Improving Comfort & Ventilation Efficiency in Swedish Sports Halls

HVLS ceiling fans supporting energy-efficient ventilation - A case from Lund Municipality

Lund Municipality has installed HVLS ceiling fans in several of its sports halls as a complement to the existing ventilation systems.

The installations were carried out in collaboration with the municipality’s external energy partner, Ventilationsförbättringar i Malmö AB, part of Instalco, and led by Contract Manager Martin Lekland.

The purpose of the installations is to improve air circulation in the halls and contribute to increased comfort for users and facility managers. All without making major modifications to the existing ventilation systems.

HVLS Ceiling fans as a Complement in Sports Halls

The HVLS ceiling fans, Northern Air Pro, contribute to more even air distribution and can improve the perceived temperature, particularly at floor level.

The solution is used as a practical complement to existing ventilation and can be adapted to both older and newer sports halls with different conditions.

Operation is monitored via Nordicco’s digital platform Northern Sky, providing the energy partner with insight into system performance and supporting ongoing operation.

The installations were completed in Q4 2025. They demonstrate how HVLS ceiling fans can be integrated as part of ventilation in small as well as large sports halls – with a focus on comfort, operation and flexibility.

Three Sports Halls – 3 Different Conditions

The installations in Lund include three sports halls:

  • Högevallsbadet, a large but older sports hall with a curved roof, where the HVLS ceiling fans contribute to improved air circulation and perceived comfort.
  • Bollhuset, with several smaller sports halls, where the solution functions as a support to the existing ventilation.
  • Lerbäckshallen, a modern and flexible sports hall with divisible areas, where users and coaches experience a clear difference in temperature and comfort at floor level.


Across the halls, both users and facility staff report a more comfortable indoor climate following the installations.
