from outside, to be installed in the window frame. With the tightly sealed windows now produced, and very limited natural air flow, the role of window trickle vents is becoming crucial.

The product will be offered to individual customers (residential buildings) and institutions (public buildings) which use gravity or mechanical ventilation systems, as well as to window manufacturers. It will use both HEPA and ULPA type filters.

The project covers: the construction of a production hall for an anti-smog window ventilator, the purchase of production line equipment, purchase of a ground heat exchanger preparation and recovery system and purchase and installation of photovoltaic panels, development of documentation, preparation of a model and a prototype of the ventilator, testing carried out by an R&D unit and purchase of a licence for a mobile application to manage the ventilator.

The implementation of the new product will reduce CO2 emissions in our company by 170.86 tons per year.

Summary of project results

The project concerned the diversification of the plant''s production by introducing new products with significantly improved features. Activities under the project were intended to contribute to the use of alternative energy sources and to reduce pollutant emissions. The biggest challenge of the project was to achieve product features that would meet the project assumptions. Due to the above, the challenge was to select the appropriate research unit that was to carry out research and analysis of new products.

The main area of activity of FHU Geo Eko Tomasz Bil is ventilation, air conditioning, filter ventilation, heating, central vacuum cleaning, and processes related to air treatment and treatment. The project therefore included the diversification of the plant''s production by introducing new products with significantly improved features.

The goals assumed in the project were achieved and had a positive impact on the Beneficiary''s activities. Thanks to the implementation of the project, the applicant established cooperation with the University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszow. Thanks to the above-mentioned cooperation, the beneficiary had the opportunity to establish new contacts and carry out the assumed scope of research work. Implementation of new knowledge in your business. New experiences will allow for the implementation of further projects of this type at FHU GEO EKO, and thus will allow for further development in the implementation of new products and the development of the company''s long-term business strategy. The implemented communication plan allowed the Beneficiary to establish new contacts, present the project product on a wider forum and resulted in gaining new knowledge in the company in the field of product marketing. It should be added that the implementation of the project itself allowed the company to acquire new knowledge and new skills in the field of project management, which also positively translates into the quality of management in the company and, in the long run, encourages the implementation of further projects. The implementation of the investment related to the purchase of a renewable energy installation, a heat preparation and recovery system on a ground exchanger - in the company building and other rooms allowed for the acquisition of real knowledge in the field of renewable energy sources, its economic benefits (reduction of energy costs) and environmental benefits - real reduction of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere. The implementation of this type of solutions also affects the Applicant''s business environment. The company is perceived as environmentally friendly, supporting the implementation of "green" solutions in its own company, but also offering modern, innovative solutions in its products that meet the expectations of the market and the environment

Thanks to the implementation of the project, the applicant established cooperation with a research and development unit . Thanks to the above-mentioned cooperation, the beneficiary had the opportunity to establish new contacts and carry out the assumed scope of research work. Implementation of new knowledge in your business. New experiences will allow the implementation of further projects of this type at FHU GEO EKO Tomasz Bil, and thus the implementation of new products and the development of the company''s longterm business strategy. The innovative aspect of the project will contribute to the increase of the company''s competitiveness. The implementation of the project also brings measurable economic benefits for the region. These benefits include primarily the creation of new and permanent jobs planned by the Applicant under the project. This also higher amounts of taxes resulting from the subject of activity to the offices Tax offices located in the province Podkarpackie. As a result of the project implementation, the Applicant will introduce a product to the market whose air purification functionality will meet the highest quality standards.The solar installation installed by the Applicant will also improve the condition of the natural environment installed on the roof of the production hall. The photovoltaic installation operates solely on the basis of a renewable energy source, i.e. solar radiation. This allows for coverage a significant part of the electricity demand. Photovoltaics is also a zero-emission system. This means that the installation does not produce harmful compounds or greenhouse gases. The use of solar energy therefore reduces the consumption of electricity supplied by the service provider energy.
