Temperature – cold facts on a hot topic

Temperature – cold facts on a hot topic

Temperature is an important part of the indoor climate when it comes to comfort and productivity. And to feel comfortable is a prerequisite for performing without hindrance. Both high and low temperatures can affect mental ability, work capacity, strength and mobility. This in turn can affect the frequency of accidents, work performance and comfort.

The thousand gases of our everyday life

The thousand gases of our everyday life

Volatile Organic Compounds or carbon-based chemicals are emitted as gases from solids or liquids. There are thousands of different gases produced from products like paint and perfume, but also generated from activities such as cooking and smoking. If exposed to VOCs, possible short-term symptoms and health effects may include headache, cough and dizziness as well as throat and skin irritation.

Relative humidity is an absolute health factor

Relative humidity is an absolute health factor

Relative humidity is a measure of the actual amount of water vapor in the air compared to the total amount of vapor that can exist in the air at its current temperature. Both too much or too little relative humidity can cause discomfort. If you have really high humidity levels you may want to check your pipes and plumbing for water leaks. The optimal RH-level is between 40-60%.

Why particulate matter matters

Why particulate matter matters

Airborne particles are a form of air pollution, a piece of solid or liquid matter that floats in the air around us. Their ability to get stuck in the body and form depots depends on their size and whether they can pass through the mucous membranes of the airways. Some can enter the bloodstream and spread to other organs. A ventilation system can remove a majority of the particles from outside.

Lindab Sweden has taken important steps in its sustainability work by now using 100% renewable electricity from hydropower throughout its operations. This change is part of Lindab Groups long-term sustainability strategy and contributes to the Group's overall goal of reducing its climate footprint in Scope 1 and 2 by 56% from 2022 to 2030, a goal that is validated by the Science Based Targets initiative.

Meet Giuseppe Volino who works as Sustainability Specialist for Region South, which means his responsibility is to support the companies in the implementation of our sustainability plan. Or as he describes it himself: Think of me as a green crusader driving projects and reporting with a passion for making the world a better place!

Is there something you are especially proud of during you time so far at Lindab?
- One of my proudest moments was when we implemented a new way to calculate external transportation that significantly improved our sustainability reporting. It felt like I had just cracked a complex code, and seeing the positive impact of our work was incredibly rewarding.

Our production sites in Grevie recently underwent the annual Eurovent audit – with no remarks or suggested actions! Among the things the audit looks at is to ensure that the manufacturing process is replicated and reliable for all certified products in the range, and to conduct product sampling directly from the production line or from factory stock. This guarantees that the tested product is taken from regular production and representative of all units.

The audit is independently verified recognition that our products are up to promised standards and our manufacturing process meet the industry’s best practice.

The Gävle Goat is a well-known Swedish Christmas display in the city of Gävle. This year, the Gävle Goat faces stiff competition from Lindab's very own Christmas goat, which was built using ventilation products and erected at the factory in Grevie. Behind the idea is former Gävle resident Rikard Malmberg, Development Engineer at Lindab, who together with laser cutting machine operator Torbjörn Reimer ensured that the goat named Sigge came to life. Should you ever feel the urge to make your very own ventilation Christmas goat, be sure to have the following products at hand:
 
SR Ø1000, Ø400, Ø315 and Ø250 (body, head, neck and leg) 
4 x PSU 250/630 (leg attachment)
BSU Ø125 (tail)
MF Ø125 (muff tail)
ILU Ø125 (attachment tail)
ESU Ø250 and Ø125 (endcap legs and endcap tail)
 
Unlike the Gävle Goat who often gets burned down, this goat is fire rated E60, meaning it can withstand fully developed (945°C) fire for at least 60 minutes. Hopefully that won’t be necessary!

The CEN/TS 156 WG 26 is a working group within the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) who earlier this fall met up in Berlin to work on a unified European standard for Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) specific to ventilation products. LCA/EPD Specialist Kerstin Bergström, who represents Lindab in this group, described the meeting as insightful.

“By creating a unified standard, we can make sure that EPDs are accurate, non-misleading, and applicable across various European markets, thereby promoting better sustainability in the ventilation industry.” Kerstin concludes.
