Last week, on march 21st, we talked about indoor climate and how to make it healthy. Representatives of various companies and specialists in their fields shared both the theoretical knowledge of a healthy indoor climate and offered solutions and tips on how to create the right microclimate indoors.
At the seminar RTU BIF Professor, LLU VBF and RISEBA FAD guest professor Arturs Lešinskis told the theory about building heating, cooling and adiabatic hosting:
“1.All people, regardless of their socio-economic status, have the right to breathe healthy, fresh air in the workplace and in the public. The quality of indoor air should stimulate productive work, training, and pleasure in relaxation.
- Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems shall be designed / built / serviced in such a way as to minimize the risk of exposure of indoor users to harmful gases, fumes and dust, whether or not they originate from outside the building.
- Professionals should make every effort to make the decision-makers aware of the importance of indoor air quality. Heating, ventilation and cooling systems cannot be designed / built / serviced based on maximum cost reduction principle.
- Heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems shall be designed / built / serviced to minimize energy consumption, but shall not be at the expense of providing air quality and comfort at the premises. “
(Arturs Lešinskis)
Uldis Strauts, representing Menerga, founded in Germany in 1980, said that the company has made many innovations in microclimate technology since 1980, such as indirect adiabatic cooling, an effective cooling principle found in nature. By evaporating water, it takes energy from the air, resulting in the air cools down.
Intellify Ltd. is the only company in Latvia that carries out a complete cycle of energy efficiency tracking and improvement of the building. The company has installed building management systems (BMS) in the Riga Motor Museum and CSDD building, monitors energy consumption and improves energy efficiency in sector C of the Vidzeme Hospital. In the Latvian National Museum of Art and the Latvian National Bioscope “Intellify” have also taken measures to improve energy efficiency. At a seminar on a healthy indoor climate, a company representative shared the news that the company introduced and what was still to be expected.
Intellify is a subsidiary of “Lafivents Serviss” Ltd. and a representative of the company gave an example on a service good practice.
SIA Arbo Windows spokesman told us about the impact of windows on indoor climate. A pleasant microclimate in the room can be maintained through ventilation. ARBO Windows produces windows with ventilation systems that not only provide fresh air in the room without dust from the street, but also fit perfectly into the interior of the room. Arbo Windows has been a member of the Green and Smart Technology Cluster since 2016.
The next seminar in a free seminar cycle is scheduled for April 4th!
The activity was implemented by the Green and Smart Technology Cluster, within the framework of the Cluster program (contract No. 3.2.1.1/16/A/016).
