Short presentation of Anders Berg, Lindab’s new President and CEO
In constant, passionate motion
DESPITE BEING relatively young, Anders Berg has found time for significant and
important roles within SSAB in a range of
positions, within ABB and SKF, as well as
early self-employment within IT and logistics.
En route he has gathered valuable knowledge
about the worlds of both business and steel.
Lindab’s Chairman Kjell Nilsson describes the
group’s new CEO with satisfaction as “a person with an excellent education, background
and experience that meet the requirements
that the Board of Director sets for a new CEO
in Lindab”.
Most recently, Anders Berg and his family
have spent just over three years in Shanghai,
where he was involved in developing SSAB’s
Chinese operations. “It was an extremely enjoyable and exciting time, full of challenges and
where success was achieved through passion
and openness for the task,” says Anders Berg.
“Yin and yang, family and work. These are the
two important components in life, in order of
priority. For me, achieving a symbiosis between
the two is the key to success and happiness.”
He describes himself as courteous, genuinely responsible, disinterested in the car he
drives, childishly enchanted by driving an old
motor scooter together with his family at their
cottage outside Kalix – and clearly with a burning passion to succeed and win in business.
“Football, squash, and boxing have consumed
numerous pleasurable hours of my leisure time.
Boxing in particular is wonderful,” he continues. “Everybody is equal there, full-on passion
and a real one to one fight! Moreover, you have
to be in motion and attacking at all times, just
like in a successful business enterprise.”
“When Kjell Nilsson called we were to some
extent ‘finished’ in China, and with my knowledge of Lindab, everything felt right,” concludes Anders Berg. “I don’t see the fact that
Europe is in a recession as problematic, I like
challenging conditions. Things should be tough
and a bit of a struggle, others will have to do
the administration. Our task now is to shape
Lindab into an even more well-functioning
company and then we’ll set records. In terms
of both business done and customer satisfaction. We have to operate in the long-term, take
responsibility for the future, listen to what our
customers want, and be open at all times to
adapt, adjust course and navigate correctly.
As I said, it’s like boxing, if you stand still you’ll
take a hit. From now on we should be in constant motion, and with full-on passion!”

Lindab has supplied the
“new” Simonsland in Borås
with RdBX studs for all
partition walls, as well as
the complete duct system
for the 37,000 m2 building.
Lindab Construline
Lindab Safe
For almost 100 years Simonsland in Borås pulsated with industrial life. It will soon be pulsating again,
but now as a creative, textile cluster and as a meeting place for training, history and new possibilities.
Solutions from Lindab are important elements of the project.
New life for Simonsland
SIMONSLAND WAS previously owned
by Borås Väveri and was the centre for its
rayon production. The fantastic buildings,
which were designed between 1917 and
the 1940s, are now being brought back to
life through the exciting project initiated by
the property owner, Kanico.
“Production was still taking place up to
2007, by which time we had already started
planning the first stage of the project,” says
Hanna Lassing, project manager at Kanico.
“The Swedish School of Textiles’ activities in
the city will now be assembled here, along
with all of the operations that Borås City
Council conducts in relation to textiles, the
Textile Museum for example. Restaurants
and several other tenants will contribute to
creating the stimulating cluster through collaborations, meetings and synergies, which
is our aim for Simonsland.”
“We started to strip the carcass in the
spring of 2011, only leaving facades, pillars,
staircases and the beautiful serrated glass
roof,” Hanna Lassing continues. “This gave
us an open area of 37,000 m2 to fill with
modern, functional premises, at the same
time as we wanted to preserve the exciting,
raw industrial character of the building.”
Kanico commissioned the Byggfast
company to carry out design, procurement
and production control. “The main challenge internally has been the height of the
floor levels at up to seven metres,” explains
Lars Bovin, Byggfast. “We decided at an
early stage on a steel solution in all interior
walls, and Lindab’s factory-made RdBX
steel studs have facilitated installation and
handling. Lindab was actually the only supplier that was able to present a solution that
both had the stud lengths required, and
met the sound requirements specified.”
“Working with complete stud lengths has
really made things easier for us,” says Leif
Johnsson from Tak- och Vägginstallationer,
who has been responsible
for installing the extensive
area of interior walls totalling 25,000 m2. “Moreover,
RdBX’s structure is easy
to assemble, process and
cut. We purchased all the
studs through Varbergs
Trä, which worked extremely well.”
Besides Lindab’s RdBX studs, the entire

building has been fitted with a duct system
from Lindab. “In fact, Lindab Safe is the
most easily assembled duct system on the
market, so despite the relatively complicated installation, it has gone well,” says
Christer Axelsson, LH Vent Teknik.
“Fortunately the City Council and the
University in Borås are very positive about
our venture and we are already observing
a number of positive spin-off effects for the
city as a whole, its inhabitants and businesses,” Hanna Lassing concludes.
Simonsland’s first stage will be opened
in August. The building will receive a Green
Building certification.

A harmonious, congenial and comfortable environment is essential for a school. At least that is what Ramlösa
Friskola, which now has what must be one of north-western Skåne’s most pleasant school environments, thinks.
It is a bonus that the ventilation system, with Lindab Pascal at its centre, is efficient, silent and energy-efficient!
Energy-efficient harmony
in brief
Lindab has supplied a
complete indoor climate
system based on Lindab’s
new VAV-system, Pascal,
and the Lindab Safe duct
system for Pamil’s modular
construction of the new
Ramlösa Friskola. The
facades’ aesthetically
pleasing corrugated sheetmetal in metallic silver
mean that Lindab is also
visible externally.
Lindab Safe
Lindab Comfort
Lindab Coverline
LINDAB’S NEW VAV-SYSTEM, Pascal, is now
increasingly starting to appear in contexts where
energy-efficiency, simple installation and flexible
adjustment are important parameters. Along with its
130 or so pupils, Ramlösa Friskola moved into its
completely new premises just outside Helsingborg
before the start of the spring term.
“We have been located here on Magnoliagatan
since 2003, but had felt for over a year that we had
grown out of the premises,” says Mikael Meviken at
Ramlösa Friskola. “We rented school modules from
a company called Pamil, and it was also Pamil that
gave us the best solution for our new school building. It is still a modular building, but with a completely new sense of harmony and well-being that both
pupils and teachers, as well as parents, appreciate.
Furthermore, we have acquired an energy-saving
and completely silent ventilation system, which
clearly contributes to our sense of well-being.”
Pamil Modulsystem has been manufacturing,
letting and selling flexible modular buildings for exactly 50 years (congratulations!), with the focus on
offices, schools and nurseries. For many of these
years the company has also used Lindab as supplier of both ventilation systems and construction
components in the form of exterior cladding, roofing
profiles and roof drainage etc.
“Lindab’s duct system and diffusers are in just
about all the modular buildings we have manufactured in recent years,” explains Claes Bengtsson,
CEO of Pamil. “In line with the ever increasing focus
on energy-efficiency, we also started looking at
more energy-saving ventilation solutions. Lindab
launched Pascal, its new VAV-system, while we
were designing the Ramlösa Friskola, and it proved
to be ideal for our requirements in this area.”
“We wanted to achieve a modern, demand-controlled and energy-efficient ventilation system, and
that’s exactly what we have got with Pascal,” Claes
Bengtsson continues. “As usual, Lindab has given
us excellent technical support and service throughout the entire process, and installation, assembly
and adjustment has proceeded without any prob-
dir
ir

lems. The Pascal system also enables both the fan
unit and ducts to be downsized, which reduces both
the investment- and running costs, so there are numerous benefits.” Motion sensors on the actual diffuser, along with CO2 gauges in rooms, ensure that
the Pascal system provides satisfactory ventilation
when it is really needed. Besides the visible, active
Pascal diffuser, the system consists of the specially
developed MBBV boxes and Regula control units.
Pamil normally carries out its own manufacturing
and construction, but for somewhat more complex
ventilation systems such as this, it engages subcontractors for design, installation and adjustment.
The duct system is usually also installed during
the actual manufacture of the modules at Pamil’s
large plant in Helsingborg. In this case, with a more
complex installation, the Lindab Safe duct system
was installed on site, after the modules had been
transported there and assembled.
Pamil leases the complete school facility to
Ramlösa Friskola.
“The new school building has actually only been in
use since early January,” Claes Bengtsson continues,
“so we haven’t been able to monitor energy consumption yet, but it is absolutely clear that a VAV-system of this type uses less energy, and utilising these
types of modern solutions in our module complex
feels great, both environmentally and economically.”
Mikael Meviken and Ramlösa Friskola take a very
positive view of the development of the new school.
“There are clear indications that we are increasing
our attractiveness and we are observing a stable
increase in our school population. A comfortable
and harmonious environment, with a good indoor
climate, is no doubt proving attractive!”

The Tele2 Arena in Stockholm will be a world-class, flexible and modern

THE ARENA SPACE
Fitters from Liab erect the

WHEN WE VISIT IT at the end of February, the
TELE2 Arena is a boiling cauldron of craftsmen,
who are all working frantically to ensure that the
kick-off between Hammarby and Örgryte takes
place as planned on 20 July this year. “For us, it
started with an enquiry from the main contractor, Peab, as to whether we had any ideas on
how the exterior cladding on the edges of the
floor structure could be executed,” says Anders
Ericsson at Liab Plåtbyggarna. “Our suggestion
of sandwich panels secured in lightweight beams
turned out to be both simpler and cheaper than
the original solution, and so that’s how it ended
up. And as Lindab is our largest supplier, it was
natural to select Lindab this time too.”
After this Liab won a number of further contracts
at the arena – from constructing the Arena’s fan
room, which is located high-up, to cladding the
arena space, the fixed parts of the roof and other
public areas etc. “We currently have 34 men on
site,” Anders Ericsson continues, “and so far we
have assembled, among other things, 142 tonnes
of sheet-metal, 4,500 m lightweight beams and
over 8,000 m2 of sandwich panels, high profiles
and aluminium flooring – all from Lindab.”
Liab Plåtbyggarna’s collaboration with Lindab,
with Hans Davén as contact, goes back many
years. “”We want to have suppliers that function
as sounding boards, and that’s just what it’s like
with Lindab and Hasse,” continues Anders Ericsson by way of explanation. “Fast, accurate information and assistance with, for example, design
are of crucial importance for us. Sometimes when
we have tried out other suppliers, we haven’t
even been given a delivery date. The fact is that
we have to be at the cutting-edge in relation to
our customers, so it is important that our central
suppliers are also in that position. That’s precisely
why Lindab is the best!”
For Liab Plåtbyggarna this has been a build full
of special solutions. “This type of assignment can
be trying, but we wouldn’t want to turn it away,”
concludes Anders Ericsson. “Exciting challenges
are always fun, and if you have secure suppliers
like Lindab behind you then all you have to do is
enjoy yourself!”

WITH A SPECIAL SOLUTION from Lindab, Peugeot’s worldwide identity concept, Blue Box, is now
being gradually rolled-out for Denmark’s Peugeot
dealers. Peugeot in Ringsted and in Rødovre were
the first two dealers to be able to display the new
Blue Box facade consisting of specially designed
facade cassettes from Lindab painted in the correct, dark blue colour.
“The Blue Box concept will ensure that Peugeot’s
dealers throughout the world have an exclusive and
uniform appearance,” says Susanne Christensen,
ID and Blue Box manager at Peugeot Denmark’s
importer K.W. Bruun Import. “It will give the customers a unique experience when purchasing a car
and thereby provide optimum support for our sales
activities and the Peugeot brand.”
Peugeot Denmark is now encouraging all Danish
dealers to make use of Lindab’s facade cassettes.
Moreover, the solution should also be available for
Peugeot dealers in Sweden. Peugeot is anticipating
a further 10-12 dealers to sign up to the Blue Box
concept during 2013/2014.
“The straight lines and modern design of the
facade cassettes are ideal for the concept,” says
Nicolaj Pergi, Lindab. “Furthermore, the solution
has a number of details that reinforce the exclusive
impression, for example, the fixings and upper
edges of the facades are entirely concealed. The
finishing touch is naturally the fact that the facade
cassettes are painted in the correct Blue Box colour, completing the impression. We are now hoping
for new supplies of Blue Box facade cassettes for
both Denmark and Sweden.”
Lindab’s facade cassettes are absolutely ideal for
both refurbishment and new builds, and in addition to the architectural benefits, have a very stable
and durable construction, giving them an elegant
robustness and a long service life. “Both the actual
facade cassettes and the fittings have a material
thickness of 1 mm, which is markedly thicker than
most other alternatives,” Nicolaj Pergi continues.
“Together with the chamfered top edges, which enable dirt to be easily washed off when it rains, they
are simple to maintain.”
“Lindab’s solution really matches the requirements placed on aesthetics and quality by our Blue
Box concept,” concludes Susanne Christensen.
“We are looking forward to our dealers’ premises
now increasingly supporting and reflecting Peugeot’s new, global brand identity.”

Consolidated German
position with old and new partners
IN GERMANY, Lindab has traditionally been associated with the
group’s ventilation and steel buildings
products, however the position of the
Building Components business area in this
important market is gradually also being consolidated. “It involves
both old relationships and
completely new collaborations,” says Ralf Rexin,
regional manager at
Building Components,
Lindab Germany. “Our
long standing relationships
with the small house manufacturer ScanHaus Marlow and the
builders merchants chain Toom
are good examples of this, but
so is our new collaboration with
Jorkisch, one of Germany’s largest manufacturers of garages,
carports and potting-sheds.”
With its head office in the North
German town of Marlow,
ScanHaus Marlow, is one of
Germany’s leading manufacturers of energy-efficient buildings,
with an annual volume of over
600 houses. “We have been supplying Rainline roof drainage for their
house production for over 15 years and
we have succeeded in building up a highly
successful collaboration with them,” Ralf
Rexin continues.
The collaboration with the builders
merchants chain Toom and its 370 outlets
throughout Germany also extends back
over the past 15 years. “We supply products to Toom from our
Coverline and Topline ranges
and there too we have built up
a really successful collaboration
that just grows and grows,” Ralf
Rexin explains.
The well-known company,
Jorkisch, has been using
a large number of Lindab
products in its manufacture
of garages, carports and
wooden potting-sheds since
2012. Lindab’s doors, Coverline
and Rainline products, are consequently in Jorkisch’s catalogue, which has a print-run
of over half a million. “It has
to be said that Lindab has
been cultivating us for a
long time and it now feels
great to be able to present
market-leading steel solutions such as Lindab’s SRP
Click-roof, particularly as our
competitors only have felt roofs to offer,” says Sven Lippert, Jorkisch’s CEO.
Simple with Lindab Inside
EXTENDING THROUGHOUT the heart
of Turin’s historic and cultural centre is
Via Roma, the city’s principal shopping street
and address for cultural heritage buildings
such as the Palazzo San Carlo. Until now there
have been no residential properties at all in
these blocks, however, the recently completed
New Palazzo San Carlo project has included
converting parts of the large building into
apartments. As part of this project, Lindab has
supplied a complete indoor climate system for
homes using the Lindab Inside concept.
1
The French property company Nexity specialises in luxurious property developments
in top locations in French and Italian cities,
of which New Palazzo San Carlo is a typical
example.
In conjunction with the designer, Al Engineering, and the installation contractors,
Tecno Engineering, Lindab has supplied a
complete ventilation system that can be simply
integrated in the building. “The challenge was
to supply a system that would surpass even
the most stringent EU energy standards, but
which would also be possible to install simply
and discreetly in the sensitive buildings,” says
Luca Bovolenta, Lindab. “With our technical
expertise and Lindab Inside we were able to
tackle it with no major problems.”
“The aim was to create first-class accommodation with an extremely energy-efficient
ventilation system, at the same time as
retaining the form of this historically important
building,” explains Andrea Chieregato, Tecno
Engineering. “In the light of Lindab’s high-level
technical expertise, we were convinced that
they would deliver a complete and quiet solution that meets all requirements. Everything
has gone splendidly and occupation of New
Palazzo San Carlos’ 90 luxurious apartments
will soon commence.”

TAKEDA IS A global, research-oriented company
that focuses on medicines. The pharmaceuticals
company Nycomed has recently been incorporated in Takeda, which means that the group’s strong
positions in North America and Asia are now being
supplemented with a distinct presence in Europe and Russia too. As
an element in Takeda-Nycomed’s
focus on the Russian market, construction of a
completely new production plant in the Russian
city of Yaroslavl commenced two years ago Lindab
Buildings has designed and supplied all buildings
for this plant: four multi-storey buildings for production, packing and administration etc., a large
high bay storage facility and a number of technical
buildings, with a total area of 23,800 m2.
“Completion of this highly ambitious project in our
most rapidly expanding new market means that we
are now able to supply locally produced medicines
to patients and hospitals throughout Russia,” says
Yasuchika Hasegawa, MD and group chief executive of Takeda Pharmaceutical.
“Takeda is the first large international pharmaceuticals company to invest in a world-class
plant here in Yaroslavl’s pharmaceutical cluster,”
says Sergey Yastrebov, Governor of the Yaroslavl
region. “Their collaboration with Lindab Buildings,
among others, will lead to hundreds of new, highly
qualified jobs in the region!”
The extensive project came in entirely on budget
and on schedule, and meets the highest possible
environmental standards.
A Belarusian success story. This is undoubtedly how to describe Shate-M Plus. It all started
in a small cellar in 1995 when
the founder, Konstantin Shavel,
2
began selling auto parts to a market hungry for
spare parts. Today the company is the leader in its
sector, with distribution throughout Belarus to over
3,000 customers, car repair shops and local distributors. “Even though we have been gradually expanding our premises since the start, we increasingly felt the need for larger and more purpose-built
new premises,” says Oleg Krupenin, at Shate-M
Plus. “We contacted the Stalnye Zdanija company,
which had a very good reputation as a result of
a number of successful turnkey deliveries of very
high quality buildings.”
Stalnye Zdanija has been an established Lindab
Builder for 4 years and was able to offer Shate-M
Plus a building solution in steel that met all requirements in terms of quality, cost and time, but also
enabled the architectonic idea to be realised. “The
steel building system from Lindab allowed us to
rapidly present a solution which effectively met
Shate-M Plus’ requirements, entirely tailored and
adapted to their needs and naturally in the form
of a turnkey delivery,” says Kurkin Vasiliy of Stalnye
Zdanija.
Today the 7,200 m2 distribution centre with
warehouse and office is fully operational and
with its red frontage and glazed office tower has
become a familiar landmark in the town of Privolny,
just outside Minsk. “Stalnye Zdanija and Lindab
turned out to be a highly successful choice for us,”
concludes Oleg Krupenin, at Shate-M Plus. “Today
we have a functional, beautiful building that is
entirely in accordance with our brand position here
in Belarus.”

EASY FOR EVERYONE
Far from all participants
had experience of duct
installation, but SR Cutter
makes it easy for everyone
to cut and subsequently
install ducting.
THE TRADE FAIR “BE POSITIVE”, which took
place 19-22 February in the French city of Lyon,
was entirely focused on energy and sustainability
issues from a structural engineering perspective.
The consulting firm ALLIE’ AIR, which specialises in
ventilation and acoustics technology, was commissioned by the arrangers of the trade fair to organise a themed day with the aim of increasing the
industry’s awareness of the problems created by
inadequate tightness in ventilation systems.
“We decided to contact Lindab, world leader in
ventilation technology, with the idea of jointly designing and running a practical workshop on this,”
explains Anne-Marie Bernard, CEO of ALLIE’ AIR.
“Not unexpectedly, Lindab’s reaction was very positive and the event as a whole was a great success.”
on the building’s properties, and not least on the
comfort and health of the occupants. “We subsequently got the participants to install the three different systems using the Lindab SR Cutter cutting
bench,” explains Benoit Golaz. “This enabled the
participants to experience the differences and advantages of the different systems and on completion of each session they all noted that the Safe and
Safe Click systems delivered the tightest solutions.”
Measurement using the LT600 leakage tester
took place according to the SS-a 12237 standard.
“Furthermore, it was made clear to the participants
– contrary to the prevailing preconceived ideas –
that sealed ventilation systems do not entail any
extra cost, either in terms of time or money,” Benoit
Golaz concludes.
Over a number of workshop sessions, the visitors
to the trade fair had the opportunity to practically
construct three different systems – Lindab Vent with
sealing compound, Lindab Safe with rubber seal
and screw fixing, and Lindab Safe Click with rubber
seal and click fastener. ”Fortunately we were able
to gather a large number of participants during the
day, which demonstrates a new awareness and
changed attitudes within the area,” says Benoit
Golaz, Lindab.
“Tightness issues in relation to ventilation
systems have really come to the fore through the
markings BBC+, CERQUAL and HQE, and through
the new regulationsRéglementation Thermique,”
observes Anne-Marie Bernard. “A clear indication
of this was the number of workshop participants,
completely exceeding our expectations.”
“The participants, mostly technical consultants,
energy advisers and product developers, were
highly appreciative of the entirely new structure of
the workshop. A lot of interested visitors stopped
at the stand, some for more than half an hour, to
watch the participants, and then returned in large
numbers to the decisive airtightness test,” concludes a satisfied Anne-Marie Bernard.
The involvement and great interest from the public immediately stimulated the ECOBAT trade fair in
Paris to repeat the workshop there. In late March
ALLIE’ AIR and Lindab succeeded in achieving the
same convincing results there. Three cheers for
sealed systems!
Each workshop session started with a presentation of relevant rules and regulations and the ways
in which inadequate tightness has a negative effect

Premiere:
Lindab Mobile Shop
ONLINE SALES accounted for a
total of 20% of Lindab Denmark’s
sales within ventilation in 2012, however. the
target for 2013 is to reach 25%. “The explanation for this is that we recently supplemented our
webshop with Lindab Mobile Shop for smartphones,” says Puk Spencer, Lindab. “We want
to be the industry’s most available supplier for
all our customers. Whilst fitters and electricians
rarely have a PC with them, they nevertheless
need to place orders, make purchases or find out
product information simply and easily. Through
Lindab Mobile Shop we are now giving them
access to the same functions and range of goods
as in our webshop, but now also directly on their
smartphones.”
The Danish Lindab
Mobile Shop was
launched during March
and comprises products from Lindab’s ventilation range. “During
the year England,
Norway, Sweden and
Finland will also be launching our mobile webshop,” explains Camilla Andreasson from Lindab.
“As we are rolling out Lindab Mobile Shop in
stages, we can utilise previous experiences and
improve the service. With Lindab Mobile Shop
we are increasing our availability and thereby
facilitating people’s working lives and simplifying construction, for all our customers who are
‘on the go’.”
Camouflaged Rainline
IF THE COLOURS “Bamboo Light Brown”
and “Palm Tree” had been available in
Rainline’s palette, the installation in the Soneva
Kiri resort on the exclusive Thai island of Koh
Kut might have proceeded even more quickly.
“However, the owner of the resort, who also
has other facilities in the Maldives and the Greek
islands among other locations, wanted Soneva
Kiri to really live up to the expectations that the
resort creates,” says Niclas Torsell at Swedish
Rain Gutter, Lindab’s Thai distributor for Rainline.
“The choice has quite simply been made to
‘camouflage’ all roof drainage at Soneva Kiri and
let loose the paint pots, string and bamboo, as
well as leave the spirit level at home. The feel that
has been created is undoubtedly fantastic, and
everything works just as it should.”
Soneva Kiri Soneva Kiri tested a number of
roof drainage systems itself before immediately
selecting Lindab’s Rainline, and Swedish Rain
Gutter has now supplied a number of metres of
guttering for the installation. It can actually rain
in Thailand!
Face-lift for Cluj Palace
CLUJ PALACE IN CLUJ, Romania is once
again the pearl it was when architect Lajos
Pakey designed it as the city’s casino in 1897.
Since then it has had a range of uses, becoming
increasingly dilapidated. “The building, occupants
of which have included Cluj’s Academy of Art,
became a symbol for the city and needed to be
brought back to life,” says architect Adrian Borda
who has had partial responsibility for the extensive
refurbishment. “With a beautiful 2,200 m2 copper
roof from Lindab, newly cleaned frontages and
major work internally, Cluj Palace is radiant once
more, now as a cultural centre.”
“Together with Lindab we had the privilege
of selecting the technical solution for the roof,”
says Gheorghe Ricean at the Lindab Partner
GeoConstruct. “We are always secure when
Lindab is involved, and this delivery of about
10 tonnes of Seamline sheet copper was no
exception. Moreover, together with their partner
Alldach, the company came up with a highly
effective solution to attach the roof domes.”
Lindab Solo – save
up to 45% energy
WITH LINDAB SOLO, Lindab is launching a simple, but nevertheless effective and
completely new, way of dealing with ventilation,
cooling and heating. Behind the product idea is
the knowledge that rooms in the south-facing
part of a building often need cooling, while rooms
in the north-facing part need heating.
“As the first active chilled beam on the
market, Solo delivers high temperature cooling
SOLO Optimal energy
recovery for the entire
building in a single contiguous solution.
and low temperature heating in a single contiguous system,” explains Göran Hultmark, Lindab
Comfort. “By recirculating the building’s water in
a Solo-system, the return water can be mixed
and distribute cooled or heated water to the
parts of the building that need it. It enables Solo,
together with the specially developed beam,
to create a natural energy balance through a
constant flow of water without needing valves,
regulators or room sensors. In combination with
free cooling, Solo delivers energy savings of up to
45% and both lower installation and maintenance
costs.”
In combination with a cooling plant, Solo
delivers a 20-30% higher COP value compared
with conventional chilled beam systems. “Solo is
quite simply about optimally utilising recovered
energy, and is thus a very interesting addition to
Lindab’s arsenal of energy-efficient green solutions for tomorrow’s construction,” concludes
Göran Hultmark.
The aesthetic
Atrium Plana
ATRIUM PLANA IS a new and very
discreet panel solution from
Lindab. “Atrium Plana’s
superior cooling and
heating capacity
makes it the perfect
replacement for traditional radiator systems,” says Göran Hultmark. “The product
creates an excellent indoor climate by virtue of
the fact that the panel’s respective radiant cooling and radiant heat provide a very high level of
thermal comfort.”
Atrium Plana’s aesthetic design provides a
discreet solution that harmonises with the roof.
Extremely low weight and smart installation options
also provide for simple and fast installation.
