EPBD unpacked - Why indoor climate and energy efficiency must be addressed together

Happening online | 20 November 2025 | 15:00-16:00 (CET)

Lecturers: Pawel Wargocki, Andrei Vladimir Lițiu, Andreas Martinsson Björkdahl, Åsa Norén Lundh & Mikael Börjesson

For decades, focus has been on making buildings energy-efficient, however, buildings must also support the health, comfort and productivity of the people inside. It must be ensured that the indoor environment is inseparably linked to energy efficiency – for every person and in all buildings. This is why integrating indoor environmental quality (IEQ) into the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) is a crucial part of European building policy. Thus, highlighting the importance of indoor environment quality being equal to energy performance.

Change is coming — are you ready?

Mirko Sauvan, Louna Laurila, Mikael Börjesson & Åsa Norén-Lundh

The building industry must contribute to reaching global climate targets. This Swegon Air Academy webinar will address the need for new ways of doing business to minimize embodied carbon in technical installations in buildings. The speakers will link IEQ, embodied and operational carbon, EPDs, and circularity in building installations, and give an outlook for future strategies in circularity.

Are buildings with low humidity really healthy buildings?

Walter Hugentobler, Pawel Wargocki, Timo Schreck & Mikael Börjesson

The indoor relative humidity levels sometimes drop as low as 10-15% during winter (indoor humidity of 40-60%). Facts, research and findings from the perspective of medicine, indoor environmental quality and building systems, including HVAC & ventilation.

Acoustics in Ventilation — Taming the low frequency roar

Tony Olsson, Martin Ottersten & Åsa Norén-Lundh

The role of ventilation is to maintain air quality and comfort for building occupants; however, sound control — low frequency, especially infrasound — is becoming one of the biggest challenges in the HVAC industry. So, how can we control something that we cannot hear?

How to optimize indoor climate and improve comfort

Åsa Norén-Lundh & Mikael Börjesson

Regarding a certain comfort in our daily lives in indoor environments, the requirements and performance of buildings have never been higher. Factors impacting the comfort are temperature, air speed and relative humidity. How can we, by utilizing ventilation in combination with the building construction, make sure that we meet demands for both comfort and energy efficiency?

How an Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) focus is a competitive advantage to the real estate sector

Johan Hägg, Rick Aller, Magnus Andersson & Malin Höij

The Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) standard is used to evaluate a company's sustainability impact. Can the indoor environment be part of the Social and Governance?

Lowering energy consumption without compromising comfort

Åsa Wahlström, Ida Bryn, Carl-Ola Danielsson, Nicklas Svensson & Åsa Norén-Lundh

How do we reduce energy consumption without compromising the indoor climate? Our experts will discuss overall strategies and recommendations on what impacts you may need to consider for people and buildings. In this webinar, we will focus on non residential buildings such as offices, schools, shopping malls and hotels, etc.

EPD/LCA — Possibilities from a HVAC installation and lighting perspective

Mirko Sauvan, Anders Fransson & Åsa Norén-Lundh

Life cycle assessment (LCA) and environmental product declaration (EPD) contribute to increasing the accuracy and transparency of environmental impacts (CO2 footprints) of products and the building industry as a whole.

Indoor climate — A key factor to perform on top

Malin Höij & Christoffer Lindström

To be able to perform on top it is of utmost importance to let the body recover and have a healthy lifestyle. Get an insight into the lives of some of the top biathlon athletes in Sweden. We are proud to present to you this webinar as a close collaboration with the Swedish Biathlon National Team representatives.

Visualising the Invisible — Acoustics

Tony Olsson & Martin Ottersten

Acoustics constitute an important part of the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) in a building, with the ability to impact our health and well-being as well as productivity in both positive and negative ways. Acoustic demands of today and how to interpret them, including future research and development.

Visualising the Invisible — Ventilation

Caroline Jacobsson & Åsa Norén-Lundh

When looking at ventilation, we want to make sure that we meet demands for both comfort and sustainability targets, and keep a good energy efficiency. Explaining technical ventilation principles to increase comfort, efficiency and well-being through ventilation.

Visualising the Invisible — Comfort

Mikael Börjesson & Åsa Norén-Lundh

People want to feel comfortable indoors. Comfort refers to how we feel in indoor environments, encompassing temperature, humidity, and air speed. The good indoor climate supplied by the HVAC system needs to suit all occupants and building owners.

Visualising the Invisible — People

Dene Kent, Åsa Norén-Lundh & Caroline Jacobsson

How do we know that the air we breathe is clean, fresh and of good quality? What does the air we breathe actually contain? We will explain what the indoor climate means for people, how to measure it and explain the indoor climate within all demands.
