New report highlights global energy efficiency progress 🌍

The report published by the International Energy Agency (IEA) shows that energy efficiency progress recovers in 2021 but needs to double for net zero by 2050.

It also shows that:

💰 Government policies lift efficiency investments in the buildings sector.

🚌 Stronger buildings efficiency programs in Europe compensated for transport, where Covid-19 pushed down total spending.

🏨 The building sector is key to reaching net zero target.

Get more details on how energy efficiency develops and access the full report here 👉

According to the IEA, global energy demand is expected to increase by about 4% in 2021, returning to pre-pandemic levels as economic activity rebounds. The previous year was one of the worst ever for efficiency improvement, as energy demand and prices fell, technical efficiency enhancements slowed a...

Let’s take a minute to talk about healthy buildings and indoor climate…

Studies show that occupants of buildings with natural ventilation have fewer building-related symptoms, such as headaches and eye irritation. Health expenses for occupants are also reduced by about 0.8 - 1.3% while also reducing respiratory illness, like asthma and allergies by up to 90% 👨‍🏫👌

These numbers speak for themselves, so why not take the necessary steps to improve your indoor climate?

Get a better bottom line 💰

Fewer and less expensive components and construction work are some of the contributing factors that make automated natural ventilation the low-cost option for a better indoor climate.

Building life cycles cost (capital cost, operating cost and maintenance) are around 5 times cheaper with natural ventilation compared to mechanical ventilation, and 2.5 times cheaper with hybrid/mixed mode ventilation 👍

Furthermore, there is an estimated payback of as little as 1 year, and an average ROI of at least 120% for natural ventilation and mixed-mode systems, due to the energy, health, and productivity benefits.

See how your natural ventilation system can pay for itself:

From schools, to hospitals, to museums, and office buildings, natural ventilation contributes to positive health, wellness, and performance outcomes simply by reducing CO2 and helping people breath fresh air while indoors. Read about the research and business case below.

The temperature is rising.

Since the industrialization picked up speed in 1850, the global average temperature has increased by 1.1 degrees Celsius 👀

The list of effects this has on our climate is inexhaustible.

Luckily, we can all make a difference. As a globally operating company, we realize that our actions are impactful. Therefore, we take the necessary steps to counteract or hinder further damage on our planet.

Are you about the refurbish or retrofit a building?

Consider natural ventilation for a gentle solution that protects the building.

Retrofitting with automated natural ventilation can bring energy-saving 🌍 and healthy ventilation to historic or protected buildings without the need to break through walls and ceilings to make room for large ventilation units. Actuators can easily be installed when upgrading old windows to new ones. 👌

The refurbishment can also be completed very quickly, which allows the building occupants to have minimal disruption. This may also enable you to avoid relocation of the building users while renovation takes place.

High satisfaction among users of natural ventilation 🤩

Did you know that WindowMaster’s indoor climate control solutions can divide your building into different zones to more easily address occupant comfort? Users have the option to override the automatic control, meaning that the system allows occupants to meet their indoor comfort needs.

In air-conditioned buildings, only 50% of the occupants are satisfied, whereas in naturally ventilated buildings, 77% of the occupants are satisfied with indoor temperature.

Choose automated natural ventilation if you want to go low carbon 🌿👍

Buildings account for approximately 30-40% of total energy consumption. Intelligent natural ventilation has very low energy consumption and thus very limited CO2 emissions.

If you choose automated natural ventilation, you can save 24-71% on carbon emissions compared to mechanical ventilation 🙌

Why not use 100% of the building space on room for people?

With intelligent natural ventilation you can make full use of the entire building floor plate and height, as no space is required for large air handling units and equipment rooms. A mechanical ventilation system occupies up to 6.5% of a building’s floor area compared to only 0.2% for a natural ventilation system.
