SHEV systems in new builds

We accompany your project from early design through to handover. Sizing calculation, tender text, supply, installation and instruction — code-compliant per DIN 18232 and EN 12101, with full documentation for handover and subsequent operation.

↳ Approach

How a new-build SHEV project runs.

In a new build, the economics of a SHEV are decided early — often before the roof structure stands. The earlier we are involved in planning, the better opening areas, device position, control cable routing and supply-air following can be coordinated with the building structure, roof drainage and building services. We work along the HOAI service phases: phases 2 / 3 bring advice and sizing calculation, phase 5 detailed planning, phase 6 tender text and bill of quantities, phase 8 supply, installation, commissioning and handover. Sizing basis is DIN 18232-2 (natural) or -5 (powered) with object-specific geometry and assumed fire load. The result is the required aerodynamic effective area, from which number, size and layout of the NSHEV follow. For PSHEV we calculate the required volumetric flow, the air ducting and the fan temperature class. Handover takes place together with the fire safety expert or the inspection expert under PrüfVO NRW — with functional evidence of all components.

↳ Scope of work

What we deliver on a new build.

01

Sizing calculation

Aerodynamic effective area, volumetric flow, supply-air concept — as evidence for building approval.

02

Execution drawings

Positioning, cable routes, control panel, detector and manual call point planning.

03

Tender text

Bill of quantities per VOB/C or as functional tender.

04

Device supply

CE- and EN 12101-compliant, with Declaration of Performance and approval evidence.

05

Installation & wiring

Installation by certified fitters, incl. control cables and panel.

06

Handover & instruction

Functional test, protocol, operator briefing, documentation.

↳ Project flow

Six phases to a handed-over system.

Each phase with clear milestones — no schedule surprises and no cost blocks in change orders.

  1. ↳ 01

    1 — Feasibility

    Site inspection, occupancy, fire protection concept, initial feasibility.

  2. ↳ 02

    2 — Sizing

    Calculation per DIN 18232 with device proposal and variant comparison.

  3. ↳ 03

    3 — Detailed planning

    Layout plans, cable routes, interfaces to facade, roof, electrical.

  4. ↳ 04

    4 — Delivery

    Just-in-time to site, interim storage by arrangement.

  5. ↳ 05

    5 — Installation

    Assembly, wiring, commissioning — coordinated with construction progress.

  6. ↳ 06

    6 — Handover

    Inspection with expert, operator briefing, handover of documentation.

↳ Typical projects

Where we plan and install.

01

Logistics halls

Rooflight-band NSHEV across the hall length, coordinated with high-bay racking and fire compartments.

02

Production buildings

NSHEV plus powered extraction in fire-load-intensive areas.

03

Office and administrative buildings

Stairwell SHEV, atrium extraction, possibly pressurised smoke protection.

04

Retail and assembly venues

Ceiling outlet, supply air via facade, smoke curtains for containment.

05

Underground garages

Powered CO ventilation plus extraction per Garage Ordinance.

06

Schools and kindergartens

Stairwell extraction, SHEV via rooflight dome, smoke detectors with FDA linkage.

↳ Investment

What a new-build SHEV project costs.

Planning and sizing are between 3 % and 5 % of the system cost. Price is driven by the aerodynamic effective area — the larger and more complex the device count, the higher the total.

  1. from €4,500
    Stairwell SHEV (residential/office)
    Motorised roof hood, control panel, smoke detectors, manual call points.
  2. from €18,000
    NSHEV mid-size hall (500–1,500 m²)
    Several rooflight domes, control panel, supply air via doors.
  3. from €45,000
    NSHEV logistics hall (3,000–10,000 m²)
    Rooflight-band NSHEV, redundant panel, FDA linkage.
  4. from €80,000
    PSHEV underground garage / production
    F200/F300 fans, duct network, control.

Prices are indicative without planning fees and VAT. Binding after sizing calculation and detailed planning.

↳ Why Abels

One trade, one responsible party.

01 / 4

Planning and execution

Sizing, installation, handover — no interface between planner and contractor.

02 / 4

HOAI-compatible

We plug into HOAI service phases 2 to 8 — clean invoicing, clean documentation.

03 / 4

Manufacturer-independent

We select the system that fits technically — not the one that maximises our margin.

04 / 4

Handover support

With an inspection expert under PrüfVO NRW — up to signature on the handover protocol.
