HVAC and building automation
Build sustainable and lifecycle-efficient HVAC solutions with our professional HVAC engineers. We are also your experts for heating, plumbing, ventilation and automation in industrial plants.

Your HVAC expert for construction and industrial projects
We act as your comprehensive building services partner from the start of your new construction, renovation, and industrial projects all the way to property maintenance.
Whether your construction project is private or public, office, residential or industrial, HVAC design plays an essential role in its success. Our versatile and experienced team of building services experts will ensure that your electrical systems, automation and safety systems work hand in hand with your heating, water and air conditioning.
Our building services professionals will ensure that your building has healthy, safe and comfortable indoor conditions, sustainable and life-cycle-efficient solutions, and lower investment and operating costs. We always start designing HVAC solutions based on the specific characteristics and intended use of the site, thus enabling smooth architectural and structural design as well as the building's operation far into the future.
We design the most suitable building services solutions for each site, utilising the technologies available on the market to enhance functionality and usability.
We pay attention to good and clean indoor air, stable and comfortable temperatures and uniform humidity, as well as to exhaust ventilation and energy efficiency.
Involve our HVAC experts right from the start of your project
Our building services experts will help you make decisions on the basic and major HVAC system solutions - technical routes, space allocation and heating solutions - from the very beginning of your project. This allows architects and structural engineers to make their own plans without unnecessary iterations.
We see HVAC engineering and expertise as a lifecycle service. We design and implement buildings to be as fit for purpose and functional as possible from the beginning to the end of their life cycle. Our HVAC experts will also assist you during the operation of the building.

Building automation brings life-cycle wisdom to new and renovated buildings
We design reliable and high-quality building and property automation systems for both new and renovated buildings. Our aim is to provide a complete solution that helps you get the best out of your technologies in terms of comfort, efficiency and the environment.
We act as a reliable partner and consultant from the very beginning of a building or real estate project. It is advisable to involve our experts in the project from the initial meetings to ensure that the possibilities and benefits of automation are fully considered before locking in major building services lines.
With building and property automation, you ensure energy efficiency and maintain good conditions for people. Our building services experts will engineer automation to increase the ease and control of your property's operation. Our automation expertise covers systems both inside and outside the building.
Control property automation and building services smart devices
All quality building services equipment has its own intelligence. As such, however, they are just individual devices that require manual control.
With professionally designed building and property automation, you control data and devices from a single interface. At the same time, the individual devices become an intelligent and optimised overall system that ensures good indoor conditions are maintained and often identifies problems in advance, such as not heating and cooling at the same time.
Our building automation experts will design a tool for you to centrally control and monitor building technology - heating and ventilation, lighting, locks and access control, as well as monitoring and alarm systems.
With building and property automation you control
- Ventilation
- Cooling
- Heating - including geothermal systems and other heat pumps
- Electricity
- Lights
- Locking and access control
- Alarm systems
- Defrosters
- Pumping stations
Industrial HVAC engineering with process understanding
Production facilities can either help or hinder production efficiency. We provide industrial HVAC design that understands the work and processes and ensures optimal conditions for both. Our industrial HVAC designers are familiar with different industrial sectors. They also have experience in demanding solutions for industries such as metals, plastics and food.
In industrial premises, both people and equipment have to be taken care of. We help to ensure optimal conditions for both workers and production machinery and equipment.
We always carefully familiarise ourselves with the production process of the plant. Our HVAC designers, who specialise in industrial processes, identify the needs of the production process and the work to be done, and design the heating, cooling and ventilation solutions that best support them. We focus on life-cycle choices that also help you improve the energy efficiency of your operations.
Our guiding design principles are the comfort and safety of the industrial environment. For workers, this means, for example, that the air is free of excess fumes and that temperatures are kept under control - for machinery, it means that the environmental conditions are designed to ensure that it works properly.
Together, we ensure that the different systems on the factory site do not collide, that the construction phase runs smoothly and that the production process once the plant is up and running is as efficient as it should be.
