Too dry air can cause dry throats, chapped lips and facilitates the spread of viruses. Is it time to re-evaluate the cost for the society of having buildings with too dry indoor air? - [Cooling & Heating](https://blog.swegon.com/en/tag/cooling-heating) - [Heat Pumps](https://blog.swegon.com/en/tag/heat-pumps) ### [Alessandro Pinato](https://blog.swegon.com/en/author/alessandro-pinato) ## [How heat pumps can save energy](https://blog.swegon.com/en/how-heat-pumps-can-save-energy) The energy efficiency of heat pumps can be more than three times higher than for electrical heater, boiler or a furnace. In addition to that, it does not need fossil fuels to produce energy and no air pollution is generated. Learn more about why heat pumps should be your first choice. - [Schools](https://blog.swegon.com/en/tag/schools) ### [Mikael Börjesson](https://blog.swegon.com/en/author/mikael-börjesson) ## [Would we let our kids skip breakfast before school?](https://blog.swegon.com/en/would-we-let-our-kids-skip-breakfast-before-school) We all want to make sure that our children get the best education but one thing we tend to forget is how important air quality, humidity levels and thermal comfort are for children’s learning capabilities. - [Room Units](https://blog.swegon.com/en/tag/room-units) ### [Åsa Norén-Lundh](https://blog.swegon.com/en/author/åsa-norén-lundh) ## [This is why induction is important for your indoor comfort](https://blog.swegon.com/en/this-why-induction-is-important-for-indoor-comfort) Imagine if you were forced to choose between a room that can’t be cooled in hot weather, or a room with a constant cold draught. You’d be hard-pressed to choose, right? Happily, you don’t have to. Thanks to the physical principle known as induction, there is the option of ventilating and heating or … - [Cooling & Heating](https://blog.swegon.com/en/tag/cooling-heating) ### [Fabio Polo](https://blog.swegon.com/en/author/fabio-polo) ## [How does a chiller work?](https://blog.swegon.com/en/how-does-a-chiller-work) The laws of thermodynamics tell us that heat will always move from hotter to colder areas. But the outside air, where the heat is to be dissipated, is often hotter than the air on the inside. How then, does a chiller work? - [Energy Efficiency](https://blog.swegon.com/en/tag/energy-efficiency) - [Cooling & Heating](https://blog.swegon.com/en/tag/cooling-heating) ### [Alessandro Pinato](https://blog.swegon.com/en/author/alessandro-pinato) ## [The advantages of a system approach](https://blog.swegon.com/en/the-advantages-of-the-system-approach) When you are planning an indoor climate ventilation, cooling or heating solution, there are a few key factors that need to be considered. Energy efficiency naturally comes to mind, along with features like reliability, low maintenance costs, ease of installation and ease of use. - [Cooling & Heating](https://blog.swegon.com/en/tag/cooling-heating) ### [Alessandro Lora](https://blog.swegon.com/en/author/alessandro-lora) ## [Why 2021 will be a disrupting milestone for cooling and heating products](https://blog.swegon.com/en/why-2021-will-be-a-disrupting-milestone-for-cooling-heating-products) Despite all industries currently focusing on minimizing the business impact of COVID 19 and trying to predict and react for the future evolution of the post-pandemic economy, our HVAC-Chiller/Heat pumps industry is facing another challenge at the same time. - [BIM](https://blog.swegon.com/en/tag/bim) ### [John Wibrand](https://blog.swegon.com/en/author/john-wibrand) ## [From BIM to digital twins for buildings](https://blog.swegon.com/en/improve-your-building-systems-with-a-digital-twin) The importance of data modelling in commercial buildings has started to move beyond mere space and energy efficiency to the real creation of a living, breathing model of an operational building. - [Cooling & Heating](https://blog.swegon.com/en/tag/cooling-heating) ### [Fabio Polo](https://blog.swegon.com/en/author/fabio-polo) ## [How to design an efficient IT cooling system](https://blog.swegon.com/en/how-to-design-an-efficient-it-cooling-system) Not surprisingly, computer servers have different demands than people.
