Service

roda as your reliable partner

We at roda Licht- und Lufttechnik GmbH are certified by VdS as a manufacturer and installer of SHEV systems. We are experts in smoke and heat exhaust ventilation in skylight renovation and retrofit smoke and heat exhaust ventilation and ventilation solutions. As a full-service provider, we accompany you from planning to safe acceptance. We service all SHEV systems irrespective of the system manufacturer.  

Planning

Benefit from 35 years of experience

From the vision to guidelines and requirements to implementation, it is often a difficult path that involves a lot of effort. When planning a simple warehouse, the concept may still be quite manageable. Using common formulas, the hall can be divided into required smoke compartment areas and important measures such as smoke curtains and SHEV systems can be determined in the corresponding number of units. 
The situation is quite different, however, when it comes to planning the electroplating shop of a metal processor, for example. There, toxic gases have to be discharged quickly and especially the daily ventilation of the hall has a much higher priority. The situation is similar in the food industry. Special hygiene regulations are paramount and must be integrated into building concepts from the very beginning.  

Our 35 years of experience cover power plants and foundries, where enormous exhaust air temperatures have to be reduced, to all industries and cinemas and theatres, where sound insulation plays a crucial role. 
With this experience, we are already available to advise you in the planning phase in order to work out a problem-oriented solution with you. For existing buildings, we secure the solution concept through an inspection and, if necessary, measurements on site. We support you in the design of the respective systems and in the calculation of the required sizes to comply with the required standards, guidelines and specifications. Once the solution concept is in place, we implement it for you. 

Installation

Certified specialist personnel for proper installation

For optimal results, however, not only professional planning is important, but also expert installation of the units. This is because proper installation by certified specialist personnel is absolutely essential to ensure that the units continue to function perfectly for years to come. Our professionals will of course take care of the installation of your appliances so that you, the customer, acquire a perfectly functioning unit. 
After completion, you will also receive an acceptance certificate, which certifies that the installation has been carried out properly and that the system is functional and safe to operate.  

We comply with the required guidelines VdS 2098 and DIN 18232-2 (dimensioning, requirement & installation). roda is a VdS-approved designer and a member of the Gütegemeinschaft Rauch- und Wärmeabzugsanlagen e.V. (Quality Association for Smoke and Heat Exhaust Ventilation Systems) with the authorisation to carry the “RAL Quality Mark Assembly and Maintenance”.  

Maintenance

Manufacturer-independent maintenance for long life cycle

Safety requires trust. So it's good to have a competent partner like roda by your side. We want to be your partner throughout the entire life cycle of your building, saving you time, red tape and money. We offer you manufacturer-independent maintenance and, at the same time, guarantee repair with original spare parts if necessary. You get everything from a single source. 

Why regular maintenance is so important: :
  • Longer life for the unit 
  • Compliance with legal requirements 
  • Insurance cover remains in force in the event of a fire 
  • Reduction in repair and monitoring efforts 

We document and guarantee the functionality of your SHEV systems in our maintenance protocols. But false activations can also quickly cause considerable damage, for example in the event of rain. Our well-developed network of technicians guarantees that we can be at your site quickly in emergencies. 

We provide qualified maintenance for the following product groups, independent of the manufacturer: 

  • SHEV systems 
  • Smoke curtains 
  • Hold-open systems 
How we service 

Our trained and certified professionals service with the help of our detailed checklists, which are adapted to the individual circumstances of each property. We examine all components of the SHEVS, trigger the systems on a trial basis and check all alarm boxes and control centres. Defective parts are replaced with original parts and defects are expertly repaired. The maintenance log serves as a documentation tool for authorities and insurance companies. The maintenance carried out on the control boxes is documented by means of an inspection sticker. 

    Key maintenance items: 

    • Examination of the overall system for modifications performed by the operator 
    • Testing of electrical wiring and accumulators 
    • Inspection of CO2 cartridge filling levels 
    • Checking of moving parts, such as plungers on pneumatic cylinders 
    • Checking the controls 
    • Triggering of the SHEVS via the energy available in an emergency (but not in the case of self-destructing or partially self-destructing systems, e.g. pyrotechnics) 
    • Entry of all results and measures in the inspection book 

    Renovation

    Optimised advantages through repair

    In addition to poor appearance, defective units, static problems as well as weather and water damage, the increasing CO2 concentration in our atmosphere is a particularly drastic reason for an energetic renovation. Roda offers renovation solutions for all tasks. Our specialist engineers take your problem on site and work out a made-to-order solution for you. We offer you renovation concepts for: 

    • Skylight systems 
    • Ventilation systems 
    • SHEV systems 
    • Façade systems 
    • Shed roof constructions 

    Renovation is worthwhile 

    Strict environmental regulations and ordinances, such as the snow load ordinance, but also rising energy prices make the renovation of existing facilities primarily an economic requirement. 

    You profit: 

    • Significant heating cost savings due to better insulation values 
    • Better ventilation 
    • Optimised lighting conditions at the workplace  
    • Statutory funding programmes for energy-efficient renovation  

    In this way, renovation not only reduces operating costs, but also increases the productivity of the people in the building. In addition, a lot of money can be saved during renovation if you integrate existing building parts into the renovation concept. For example, they can continue to be used as load-bearing elements in the renovation of skylights. 
    Simply replacing old wired glass glazing with polycarbonate multi-wall panels significantly reduces operating costs. In addition, the lower weight also relieves the strain on the statics, which thus fulfils the new and stricter requirements of the building legislation.
