Circularity: from pilots to industrial scale
In previous blog posts (links below), it has been highlighted why embodied carbon requires more attention, and how circularity is increasingly becoming part of the sustainability efforts in HVAC and the building industry. Through the Nordic Circularity Piloting Program, we have tested circular …Things to consider when choosing an AHU for small premises
When choosing an air handling unit (AHU) for smaller premises, such as retail areas in an otherwise residential buildings, there may not be an assigned technical room, and the premises may be on the ground level. This will put some special requirements on the ventilation solution. In this article, …Heat Pumps: Key for Zero-emission buildings (ZEB)
There is a growing and unified understanding that the building sector needs to reduce both its operational energy emissions and embodied carbon emissions. This shift is clearly stated in the Energy Performance of Building Directive (EPBD). However, the latest revision of EPBD further tightens the …Chilled beams re-invented: Maintaining performance in a world of variable airflow
For decades, one of the strongest selling points of chilled beams has been their simplicity. With no fans, no drainage pumps and no mechanical moving parts, chilled beams have built a reputation of being reliable, low in maintenance and offer a long product life. This passive design has made them a …From alarms to insights - building management made easy
For a building manager, a familiar start of the day is a ringing alarm, and not just the wake-up alarm, but an alert from a building system somewhere across a portfolio of properties. Most often the alarm is unspecified, it is merely an indicator of action needed. What if that alarm could be …BIM from past to present, vast developments over years of progress
This blog post was originally written in 2019, at a time when it felt important to introduce BIM to the building industry. At that time it opened like this: have you heard the expression BIM? Probably. Especially if you work within real estate, construction or installation systems. However, what it …A 2025 review: what we accomplished and what we are bringing into 2026
Looking back at recent years’ wrap-ups, it becomes clear that sustainability has been our guiding star for quite some time. At the end of 2023, sustainability was described as a new challenge for us, yet a great opportunity. In 2024, I noticed that it framed much of the work we did throughout that …How to provide specialised solutions within HVAC
Specialised, bespoke, customised, tailor made and made-to-order, synonyms for products that are modified, altered to standard and that probably won’t suit any other purpose than the exact one they are made for. Typically, an indoor climate solution is designed using a majority of standarised …Up next: System energy calculation
HVAC products are provided with energy specifications that outline their energy use and performance during operation. The energy data is essential to making calculations of the energy usage of the systems and buildings they are to be installed within. When two or more products are interconnected …By topics
