As we wrap up 2025, it’s the perfect time to look back at the Swegon UK&I blog posts that resonated most with our readers this year. From practical compliance guidance to deeper technical insight and clarity around complex systems, this year’s most-read blogs reflect the challenges and conversations shaping our industry.
So, whether you missed a few or want a refresher, let's explore the six standout Swegon blogs of 2025:
#1 Hydraulic Circuit Requirements - Part 1: What You Need to Know
The first instalment of this two-part series laid the foundations for understanding hydraulic circuits and why they are so critical to system performance.
Focusing on core principles, common mistakes and essential requirements, it helped readers understand why hydraulic design matters - not just how it’s implemented.
#2 Hydraulic Circuit Requirements - Part 2: A Closer Look at Optimisation and Efficiency
Building on Part 1, the second blog in the series delved deeper into optimisation, efficiency and long-term performance.
By exploring how correct hydraulic design supports energy efficiency, reliability and occupant comfort, it rounded out the series with practical insight that readers could apply directly to real projects.
#3 Clearing the Air: Effective Strategies for Cold Smoke Extraction in the NHS
Fire safety takes on even greater significance in healthcare environments, and this blog focused on the unique demands faced by NHS buildings.
By exploring cold smoke behaviour, regulatory expectations and effective system strategies, it provided valuable insight into protecting occupants while maintaining continuity of care - a topic that clearly resonated with those working in and around healthcare design.
#4 Comparing R290 Refrigerant Heat Pumps for Retail Store Heating
With sustainability high on the agenda, this blog explored why R290 refrigerant is gaining momentum in retail heating applications.
By comparing system performance, environmental impact and real-world suitability, it offered readers a balanced view of how natural refrigerants can support both operational efficiency and decarbonisation goals, without glossing over the design considerations that matter most.
#5 What You Should Know When Installing Fire Dampers
Fire safety remains a critical priority across the built environment, and this blog struck a chord by focusing on the practical realities of fire damper installation.
Covering common pitfalls, installer responsibilities and the importance of correct installation for life safety and compliance, this piece helped bridge the gap between standards and site practice, making it essential reading for contractors, consultants and building owners alike.
#6 From Complex to Clear: A Smarter Way to Deliver Indoor Climate
This blog tackled one of the industry’s biggest challenges: turning complex building services concepts into clear, actionable understanding.
By breaking down technical systems and explaining how informed design choices lead to better-performing buildings, it reinforced the value of early collaboration, clarity and system thinking.
