Michael Hims elected Vice-Chairman of Eurovent PG-CUR

The Eurovent Product Group ‘Air Curtains’ (PG-CUR) has elected FETA member Michael Hims (Carver) as its new Vice-Chairman. The election took place during the Product Group meeting at the 2022 Eurovent Summit in Antalya, Türkiye. Carsten Dittmar, Commercial Product Area Director at Systemair, was elected as the new Chairman. 

As European NPD Manager at Carver Climate Systems, Michael has obtained experience in developing standards at international and national level for fans and air curtains development. 

Speaking in his new role as Vice-Chairman, Michael stated: “Air curtains are a great simple product that building owners can use to save energy, reduce costs and improve IAQ. As with most HVAC products however, the wrong selection can to suboptimal performance. I thank the Eurovent members for giving me the opportunity to working with Carsten and the wider Eurovent community on standardising how we test the products in the design stage, help promote their correct selection and application, and on a broader level, raise their profile and the benefits they bring within the industry.”

The Eurovent Product Group ‘Air Curtains’ (PG-CUR) is the only dedicated committee on air curtain technologies within the EMEA region and it covers air curtain units for commercial, industrial and cold storage purposes (over-door heaters are out of the scope). It is the largest group of air curtain unit manufacturers worldwide and is supported by Eurovent Member Associations on a national level.
