Lindab simplifies energy-efficiency refurbishment
The majority of apartments in the so-called Million Programme, i.e. the approximately one million flats that were built in Sweden between 1965 and 1975, are now in urgent need of refurbishment and improved energy-efficiency. Energy efficient ventilation is a key part of this work. Lindab has developed InCapsa, a smart all-in-one solution where the ventilation installer performs the entire job, both the installation and the decorative covering of the duct systems.
Lindab's patent-pending refurbishment system, InCapsa, consisting of Lindab's renowned duct systems and discreet covering in white-lacquered steel, has been tested during the autumn with very good results. The system has many advantages compared with traditional duct coverings. The tests have shown that it is five times faster to install than traditional methods. The work can be undertaken by a single professional and the work is completed in one go, meaning that there is no need for tenants to move out while the work is taking place.
Business Area Manager for Ventilation, Nils-Johan Andersson, comments:
"It is becoming increasingly important to build tight and ventilate right, in order to comply with EU-directives regarding energy-efficiency in buildings. We are continuously striving to simplify processes for our customers and InCapsa is an excellent example of this. The InCapsa system means that the ventilation installer has the full responsibility to make an aesthetic and energy-efficient ventilation installation, which benefits all parties."
"InCapsa is the result of customer-focused innovation to simplify construction for property owners and ventilations installers, while at the same time we are contributing to a more energy-efficient building stock."
