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.

How does carbon dioxide indoors affect us, what is the recommended levels and how can we reduce too high levels? All of this and much more in the latest post in our blog series about good indoor air.

H2 Green Steel supports Lindab in reducing its CO₂ footprint from steel

H2 Green Steel supports Lindab in reducing its CO₂ footprint from steel

Lindab committed very early to purchasing near zero emissions steel from H2 Green Steel. The two companies have since converted the early term sheet agreement into a 7-year supply contract with deliveries planned to start in 2026. The total volume covered by the contract is 159,000 tonnes of zero emissions steel.

What is good indoor air?

What is good indoor air?

What constitutes good air? And how do we know if the air we breathe is good or bad? We have identified the level of carbon dioxide, particulate matter, relative humidity, volatile organic compounds as well as the temperature in a room as key factors. Thanks to digitization and sensor technique we can now measure most of these different parameters in indoor environments and visualize the invisible.

Lindab delivers ventilation system in fossil-free steel to Castellum

Lindab delivers ventilation system in fossil-free steel to Castellum

Lindab and Castellum are collaborating on duct systems in fossil-free steel for a renovation project in Stockholm, Sweden. Lindab is the first ventilation company in the world to receive a pilot delivery of fossil-free steel from SSAB. Castellum is significantly reducing the project's climate impact by choosing fossil-free ventilation ducts for its remodelling.

Looking further on: fossil-free products and the importance of a holistic view

In a recent blog post, which you can read here, we talked about our ongoing steel journey and the offering of ventilation products in Recycled 75 steel. We also mentioned the fact that the world steel production is expected to increase from 1,950 million tonnes in 2021, to around 2,500 million tonnes in 2050. By then, 2050, the need for steel is expected to be covered by 50% with recycled steel, w

Lindab launches ventilation products in recycled steel

Lindab launches ventilation products in recycled steel with 62 per cent lower climate impact

Lindab takes another step towards reducing the climate impact of its products by extending the standard product range with ventilation ducts in 75 per cent recycled steel, resulting in a 62 per cent reduction in climate impact. Lindab receives its recycled steel from ArcelorMittal's steel mill in Europe and has ongoing dialogues with other steel suppliers.

As one of few companies in the world, Lindab will receive a test delivery of fossil-free steel from SSAB.

Lindab first in the world with ventilation ducts in fossil-free steel

As one of few companies in the world, Lindab will receive a test delivery of fossil-free steel from SSAB. Lindab will offer its customers a limited number of ventilation and building construction products made from fossil-free steel. It is the only delivery Lindab will receive before regular production of fossil-free steel starts in 2026.

Bengt Andersson, product and marketing director at Lindab, likes the experience of driving to and from home, and all distances up to 40 km on pure electric power.

Lindab rolls out plug-in hybrids

Ventilation and building materials company Lindab is replacing it's 700 diesel and petrol-driven vehicles with plug-in hybrid cars. Now the first cars are on the roads.
