Air handling solutions for schools

Whether designing a new school or renovating an existing one,
Swegon offers energy-efficient air handling solutions tailored to the unique requirements of each project.

Decentralised  

Fresh air directly where needed

Decentralised ventilation provides fresh air and heat recovery close to the occupied space, without requiring an extensive central duct network.

Swegon SERENITY is designed especially for classrooms and other spaces where acoustic comfort and installation flexibility are essential. Individual units allow rooms to be upgraded independently without disruption to school activities, making the solution particularly attractive for renovation projects 

Ideal for: Classroom renovations, phased upgrades and buildings where installing central ventilation ductwork is difficult or disruptive.

Designed for comfort and concentration

SERENITY

A quiet learning environment is essential for students and teachers.

SERENITY combines high airflow capacity with low sound levels. With a published sound level of just 35 dB(A) at an airflow of 1,000 m³/h under specified conditions, the unit is designed to support environments where acoustic comfort is particularly important.

Integrated heat recovery also reduces energy losses, helping schools improve ventilation without unnecessary heating demand.

Flexible installation for new and existing buildings

SERENITY

SERENITY offers several installation configurations, including ceiling-mounted, vertical and horizontal alternatives.

Units can be integrated into the architecture or installed visibly, depending on the available space and design requirements. Different finishes also make it easier to adapt the installation to the classroom interior.

The integrated TAC7 control system and TACtouch user interface simplify operation and provide access to important system information, including temperatures, filter status and operating conditions.

Why choose SERENITY for school ventilation?

Centralised

Efficient ventilation for the entire school

A centralised ventilation system distributes fresh air to multiple rooms through a shared duct network. With Swegon GOLD air handling units, schools benefit from efficient heat recovery, integrated controls and the possibility to optimise ventilation according to the needs of individual spaces.

Ideal for: New schools, extensive renovations and buildings where centralised air distribution and coordinated system management are preferred.

Efficiency meets sustainability  

GOLD

With Swegon GOLD air handling units, schools benefit from highly efficient heat recovery, integrated controls and flexible system design. 

  • High energy efficiency through efficient fans and heat recovery.

  • Building-wide operation, monitoring and coordinated maintenance.

  • Flexible configurations for different airflows and heat recovery requirements.

  • Lower embodied carbon through recycled and renewably produced steel, with options for refurbishment and upgrades.

Building-wide ventilation with integrated controls

GOLD

GOLD combines efficient fans and heat exchangers with fully integrated IQlogic controls, allowing the system to be configured to meet the specific ventilation requirements of the building.

For schools with varying occupancy patterns, GOLD can be combined with Swegon WISE demand-controlled ventilation to optimise airflow according to the needs of individual rooms. 

This means that a classroom filled with students can receive the ventilation it needs, while an empty classroom operates at a reduced airflow. The result is a comfortable learning environment with less unnecessary energy consumption.

The system can also be connected to Swegon's digital services to enable monitoring and optimisation throughout the building's lifetime.

   

Why choose GOLD for school ventilation?

Which solution is right for your school?

Both centralised and decentralised ventilation can provide fresh air, energy recovery and comfortable indoor conditions. The right choice depends on the characteristics of the building and the objectives of the project.
