Professional kitchen ventilation products are now EPD calculated

The environmental effects of all professional kitchen ceiling ventilation solutions have now been calculated, and the EPD documents are available on our website. We continue to make EPD calculations and ensure that our customers have reliable environmental information about our products in the future.

More and more builders are interested in the carbon footprint of the construction products they choose, and the need for transparent environmental information is growing.  With the reform of the Building Act, it is necessary to calculate the carbon footprint of a new building in Finland. The environmental report, i.e., EPD, facilitates the construction project’s climate assessment, ensuring that the emission data is correct. If the product does not have an environmental product declaration the carbon footprint calculation has to rely on emission databases, which always give inaccurate information and a larger carbon footprint because of the conservatism factor. A manufacturer-specific EPD declaration is, therefore, a clear competitive advantage when the project aims for ambitious emission reductions. We also have EPD-calculated hoods in our selection.

 


Climecon’s ceiling ventilation solutions are designed to meet the needs of even the most demanding professional kitchens based on hygiene, functionality, and especially design.

Our ceiling ventilation solutions include a wide selection of different ventilation units, such as supply air, capture air, exhaust air units, and air curtain units, that prevent dirty air from spreading outside the frying stations.

Five years of successful climate work

We have been actively working on mitigating climate change for five years, which has led to significant decrease in emissions for Climecon. From the first calculation, conducted in 2019, emissions have decreased by as much as 45%, which is equivalent to 1,730 tons of carbon dioxide. This amount is equivalent to driving 12.4 million kilometres by car, or almost three thousand people making a round trip from Helsinki to Munich each year. We publish our carbon footprint for the previous year and a summary of the highlights of our sustainability work annually.

Five reasons to choose OptiLumo luminaires for professional kitchens

Good lighting is of paramount importance to kitchen staff, as it directly impacts occupational safety, work efficiency, and well-being. Adequate and correctly directed lighting reduces the risk of occupational accidents, such as those associated with knife handling and working with hot surfaces. When the light is evenly distributed over the workstation, and there is no glare, even a long working day does not strain the eyes. OptiLumo luminaires for hoods and ventilation ceilings are perfect for professional kitchens and offer particularly suitable lighting for kitchens and the ideal color temperature for cooking.
