Systemair (NASDAQ OMX Stockholm: SYSR) together with ventilation contractor
Gösta Schelin and consultant firm PQR Konsult been chosen to the winner of the
The Indoor Climate Prize.
Systemair, in collaboration with ventilation contractor Gösta Schelin and
consultant firm PQR Konsult developed an innovative system solution. The
solution enables energy efficiency of existing apartment buildings and ensures
at the same time a good indoor climate.
The idea is based on the existing exhaust system, supplemented with ventilation
channels in the apartments for the supply of fresh air. Systemair has developed
a new energy efficient air handling unit with a high efficiency heat exchanger
where up to 90% of the heat energy is recovered, which replaces the old fans.
The air handling unit is placed in the attic space and new channels to the
apartments are installed in the stairwell.
"The high efficiency of the air handling unit gives an energy saving up to 40
kilowatt-hours per square metre per year. This means that the majority of
Sweden's apartment buildings have a high potential for energy efficiency
improvements through our common system solution", says Pär Johansson Sales
Manager Sweden
"The demand for this type of system is constantly increasing and interest is
high. We see great potential for the product and system solution both in Sweden
and the rest of Europe ", says CEO Gerald Engström
The Indoor Climate Prize was founded in 2001 by Slussen Building Services in
cooperation with Swedvac (Swedish society of HVAC engineers), SwedVent and The
Swedish Society of Refrigeration. The Indoor Climate Prize aims at strengthening
indoor climate technology position and increasing interest in the same.
