EDITORIAL
Dear TOSHIBA partner, At the beginning of this new financial year, I would like to pause for a moment, because the loss of a close person is always associated with great emotions. As you already know, our company founder DI Werner Hochegger passed away. Not only this loss was to be processed, but, many administrative steps were necessary in recent weeks. Now we start confidently into a new year and I would like to assure you with my words that everything will continue as usual. Mr. DI Werner Hochegger made provisions for this sad case years ago and I am honored that he has given me the confidence to follow his footsteps and to be able to continue the company, as in previous years. We look back on another record year in the history of Air-Cond. The course is already set for 2019 and together with my team, I am convinced that the successful development will continue. My vision for the future of the company is great, which means, among other things, a further development of the personnel. With this in mind, I wish you all the best for the coming season. Enjoy reading our latest edition of the World of Toshiba.
Your Jürgen Unterrainer

TOSHI BEAR When a loved person passes away, it gives the loved ones much comfort that the memories remain. The person lives on in the hearts of his children and grandchildren, his friends and loved ones. When a visionary passes away, not only will his visions be preserved, but what he created will continue to grow, and after his death the achievements will always remind people of who created and discovered them. Many great visionaries were unaware during their lifetime of the great ideas they had and how they influenced their industry, be it art or technology. We are very proud that we can continue the vision of DI Werner Hochegger, the passion with which we distribute TOSHIBA air conditioners and heat pumps and how we fully support you as part of our partner network will continue even after the sad loss of our founder. We started with grief, but full of drive and energy, in a new season. A splendid season with many new great products is waiting for us and you. A lot of activities in the areas of technics and marketing as well as one or the other new face in our team will accompany you into the season. We will selectively improve and enlarge our plan to further strengthen our service to you. One or the other event will convince you of a great product portfolio 2019, the personal contact with you is the key to success for us. A record season in 2018 is behind us, but the motivation to make 2019 even more successful is even greater. I wish you a great start into spring and good luck with TOSHIBA! Your TOSHI-Bear

DI Werner Hochegger Lord of a Castle, Japan Lover, Expert in Airconditioning and a Visionary DI Werner Ludwig Hochegger was born on 11th May 1940 in Graz in the zodiac sign Taurus. If you read about the characteristics of a Taurus, you will learn that he is persistent and strong-willed, has great taste for beautiful things and is a sensual aficionado. He lived in the truest sense as a taurus, always a bit with his head through the wall, which was probably also the reason for his successful and impactful life. In 1959 he began studying industrial engineering at the Technical University of Graz, which he successfully completed in 1965 with a diploma. After another academic year in Paris, he started his career as Sales Manager at Hutter & Schrantz AG in Vienna, where he got to know the export market of Yugoslavia and Hungary.
* 11.05.1940 06.12.2018
In 1971, he changed the industry and landed in air conditioning units, a product that did not let go of him. He entered the industry as Managing Partner of TVG, which at the time was the general distributor for Hitachi air conditioning units. In this position, he oriented southbound and sold the first business refrigeration systems to the former Yugoslavia.
In 1976 he dared the step into self-employment and founded the company AIR-COND. He became the general representative for TOSHIBA air conditioners and heat pumps in Austria. Thus he not only gained a leading global corporation as business partner, but through this business relationship he was able to follow intensely his great fascination for Japan, his passion for Japanese culture, food and people. From 1989, he gradually built up the Eastern European market and thus secured the general representation for another 10 countries. With tireless, personal commitment, great vision and determination, he has contributed significantly to the successful development of the company. On October 10, 2017, the 40 th anniversary of the company AIR-COND in the Seifenfabrik in Graz was celebrated and Werner Hochegger was honored by 330 customers, partners and friends from Europe and Asia. Another central area of activity, which he pursued with particular interest and passion, was the heat pump and the endeavor to give it the value it deserves. Today, a heat pump is known to almost everyone, but more than 35 years ago, only visionaries could imagine what would be possible with the heat pump principle recognized by Peter Ritter von Rittinger in 1856. Since 1980 Werner Hochegger has been seeking national and international popularity, research and development of the heat pump. He organized heat pump conferences from Graz to Orlando and founded the Ritter von Rittinger Award of the International Energy Agency in 1988. As a global pioneer in the field of heat pumps, DI Werner Hochegger has spent his life promoting energy efficiency in the use of new and innovative energy systems. As a global pioneer in the field of heat pumps, DI Werner Hochegger has spent his life promoting energy efficiency in the use of new and innovative energy systems. Backed by a successful AIR-COND, DI Werner Hochegger continues to give free reign to his visionary spirit and in 2005 acquired the Castle Rabenstein and became the new lord of the 12 th-century castle near Frohnleiten in Styria. Due to a unique revitalization and modernization, Castle Rabenstein today presents itself as a first class event center. At the same time, the castle is a showcase for the use of TOSHIBA heat pumps in a historic building as the entire building - more than 2,400 m2 - is heated with an air-to-air heat pump. With the construction of the Hochegger Keusche, a modern construction of steel and glass, which stands out directly from the ruins of the former castle, Hochegger creates a unique eye-catcher. At the same time, an energy-efficient house was built at the foot of the castle, which serves as an information and training center for air conditioners and heat pumps.

Due to the business relationship of AIR-COND with the global group TOSHIBA, DI Werner Hochegger had excellent relations with Japan. It was another great concern of him to make his lovingly collected compilation of unique and fascinating exhibits open to the public. His collection tells the story of the Japanese-Austrian friendship of the last 150 years and the mutual fascination for each other. Thus, the project „Japaneum“ was initiated, which welcomes the first visitors from the end of April 2019 - a project that aims to make a valuable contribution to international understanding and cultural exchange. We look back on a life of DI Werner Hochegger, in which he has achieved a lot. He was an honorary citizen of the Technical University of Graz and bearer of the Grand Decoration of Honor of the Province of Styria for science, research and art for services to secure a Styrian cultural heritage. He was a lateral thinker, a pioneer, an expert for airconditioning, but above all, he was a visionary of the heat pump. On December 6, 2018, DI Werner Hochegger passed away at the age of 79. We will always honor him. His life‘s work, the company AIR-COND, will be continued in his spirit and his name will continue to be inseparable from the history and success of AIR-COND! In thankful memory, Jürgen Unterrainer & Team AIR-COND
Japaneum The land of the rising sun stops by Castle Rabenstein Just in time for the 150th anniversary of the signing of the Austro-Japanese Friendship, Trade and Shipping Treaty in 1869, the Japaneum on Castle Rabenstein opens its doors on Friday, April 26, 2019. The Japaneum is based on the idea to show the Austro-Japanese euphoria for each other and the mutual influences on each other‘s culture. It should make a valuable contribution to intercultural education and international understanding and tolerance. During his lifetime, Mr. Werner Hochegger has collected an extraordinary collection of Japanese exhibits that, among other things, tell the story behind this mutual fascination. He had always been dreaming of giving his collection the frame that it deserves and above all to make it accessible to the public. To make his dream come true, at Rabenstein Castle, major renovations are taking place, and no expense or effort is spared to create and open on time the Japaneum in the spirit and vision of Mr. Hochegger. Sayonara – We look forward to welcoming you in the Japaneum!

SEIYA Toshiba SEIYA: Silent through the night. SEIYA is a cost-effective and silent solution that uses proven Toshiba inverter and compressor technology with R32, offering A++ performance and year-round comfort. Toshiba, a global leader in high efficiency, high performance air conditioning for commercial and domestic buildings, has announced SEIYA, its new generation air conditioning system for residential climate control applications. SEIYA, which means ‚silent night’ in Japanese, benefits from an innovative new inverter and compressor technology developed by TOSHIBA. It is designed to deliver high performance at an attractive price point, making everyday comfort a reality for all. Minimising vibration and noise, SEIYA offers energy efficient A++ cooling and A+ heating performance, with R32 refrigerants resulting in low global warming potential. From size 7 to size 16, all indoor units can also be combined with multi outdoor units.
READY
Innovative inverter technology Innovative rotary compressor technology created by Toshiba combines exemplary performance with outstanding reliability. Minimising fluctuations to ensure a constant temperature, this technology increases efficiency while reducing the risk of incidental noise. TOSHIBA’s inverter technology allows SEIYA to regulate heating and cooling capacity at all times by adjusting compressor speed to demand. Quiet comfort To reduce noise and improve comfort, SEIYA’s ‘Silent‘ function halves the sound level of the outdoor unit (reducing its sound level by 3dBA, down to 43dBA). This avoids disturbing neighbours, while the product’s ‘Quiet’ function reduces noise from the indoor unit by reducing fan speed to help ensure residents enjoy a good night’s sleep. Smart AC At home, the unit can be controlled via its infrared remote control – but it can also be controlled via an intuitive app from your smartphone or tablet. The Toshiba Home AC Control smart app allows you to take complete control and help manage energy consumption, at home and on the move. This means you can customise your comfort, finding the perfect cooling or heating level for your family at any time, no matter where you are. It gives easy access to air conditioning system controls whilst on the move. An ideal temperature can be enjoyed by simply using the app to check status, before adjusting settings to suit your comfort, from wherever you are.

Self-cleaning SEIYA is equipped with ‘Magic Coil’, which helps prevent water and dust from sticking to the coil, providing healthy, fresh air for longer. When the air conditioning is switched off to drain a contaminated coil, the fan continues to operate to keep the coil clean and dry, and to maintain the system’s high energy efficiency. In addition, TOSHIBA’s unique ‘On-demand Defrosting’ function ensures the unit can be used in even the most extreme winter conditions, clearing ice at the touch of the remote-control button.

SHORAI PREMIUM real added value in a new class
TOSHIBA introduces the upper middle class with new single split units for home use. SEIYA marks the low-cost entry-level range, SUZUMI is the proven „fits all“ device and DAISEIKAI has long stood for the fusion of efficiency, comfort & design - do we really want and need a new class? Yes, we want! SHORAI PREMIUM has a lot to offer that the end consumer could only expect in the expensive premier class. Let‘s just imagine that Lady SUZUMI and Sir DAISEIKAI had married and passed on their best qualities – The Junior is called SHORAI PREMIUM and offers a plasma filter, a weekly timer, whisper function for indoor and outdoor units, 8 °C defrost function and many comfort features. The whole thing with A++ energy efficiency and only about 10% more expensive than the middle class set!
Proven core values SHORAI PREMIUM contains all the core virtues of the SUZUMI system, including the range of services and connectivity: six sizes from 2.5 kW to 7.0 kW cooling capacity are available. With the exception of size 18, all indoor units can also be combined with multi outdoor units. All single sets from 5 kW cooling capacity use the silent and robust twin rotary compressor, TOSHIBA‘s in-house inverter control delivers exactly the right power for the load requirement - so that no watt of electrical energy is used up too much. The indoor units benefit from the 3D Airflow, which moves with independent horizontal and vertical movement of the louvers hot or cold air exactly where it is desired. The heat exchanger of the indoor unit is always kept clean and dry by a special coating in conjunction with the self-cleaning function after the end of the operation - no chance for the development of odors and bacteria.

Optimum air quality Clean indoor air is far more than luxury - recent studies assume that around 30% of all people suffer from allergies - the largest part of which is once again caused by respiratory diseases. The advantages of electric air filter technologies are undisputed and have been proven by many universities - even if reputable manufacturers such as TOSHIBA promise no miracles here about eliminating viruses and bacteria: the PURE filter technology used in the SHORAI PREMIUM contributes decisively to keep our indoor air healthy and free from harmful substances. WiFi Ready SHORAI PREMIUM is - as well as the complete current single split home generation from TOSHIBA - WiFi-ready. This means, a low-cost adapter allows convenient control of all functions & features of the indoor unit from your smartphone or tablet. Whether in heating or cooling mode: the TOSHIBA air conditioning system always follows the requirements of our “mobile” life at all times, combining lifestyle with energy savings.

Comfort Infrared remote control included As comfortable as the APP control is - sitting on the couch at home, connected with the mobile via social media with all the favorite people, there is only one perfect control for our climate comfort: a well-designed, appealing remote control, on which each function can be achieved intuitively and with the push of a button. SHORAI PREMIUM is delivered by default with such a remote control. In addition to the operating mode, temperature setting, air distribution or weekly timer, all TOSHIBA exclusive features are also available here: plasma filter, 8 °C frost protection, Fireplace mode, Eco mode, Comfort Sleep, Preset, Quiet function, Demand defrost and much more. Is the air conditioning running? No idea, I cannot hear anything! For indoor and outdoor units in standard cooling or heating mode: SHORAI PREMIUM is quiet! But it can be even more quiet: with the QUIET function for the indoor unit and the SILENCE function for the outdoor unit, the user decides at the touch of a button, where his priorities are: with optimum heating and cooling capacity, or minimal noise. The fans are thus set in ultra-low-speed whisper mode - especially in the outdoor unit, which brings a significant reduction of the sound pressure level by 3 to 4 dB (A). This corresponds to a perceived reduction of about 50% by the human ear!
READY
Plasma Filter Impurities such as bacteria, odor, smoke, dust, allergens and viruses are caught and deactivated by the ionizer.
The perfect balance … … between investment and comfort has a new name: SHORAI PREMIUM. A device generation that establishes the upper middle class - never before have so many premium class features been realized at the price of the standard class.

STRONG BRAND IDENTITY The fair season 2019 has begun! Despite our digital age, fairs are still one of the most important channels to bring our products closer to our customers. It is the optimal platform where exhibitors can increase their visibility and present their products to a wide audience. Furthermore, there is the possibility of direct communication with potential customers. Exhibitors can thus benefit from reaching their own target group directly. The fair season 2019 has now started again and some of our partners have already been actively involved in various trade fairs. At this time of the year across our sales area, the focus is on fairs concerning house construction. In the middle of January, among other things, the „Grazer Häuslbauermesse“ took place in Austria, where our partners Cool Company, E1 and exclusively the company Manfred Schmelzer exhibited TOSHIBA equipment and completed successful trade fair appearances. At the beginning of February the „Baumesse in Oberwart“ took place, where our parnter TWS had a booth and showed TOSHIBA and also the already „fair“-experienced company Kühlanlagen Postl exclusively presented TOSHIBA air conditioners and heat pumps. Our partner Bernhard Kinzl represented TOSHIBA in February at the „Bauen und Energie“ in Vienna. The previous feedback from our partners on their participation in the various fairs is more than positive. For all, their investment is quite lucrative, as they can use their participation as a tool for business initiation.

Likewise, abroad our partners are diligent. For example, the companies Nix and Vitanest are present on the DOM in Ljubljana. These fairs will take place in the coming weeks. These too are a meeting point for home-builders, expert audience, etc., who want to find out about current innovations and trends within the industry. Generally, it can be said that trade fairs are gaining in importance again and have a significance that should not be underestimated. We see great potential here, so Air-Cond will continue to promote this and provide financial as well as conceptual support. Eventually, it is also in our interest to present TOSHIBA‘s top products, ideally exclusively, to the immediate target group!

Technical Trainings 2019 In order to make our customers TOSHIBA-FIT for the new season, our technical training sessions are taking place in the energy-saving house 2 in Frohnleiten in February and March. With the completion of the three training modules RAS / RAV, VRF / Controls and ESTIA, interested technicians, sales people and company bosses are well equipped to start the new season. It is not only discussed theoretically, but above all worked on concrete examples or directly on the air conditioning unit itself. This way experiences can be exchanged and tricky problems can be solved together.
Since we had more registrations in Austria than ever before, a second appointment was arranged for the VRF / Controls module. This shows us that the interest in education is really great and our offer is gladly accepted, which assures us that our work is being appreciated. The training should not only be associated with „hard work“, therefore the participants have the opportunity to prove their play skills at a billiard tournament once per module series. If you have not been able to register for one of the training modules, we would like to remind you of our special training and take the opportunity to remind you of this option. Assuming a corresponding number of participants, we offer tailor-made individual training sessions talk to our sales team!
