A healthier environment, a better quality of life
Good indoor air quality is one of the basic conditions for a healthy and comfortable environment. Fresh air and efficient air exchange contribute to better well-being, greater comfort and a healthier environment, whether at home or at work.
Better air quality, better sleep
Research has shown that good ventilation and fresh indoor air can contribute to better sleep quality and greater well-being.
Air quality affects concentration
Inadequate air exchange can cause a build-up of CO₂ and other pollutants that can affect concentration and performance.
Bad air is not always visible
Dust, pollutants and inadequate air exchange can affect the indoor air without us noticing.
Children are especially sensitive
Children are sensitive to indoor air pollution, as their respiratory systems are still developing.
Poor ventilation can cause a build-up of carbon dioxide (CO₂), particulate matter, moisture and other pollutants in the indoor air. Such conditions can affect concentration, sleep quality and the respiratory system. With good ventilation and the right solutions, air quality can be improved and a healthier environment created for the long term.
How does air quality affect your health?
The air we breathe has a direct effect on our health and well-being. Poor air exchange can cause a build-up of carbon dioxide (CO₂), dust, moisture and other pollutants in the indoor air. Such conditions can contribute to headaches, fatigue, reduced concentration and respiratory discomfort. With good ventilation and regular air exchange, pollutants can be reduced and a healthier environment created.
can affect sleep, concentration, the respiratory system and general well-being.
On average we spend about 90% of our time indoors.

What does the research say?
University of Iceland
Up to half of Icelandic homes have struggled with damp problems, according to research by Björn Marteinsson at the University of Iceland. The findings underline how widespread damp problems are in Icelandic buildings and how important it is to act before they lead to damage, mould and reduced air quality.
World Health Organization
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), occupants of damp or mouldy buildings are up to 75% more likely to suffer from respiratory symptoms and asthma. The findings show a clear link between damp, mould and health effects, and underline the importance of a healthy indoor climate for health.
Technical University of Denmark
The study shows that better ventilation and lower levels of indoor carbon dioxide can improve sleep quality, concentration and next-day performance. The findings suggest that air quality has a direct effect on how we sleep, think and work. A healthy indoor climate is therefore a basic condition for good health, well-being and daily performance.
