Important results from the project
The climate crisis is the greatest challenge of our time. Healthy Homes introduces demand-controlled ventilation in domestic buildings with the aim to reduce climate impact while also improving indoor climate. The systems can be implemented in both existing houses and new buildings in a cost-effective way. With Vinnovas support we have been able to spread knowledge about the technologies and initiate collaborations. This has led to increased interest from curious pioneers to Boverket. Now we are confident that the company will carry on and become an important player in the industry.
Expected long term effects
The project has led to new contacts to reach more existing housing. A new sales channel has been established directly with the end customer. Training and marketing materials have been produced. It was decided that a seller eill be hired to process the regulatory framework (Feb 2020). Sales have increased around 100% since last year. The new strategy works better. Our participation in the research villa "Dalarna´s villa" has led to visits from the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and PhD students at Högskolan Dalarna. The undersigned has been invited to speak at the Nordbygg Fair
Approach and implementation
Participation/exhibition at three trade fairs; Fastighetsägarnas Energidag, BESMÅ och ExpoVent, lectures for professionals, industry organization for small-house manufacturers has generated some attention, but not so much sales. A consultant was hired for educational materials, marketing materials and to establish the new sales channel. Two trips were made to a partner in Belgium. The result was that together we will hire a salesperson to process regulatory steps.
