The indoor climate affects us
Most spend about 90% of their lives indoors, and while most are concerned about what they eat and drink, they are not that bothered about the 15 kg of air they breathe every day. Neither is there a general concern about the effects on health and cognitive effects of poor indoor temperatures, noise and humidity. It is far too often that buildings makes people tired, unwell and less fit to perform and learn. Quite unnecessarily, since there are modern indoor climate solutions that can ensure indoor climate for people to thrive.
This indoor climate guide gives a fundamental understanding of how we are affected by the indoor environments where we live, work, perform and rest.
The Indoor Climate Guide
Take the academic angle
Swegon Air Academy is a acedemic complement to our Swegon web. The focus is again the indoor climate in the environments in which we eat, work, sleep, and breathe. However, Swegon Air Academy has the foundation of strong partnerships with industry and academic organisations. With strong base in scientific research the platform takes a leading position in educating the wide audience on building design, healthy and comfortable indoor environments.

Recommendations for different applications
At the outset of a project, the purpose of the finished building is typically known – it is a school, office, hotel or residential building. These guides therefore start from the same perspective, a certain building application.
They aim to address common questions and challenges related to building and HVAC projects, and do so with recommendations and suggestions that ease decision making processes. The guides are generous in linking, for instance to blogs and references, to be a comprehensive source of information.

Guides to key technical decisions
There are several choices to make when designing an indoor climate solution. Often there are different ways to meet the set requirements, each with its own pros and cons. Our technical guides evaluate available options and go through the fundamentals that are good to know, before making any decisions.

Support the design work with our software
Defined from the very beginning, by an unwavering commitment to quality and innovation, we have developed an array of software that support the HVAC design work. These are useful early in the design process as they help select and specify products, installation and/or commissioning. Our software take weights off the shoulders of the building project.
