How the choice of indoor climate system affect a building’s carbon footprint across its lifecycle

When different indoor climate systems are evaluated for refurbishment or new-build projects, focus is often placed on energy consumption, operating costs and investment. However, in recent years, embodied carbon has become an increasingly important consideration. As EU regulations place growing …

Improving energy efficiency through better insights

Energy efficiency has become one of the defining priorities for the building sector. Rising energy costs, increasingly ambitious sustainability targets and evolving regulatory requirements are placing greater pressure on building owners, operators and investors to understand exactly how their …

User experience is reshaping how air handling unit performance is defined

An air handling unit (AHU) is designed to deliver a healthy indoor climate while operating as efficiently as possible. Yet achieving that performance is about far more than fans, heat exchangers and control algorithms. Every day, thousands of service technicians and facility managers use the AHU’s …

Built to last: Composite air handling units are changing the game

When thinking about an air handling unit (AHU), it is natural to focus on what happens inside it: fans, filters, heat exchangers, control systems and heat recovery. But one part of the air handling unit that is just as important as the components, is the casing. William Lawrence and Åse Esselius …

Home renovation – a major opportunity to improve energy performance

While new residential buildings are increasingly designed to meet ambitious energy performance standards, a significant challenge remains elsewhere - in the buildings that already exist and will be standing for many years. Our expert, Lars Norrdal, Residential Director, explains further how this is.

Creating controlled indoor climates for laboratories and research environments

Buildings are increasingly viewed holistically and are subject to stricter requirements, not least when it comes to indoor climate and sustainability. With indoor environmental quality (IEQ) now included in the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), the topic has moved even …

Climate ceilings: performance meets design and comfort

In today’s building projects, architects, designers and property owners face a growing challenge: creating spaces that are not only energy-efficient and comfortable, but also visually inspiring. This is particularly true in offices and retail environments, where interior design plays a crucial role …

Why the casing of air handling units is critical for a healthy indoor climate

To achieve a good indoor climate with low operating cost the ventilation solution must be designed and installed in a proper way so that energy losses are minimised and air quality preserved. This means that it must be airtight and well insulated but also be formed to allow cleaning. Something that …
