Our economy and society are still built on nature. For this reason, the contribution of the whole society is needed to prevent climate change and to protect biodiversity. At Climecon, we want to be involved in solving climate challenges, and we have been a carbon-neutral company since 2020. That’s what we are this year too. However, the work against climate change continues, and we want to take steps toward an even more responsible operation.
At Climecon, we design and manufacture our products in Finland at our factories in Kausala and Pihtipudas. We also use Finnish subcontractors. We are a significant employer locally and, for example, our factory in Kausala employs about 35 people. The factories are also home to some of our product development team. The Pihtipudas factory manufactures products mainly for air purification and professional kitchens all the way from Finnish markets to the Middle East.
Improved user experience with streamlined features is at the core of the renewed Vent.X user interface. The new selection tool for air terminal devices is significantly faster and optimized for wide screens. This is to make working easier and reduces the need for scrolling.
Our high-quality products made of acid-proof and stainless steel are resistant to corrosion.
EPD verified hoods offer a solution, especially for sites where minimizing climate effects is sought after. Builders, designers, and other stakeholders get verified, unbiased information about the hoods’ carbon footprints along with a broad range of other environmental effects.
Antti has worked for a year as a manufacturing manager at our factory in Kausala. He organizes and is responsible for the operations of the factory and things have gone smoothly. Antti started at Climecon after looking for new challenges and he wanted to move forward in his career. He got his first exposure to the ventilation industry after starting at Climecon. From a previous life in the wood industry, the pallets and wooden packaging were replaced by paint and metal, which are used to make high-quality products for ventilation at our factory.
In the throw pattern and sound environment design views, you can find a Save button at the top right. It produces a link to Vent.X’s design view with the parameters that have been selected for the space and devices in the program. You can use the link to return to the saved plan and change the operating values of the space and devices defined in the Vent.X selection program.
The Revit models of Climecon’s ventilation ceiling components can now be downloaded from the MagiCAD Cloud library and added into designs. Components for high-yielding air purification and high-quality offer a good indoor climate and safe working conditions even in the most demanding professional kitchens.
Susanne Ylikoski is the export manager of Climecon. We want to introduce you to the sunny persona.
The use of UV light in professional kitchen air purification is common, but in terms of efficient grease degradation and life cycle costs, selecting the right technology makes all the difference. We list three factors of UV applications that help in controlling maintenance costs and make the work of the kitchen staff easier.
The role of lighting in a professional kitchen is significant for occupational safety and as a comfort factor for employees. It is governed by the international indoor lighting standard EN 12464, which regulates the threshold values of lighting in terms of glare, color reproduction, and lighting adequacy. The standard has also guided the product development of OptiLumo – Climecon’s luminaire for professional kitchens.
Achieving a high level of extract air cleanliness plays a major role in reducing cleaning and maintenance costs and increasing fire safety of the premises. Additionally, clean extract air can be utilized with heat recovery ventilation systems.
Black hoods have been desired among restaurateurs for a long time, and now their wishes have been answered to. All Climecon hoods and ventilation ceilings are available in black. We presented the hoods in black at the FinnBuild fair.
We are the first manufacturer to offer EPD verified ventilation solutions. With this, products with reliable and comprehensive verification of their environmental effects are also available in ventilation.
One example of how we have sustainability issues at the core of product development is how the plastic parts of our air terminal devices have been replaced with biocomposite. The carbon dioxide emissions of the new, biodegradable material is only one-tenth compared to the previous material.
With solutions developed in cooperation with architects and new materials for ventilation, top-class building technology and interior design can be combined. At Climecon’s FinnBuild booth 6d60, fair visitors can experience how ventilation solutions can be implemented with style, without compromising on environmental issues.
New products, tips for design and selection programs, the most stylish domestic ventilation solutions, and advanced technology are presented at our FinnBuild stand 6d60. Fair visitors also have the opportunity to learn about the long-term sustainability work of our carbon-neutral company. Additionally, our extremely good attitude doesn’t leave anyone cold – there is definitely something for everyone!
What can be achieved in a medium-sized manufacturing company in a three-years-span with thorough emissions’ analysis and active reduction measures? In such a short time, we managed to reduce our carbon footprint by a whopping 26%.
According to recent report from a sovereign institution, FLO plenum boxes meet the requirements of adjustment accuracy class 1. This means that the adjustment position of the devices remains within ± 5% of that designed, which is remarkable when considering the balanced operation of the ventilation system.
Our factories are closed durig weeks 28-30. The warehouse is open all summer long and our stars of customer service…
We strive to ensure that HVAC designers find suitable and reliable ventilation solutions for their projects with our tools. Below we introducethree functions that anyone can use to take air terminal device design to a new level on Vent.X.
