Before: An outdated ventilation system, poor indoor climate and drafts from the ventilation.
Now: More alert students and teachers, good air quality and lower noise level.
When the ventilation at Sturegymnasiet in Halmstad needed to be improved, the challenge was, among other things, to follow the guidelines and restrictions for listed buildings. Some parts were built as early as the end of the 19th century and have thick concrete walls. The solution was to put an Envistar Top unit size 04 unit in each classroom.
In this video, Bernd Hake demonstrates the installation of new decentralised air handling units at the Sturegymnasium.
The investment cost of 25,000 euro per classroom includes everything: units and ventilation, electrical and construction work.
The air handling units have created a better indoor environment for both teachers and students. An even air distribution in the classrooms provides good comfort and also reduces energy use. IV Produkt delivered Envistar Top including a hand-held terminal with touchscreen. The Easy Access concept ensured easy transport.
“After getting this solution in place, students and teachers feel that they are more alert. They experience a lower noise level and generally a better indoor climate”, says Krister Hansson, project manager at Halmstad municipality.
The Easy Access concept made transporting the units into the classrooms quick and easy.

In recent years, ventilation has been replaced in about half of the 50 classrooms. Krister Hansson believes that the new ventilation can contribute to better learning ability for students. Additional projects with this new ventilation solution are planned at preschools and primary schools in Halmstad municipality. That students get the right conditions for learning in school should be a matter of course, and for that the indoor climate is of great importance.
