The plastic nozzles of our air terminal devices are replaced with biocomposite

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.

“A 90% smaller carbon footprint is a fact that matters! Similar measures to reduce the carbon footprint will also be sought in the future,” says Pekka Huhtela, business director of air terminal devices at Climecon.

While the environmental impact of the nozzles has been brought to a significantly lower level, the appearance of the nozzles has also improved even further. The mold used in the manufacturing of the nozzles was subjected to a spark treatment, thanks to which the nozzle blends in with the matte surface of the nozzle duct, and the end result is finished.

Nozzles are used, for example, in displacement diffusers, nozzle ducts, and diffusers that come into walls and ceilings, which accumulate a lot over time. At larger sites, the use of biocomposite has a significant impact on managing total emissions.

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.
