A PRESCRIPTION FOR EFFICIENT BUILDING MANAGEMENT IN HOSPITALS |
 |

For hospital managers, topics such as cost and energy efficiency are becoming increasingly important. Intelligent building system technology from Merten is just what the doctor ordered. No matter if the problems diagnosed are to do with lighting, blinds, heating and air conditioning or building management, or if the building in question is being newly built or just modernised.
Examples chosen to reflect actual scenarios show you how Merten can help make your hospital more secure, more comfortable, more flexible and more convenient.

CLEVER SOLUTIONS FOR BUILDING SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY IN SCHOOLS |
 |
 |
| |
Running a school building requires careful planning and investment, but that's not all - energy efficiency is enormously important as well. Wouldn’t it be nice if some things would run automatically in the future? Whether it be lighting, blinds, heating or building management. Whether the building is being newly built, or modernised.
Examples chosen to reflect actual scenarios show you how Merten can help make schooldays more secure, more comfortable, more flexible and more efficient.

ARGUS SMOKE DETECTORS AND MOVEMENT DETECTORS - THE NEW BROCHURES |
 |
 |
| |
ARGUS movement detector - Safety and security in the best possible shape
The desire for increased security and comfort at home is becoming more and more apparent. Particularly when it gets dark. So it's reassuring to know that the ARGUS movement detector from Merten brings light into darkness. ARGUS movement detectors are available for both outdoor and indoor areas. The advantages and functions each offer are described in the new movement detectors brochure.

ARGUS smoke detector system - a lifesaver
Every room should have one: the ARGUS smoke detector Again and again, the dangers posed by fires in buildings are underestimated. The most frequent cause of death is smoke inhalation. When you are asleep, you can't smell the smoke. For your peace of mind, therefore, it's good to know that, in case of a fire in your home, the ARGUS smoke detector will trigger an alarm tone when even a minuscule amount of smoke particles are detected in the air. This means you have plenty of time to get out of the building before it's too late.
When it comes to safety solutions, technology is everything. All components of the ARGUS smoke detector system are highly developed and are VdS-certified, because there can be no compromises where your safety is concerned. The most important features and benefits offered by the ARGUS smoke detector system are described in the new smoke detector brochure.
