It is of very high importance that the ventilation system is

working correctly. Not only to make the people perform

their best and enjoy a superior indoor climate but also to

achieve a climate that makes the building stay healthy

and energy efficient. To accomplish this Lindab have

developed a series of smart tools to help the ventilation

technicians to deliver a perfect solution and create a very

good basis for everyone involved in the indoor environ-

ment such as the management of the building, the ten-

ants, the house owners, the consultants and the investors

to decide how to proceed with the improvements of the

indoor air quality.

Coordinated systems – from construction to inspectionThe advantage of a well performed ventilation system

is based on all the data in every single product and put

together in a intelligent way streching over the construc-

tion and the installation, the balancing and the handing

over process where the energy inspection takes place. The

goal is to get the optimal operating ventilating system.

All products and services can be found at Lindab.

• Software programs like CADvent, DIMsilencer and

DIMcomfort.

• The right product from a wide range of products.

• Simplified construction by using Lindab Safe Click.

• Efficient tools for montage, starting up the system and

inspection.

Measuring and testing equipment from Lindab deliver

rapid and reliable answers: Is the air flow, energy and

hygienic goals achieved? Was the balancing of the air

flow correct? Was the correct value documented? For any

questions, there is a Lindab precision device available to

deliver the results.

In the light of the increasing demand of energy efficient

buildings and interested building owners it is of outmost

importance that there is proper balancing and that the

flow rates complies with current standards and guide-

lines. Now Lindab helps you with smart tools for smart

energy efficient air conditioning systems.

Smoke Gun

DescriptionThe smoke gun SP makes it easy to find leaks in your

ventilation system. It is also very good for demonstrating

air flows, for example when controlling that your kitchen

fan works as it should. The smoke from the smoke gun is

not hazardous and the smoke gun only dispenses smoke

when the trigger is pulled. It is fuelled with oil that is very

easy to refill.

Advantages – SP•Makes it easy to find leaks.

•Makes it easy to demonstrate air flows.

•Easy to refill.

•No need for an open flame to generate smoke.

Which way does the supply air or exhaust air go? The

smoke gun shows you immediatly and accurate. It is easy

to handle and there is no doubt about the patterns of the

airflow.

Indoor Air Quality Meter CDL 210

DescriptionThe CDL 210 indoor air quality meter measures the CO2

level, the air temperature and the humidity and logs the

measured data. It is therefore ideal for the monitoring and

the evaluation of the interior climate in living spaces and

in commercial premises.

Advantages – CDL 210•Measures the CO2-level.

•Measures the air temperature.

•Measures the humidity.

•Logs data over time.

•Transfers data via USB.

•Easy to use.

The observations from CDL 210, Lindab indoor air quality

meter, is a very good basis for everyone involved in the

indoor environment and the management of the build-

ing, tenants, house owners, consultants and investors

to decide how to proceed with the improvements of the

indoor air quality

Present situationIn light of the recent discussion concerning the indoor

air quality in schools, apartments, offices etc and its

effects on people, the following questions should be

asked:

• Is the present indoor air quality healthy for the

people spending time there?

• Is the present ventilation adequate and can you

determine when to ventilate?

• Is opening a window sufficient ventilation or do you

need to install mechanical ventilation?

These questions can be answered by looking closer

at the indoor air quality and a measuring during a long

period of time and to have a clear documentation of the

situation, is very helpful.

Air quality parametersThe following three parameters carbon dioxide, tem-

perature and humidity are important parameters in the

indoor air quality and are measurable with the CDL 210.

The values given here is a simplification of a difficult

task. For more specific information regarding indoor air

quality Lindab recommend to read national guidelines

and regulations, European standards and existing litera-

ture.

CO2 concentration

Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless gas. People

exhale CO2 which contributes to CO2 levels in the air.

In some studies there has been evidence that elevated

concentrations of CO2 in the air can cause sleep prob-

lems, difficulty concentrating and headaches. In severe

cases it might even cause dizziness, nausea and

asphyxiation as it replaces oxygen in the blood.

Guidelines for indoor CO2 concentration:

<1000 ppm – hygienically harmless

1000–2000 ppm – hygienically notable

>2000 ppm hygienically unacceptable

Temperature

Most people are satisfied with an indoor temperature

between 18 and 21 C° but this varies with each indi-

vidual person and situation.

Humidity

Most people are comfortable with an indoor humidity of

40–50%.

The humidity must not be too low as this can irri-

tate the skin and the mucosa membranes. The humid-

ity should neither be too high as this can increase the

growth of microorganisms such as mould.

Measuring• Parameters are clearly presented on the display.

• Short term ventilation needs can be signaled with an

alarm function.

• Using the data logger a simple presentation with

diagrams can be made to be used as evidence in

the future discussion and decision.

• It is possible to record all three measurements –

CO2, temperature and humidity – every 10 minutes

for a month.

Due to the simplicity of equipment operation and the

compactness of the equipment you can place it wher-

ever you want and especially where you are worried

about damp damages or bad indoor air quality.

We are commited to making your life easier and our environment better.At Lindab our ambition is to simplify construc-

tion for our customers. We do that by design-

ing our products with smart features that

makes them easy to use. We are also working

on ways to reduce our impact on our environ-

ment and climate. We do that by developing

methods to produce our solutions using a

minimum of energy and natural resources, and

by reducing negative effects on the environment.

We use steel in our products. It’s one of few

materials that can be recycled an infinite

number of times without losing any of its prop-

erties. That means less carbon emissions in

nature and less energy wasted.

We have set three long term goals aimed at

reducing our impact on the environment and

the climate. These goals are based on EU’s

objectives for 2020 and mean that, taking

2008 as our starting point, we will:

• decrease energy consumption by 20

percent

• get 20 percent of our energy from renew-

able resources

• decrease greenhouse gas emissions by 20

percent
