We spend approximately 80% of our time indoors, and we can clearly feel when the indoor climate is not optimal. With diffuse ventilation, we can improve the indoor climate without disrupting the design.
The indoor climate creates the best conditions for our concentration, productivity, and general well-being. Therefore, it is more important than ever to consider the indoor climate right from the project’s start.
To make the indoor climate optimal, many factors come into play, including ventilation. Often, design, indoor climate, and sustainability do not align perfectly – but this is precisely what we are changing at DAMPA, where with our metal ceiling solutions, we can easily integrate diffuse ventilation.
Diffuse Ventilation Ensures a Good Indoor Climate
Diffuse ventilation is based on the principle that overpressure is created above the dense ceiling surface, after which the air is blown into the room through the perforation pattern in the metal ceiling surface. In this way, the ventilation is evenly distributed throughout the room, creating a noticeably better indoor climate.
This solution avoids the usual ventilation outlets that break the ceiling surface, achieving a uniform design without compromising the indoor climate, as Michael Nykjær, CEO at DAMPA, explains:
By utilising the acoustic perforation in the ceiling and the properties of metals, the design can easily be adapted to any design wishes, achieving synergy between design, sustainability, and indoor climate.
Through the properties of metal ceilings, it is thus possible to achieve unique advantages with the ventilation solution:
- Even air distribution without drafts creates a better indoor climate and comfort.
- Lower operational and installation costs, combined with the properties of metals, ensure an effective overall economy.
- Produced from circular and robust materials.
Metal – A Circular Building Material
DAMPA ceilings are certified through EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations) to have a lifespan of at least 50 years, partly due to the robustness of metals.
Moreover, it is through the circular properties of metals that we find significant environmental benefits, according to Michael:
It is no secret that metal is a heavy material to extract. However, this does not necessarily mean it is harmful to our planet. Once the metals are extracted, they can be reused and recycled repeatedly without losing their mechanical properties, while using significantly fewer resources when using recycled metal.
