Welcome to our Knowledge hub

We are in a complex business, requiring an understanding of everything from how we as humans are affected by the indoor environment, to how we can get the optimal technical solutions in place in terms of energy and cost efficiency. Based on 90 years of experience in the industry of indoor climate, we are about to share our best knowledge.

This hub is divided into three main sections, from the general knowledge needed to understand the foundations of indoor climate, to hands-on tips for how to select the best solutions, all exemplifying products and systems we offer to solve the challenges. The below interactive menu presents each section briefly and give options for further reading. A lot of the material is linked together and it is therefore possible to create a learning path based on interest.

Learning & staying up to date

In this section we offer essential information on the topic of indoor climate.

Our blogs span from broad and general, to specific and product or technology oriented. The blogs differ in length but our experts’ knowledge will engage regardless.

The indoor climate guide has an extensive structure that in its full extent will describe most of what is there to know about the indoor climate in relation to the human being. But don’t worry, the guide doesn’t have to be read as a whole, it can very well be enjoyed in parts.

Swegon Air Academy is also comprehansive and features a broad content. The information is however deep diving in numerous indoor climate subjects and the majority of the information is built on research and an academic foundation.

Best practises in the field of HVAC

Here we provide knowledge from the perspective of a specific building type, or a certain technical area which is of key concern from an indoor climate perspective.

In our application guides we gather the many challenges, leads and possible solutions for a wide variety of applications, e.g offices, schools and hotels. In our reference cases we follow the same logic, but go from theory to practice and present actual examples of successful building projects. In our reference book, Places we love, carefully chosen projects are beautifully presented as articles, sharing our knowledge.

Our technical guides describe, compare or define different technical matters. Initially the guides are built on key facts but they all dive deep into specific subjects, products or functions. We have also gathered the main HVAC basics in our extensive Technical indoor climate guide.

Selecting the right solution

The expertise we have gathered is not only available as knowledgeable guides, it is also built into our software, products and services, which enable us to create comfortable and healthy indoor environments.

Our software are valuable from very early in the building process. They are of great help from the phase of dimensioning the indoor climate system, to taking the right decisions on key technical choices and to finally selecting the exact products for the job.

Products and services then constitute the final link in this long chain of know-how, making the plans materialize into well-working buildings where people can be at their best today, and tomorrow.

What is there to know about the indoor environment and the human being?

In the industrialised world we spend about 90% of our lives indoors. And while most of us are concerned about what we eat and drink, we are less aware of the 15 kg of air we breathe every day. We are rarely concerned about the comfort, health and cognitive effects of poor indoor temperatures, noise and humidity. Far too often, the buildings we spend our time in makes us tired, unwell and less fit to perform and learn. Quite unnecessarily, since there are modern indoor climate systems available, creating conditions in which we can thrive.

This indoor climate guide gives a fundamental understanding of how the human is affected by the indoor environments we live, work, perform and rest in. Essential information for many stakeholders, in order to design and build the homes, hotels, offices and schools of tomorrow.

The Indoor Climate Guide

Take the academic angle on the indoor climate

Swegon Air Academy is an excellent complement to the indoor climate guide. The focus is again the environments in which we eat, work, sleep, and breathe. However, Swegon Air Academy has a foundation of strong partnerships with industry and academic organisations. With the base in scientific research we together have taken the lead in educating a wide audience on the topic of building design, HVAC solutions and healthy and comfortable indoor environments.

Typical challenges and solutions of different building types

At the outset of a construction project, it is typically known what purpose the building will serve – if it’s a school, office, hotel or residential project. Our application guides therefore start out from the same perspective.

The guides are offering general information and noteworthy trends from studies, research or daily media. They are further highlighting a variety of important challenges. In-depth information as well as suggestions are given on HVAC design software, products, services and solutions. The guides are generous in linking to additional information such as blogs and references, making it possible to accumulate valuable knowledge about a building and the indoor climate.

HVAC-basics in our extensive Technical indoor climate guide

Many of us at Swegon, and quite a few external stakeholders, enjoy and use our Technical indoor climate guide to get the HVAC basics in a fairly straight-forward way. Even though the physical laws of air and water, the ventilation principles or the fundamentals of temperature have not changed over time, a review and update of the guide has recently been completed.

Our technical indoor climate guide may be read as a flipbook online, be downloaded or sent as a printed copy.
