Nuaire switches to recycled and renewable steel

Nuaire has announced that its Magnelis steel-based ventilations systems are now being made from XCarb recycled and renewably produced steel. This will result in a 64% reduction in CO2 emissions on these products within the first year alone, compared with the same steel manufactured via the conventional steelmaking route. Products to benefit from the transition to XCarb steel include Nuaire’s BPS air handling units and XBOXER XBC packaged heat recovery systems. 

Magnelis made with XCarb recycled and renewably produced steel has an embodied carbon footprint of just 0.898 tCO2e/t of material, which is considerably lower than the 2.51tCO2e/t of material of the steel previously used, meaning Nuaire’s ventilation systems manufactured with this innovative steel help reduce a building’s embodied carbon. 

Nuaire provides detailed TM65 datasheets on the majority of its products to show the embodied carbon of individual products, including a breakdown of the calculation from material extraction through to end of life disposal.
