If you're a ventilation designer or installer, your role extends beyond designing or setting up a duct system. It’s your responsibility to foster a conducive indoor environment that’s comfortable, healthy, and productive. A significant element that often goes unnoticed in this pursuit is sound reduction. An essential product for a quiet ventilation system is the simple sound attenuator.

Creating a healthy indoor environment often brings to mind factors such as temperature, humidity, and air quality. However, one essential yet frequently overlooked element is acoustic. Unwanted or disturbing noise can significantly impact our comfort, well-being, and health, thus making sound reduction a vital part of creating an optimal indoor environment.

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.
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.
Lindab and Tata Steel Nederland announce to have entered a memorandum of understanding to supply Zeremis® green steel once the IJmuiden steelworks transitions to hydrogen-based steel production.
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%.
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.
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 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 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.
Lindab introduces an upgraded LindQST MagiCAD plugin, enhancing BIM workflows for ventilation professionals. The plugin directly connects Revit models to LindQST projects, auto-generates rooms in 3D Indoor Climate Designer, and enables multiple product exports to MagiCAD for Revit. This boosts efficiency, accuracy, and improves the quality of integrated design.
Lindab will deliver the world's first ventilation ducts in fossil-free steel to an innovative construction project in Lund, Sweden. The real estate company Vectura is developing and managing the project, and Skanska handles the construction. The aim is for the property to be LEED Gold certified.
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
Lindabs journey toward reduced CO₂-emissions, first stop: decarbonised steel. In 2021, we partnered with SSAB on a future with fossil-free steel. And now, 2023, we have launched products in Recycled 75 steel.
Lindab, a leading supplier of ventilation solutions, has taken a pioneering step towards the goal of reducing the climate impact of its products by offering ventilation ducts in recycled steel as part of its regular range. The first project to use these ventilation ducts is Jakobsbergsgatan 24, a property in the Mood quarter in Stockholm owned by AMF Fastigheter.
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 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.
Today Lindab introduces Plafond XD – an active chilled beam that combines optimal indoor climate performance with flexible design elements for architects and installers alike.
Lindab introduces Fire System Pro – an automatic fire and smoke control steering system with multiple setups through one access point, customized function testing and Bluetooth technology for faster commissioning.
