Lolland municipality has decided to invest in Northern Light® for disinfecting large sports facilities while securing energy savings and reduce CO2 emissions.
The Municipality has around 40,000 inhabitants and covers an area of almost 900 square kilometres. Their technical department has the responsibility of maintaining all the public buildings from smaller offices to large sports facilities and arenas.
Nordicco Northern Light® HVLS fans have integrated upward-illuminating UVC light on top of the air blades that disinfect air and eliminate airborne viruses. Technical Service Team Leader, Lotte Lem, saw the product in the news during the corona pandemic.
The Municipality plans for the Northern Light® fans to be installed in nine sports facilities right after the Summer of 2021. The municipality has chosen a local electrician to install all of the fans, as they are prepped for easy and fast plug-and play installations.
”We live in a world, where especially the COVID pandemic has taught us to get accustomed to the fact that bacterias and viruses are airborne threats. An invisible airborne threat.
Now, we have minimised airborne threats with the installation of the Northern Light fans.
But the we are happy that the fans not only secure clean air , but also move unused heat at ceiling level down to the floor to help us save energy.“
To achieve a better indoor climate; reduce CO2 emissions; and minimise the risk of airborne infections. Those are the goals in nine sports facilities in the Municipality of Lolland. This is possible because of the installation of Northern Light® HVLS fans.
“The Municipality’s mission is that all its actions illustrate the green transition and are the least damaging for the environment. Therefore, we are consistently looking for systems and solutions, which can reduce our energy consumption and CO2 emissions,” Lotte Lem explains.
One of the areas, where the municipality consumes a lot of energy in general, is in connection with heating and ventilation of sports facilities and arenas. To change this, they have now chosen to install Northern Light HVLS-fans.
“We have researched different opportunities to create a better indoor climate and to increase the overall user comfort in our facilities. But we had no doubt in our minds, when we were introduced for Nordicco’s big fans,” Lotte Lem says.
Furthermore, Lotte Lem explains than when Technical Service carries out energy improvements in one area, then the department can spend that money on the maintenance of public buildings.
“We have worked out the profitability created by the fans in nine sports facilities. These numbers show that the fans reduce our expenses significantly for particularly heating, which means that we save money that’s well spent on maintenance of our buildings. This way the users experience a higher standard and in the end, at better service. In many respects, it is a win-win situation,” she says.
Lolland Municipality has confidence in the efficiency of HVLS-fans and down the road, Lotte Lem believes that the fans can be found in more of the municipality’s public buildings than in merely sports facilities.
“Now with the assistance of the fans we can secure a way better temperature in our sports facilities and arenas. The challenge is that the heat rises to the ceiling, which the fans now press down towards the floor again. The fans also minimises the need for air condition and thereby reduces our CO2 emissions. This all fits well into our green transition.“
“When the schools and sports facilities open up again, we are prepared to secure a good and non-infectious indoor climate, which offers a generally better comfort for the students and users.“
