Sustainability and Energy Efficiency: An Opportunity for HVAC Contractors to Succeed

For example in Finland, the construction sector plays a key role in achieving climate goals. Buildings account for nearly 40% of total energy consumption, and the built environment generates about one-third of carbon dioxide emissions. The ventilation and heating systems designed and installed by contractors define a building’s energy efficiency and indoor climate for decades. Especially in ventilation, correct system sizing, airflow control, and optimization have a major impact on both comfort in living and working environments and on energy use.

What Should HVAC Designers and Contractors Know About the EU Taxonomy?

The EU’s climate and sustainability policies are also reshaping the building services engineering landscape. The EU Taxonomy is a classification system that defines the criteria for sustainable activities and guides investors towards funding environmentally sustainable projects. This directly impacts which projects receive financing and under what terms and, in turn, the solutions that HVAC designers and contractors will actually implement.

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.
