How to create a great shoping environment where
customers enjoy and employees perform at their best?
Swegon helps to create inviting, energy-efficient and sustainable shopping environments where customers feel comfortable and products stay safe and fresh.
"Whether it is a small specialty store or a large shopping center - we have a sustainable solution for heating, cooling and ventilation."
Sustainable heating & cooling
Our award-winning heat pumps optimises the entire building’s heating and cooling solution in order to reduce emissions and drastically lower the carbon footprint. This is especially critical for retail spaces where maintaining comfortable climate control is essential, while simultaneously adhering to stringent sustainability standards.
Units such as OMICRON Zero from Swegon, take this commitment further by utilising R290 (propane), a highly sustainable refrigerant choice. With a low Global Warming Potential (GWP), R290 minimises environmental impact while delivering superior efficiency. By integrating R290 into our heat pumps and designing holistic solutions, Swegon ensures that the building not only achieves net zero emissions, but also supports a greener future.
The environmental and economic benefits of decarbonising buildings can be substantial. Much depends on the existing indoor climate solution, the energy supply mix and the energy price. It is not unrealistic to expect a 60% decarbonisation if going from a natural gas boiler to a well-optimised heat pump solution.
Additionally, by reducing dependency on natural gas and other volatile energy sources, not only will environmental benefits be achieved but also a more stable financial return.
Swegon offers tools and expertise to help calculate the potential carbon savings, providing a clear picture of how sustainable heating can benefit both the bottom line and the environmental footprint.

Room management systems
Indoor climate adapted to occupancy and activity in real-time, ensuring perfect comfort when it’s needed — and saving energy when it’s not. Smarter control, lower costs, better shopping experiences.
Swegon WISE is the smartest solution for demand-controlled indoor climate on the market. WISE acts as the brain for the indoor climate, gathering data from the property and optimising the indoor climate accordingly. The data can include everything from temperature and air quality to occupancy.
WISE controls all the elements in a climate system, such as air handling units and climate products. WISE can also control water and air optimisation and it is possible to add digital services in which products’ and properties’ data can be visualised and managed.

INSIDE digital services
Waste heat recovery
Supermarkets and retail chains face rising energy costs, tighter EU refrigerant regulations, and ambitious Net Zero goals. Heating, cooling, and refrigeration account for over 50% of their total energy use — making energy efficiency critical to both profit and sustainability.
Heat recovery is the key to unlocking this potential. By transforming unavoidable refrigeration waste heat into energy for space heating and hot water, food retailers can cut operational costs, reduce emissions, and future-proof their buildings.

Humidity optimisation
In retail environments, indoor humidity plays a crucial role in shaping the shopping experience, preserving products, and managing energy efficiency. Unstable humidity levels can lead to customer and staff discomfort, product damage, and rising operational costs.
