We have a perfect indoor climate now!

Imagine a factory hall so hot it feels almost unbearable, with temperatures soaring over 40°C in the summer. This was the reality at Danish manufacturing company, Sky-Light, until the company implemented a new solution to improve their indoor climate.
Sky-Light faced stagnant air and high temperatures in their production halls due to process heat. This created an unsatisfactory indoor climate, negatively affecting productivity and employee satisfaction.
Summer temperatures often exceeded 40 degrees, with significant variation across different zones in the production area, necessitating substantial improvements in air circulation.
“I joined Sky-light 5 years ago, and from the start, it was clear that managing the high temperatures was a critical task for me. The hottest spots were around the process equipment. The air didn’t move, creating almost unbearable conditions.”

In 2022, Maintenance Manager Allan Schultz Møllgaard opted for a game-changing decision: installing an HVLS fan from Danish company Nordicco.
“We started with one fan over the most challenging area,” Allan explains. The success was so significant that additional fans were soon installed in another production zone.
The effect was immediate: “It works really well! We haven’t had a single employee complain about the indoor climate since,” Allan says. “Previously, there was a big difference between zones in here. That’s no longer the case.”
The HVLS project made the summer months much more comfortable, improving air circulation and lowering temperatures in the manufacturing facilities. On hot summer days, the outside temperature can now be maintained inside the production area – even with added process heat.
During winter, Allan uses the fans to move heat from the ceiling down to the employees, keeping them warm: “I run the fans in reverse in the winter to bring the heat from the ceiling downwards,” he explains.
Overall, Allan describes the change post-HVLS project as:
