Systemair has published its Sustainability Statement for 2025/26, outlining the company’s progress in reducing emissions, creating a supportive and attractive workplace, and strengthening responsible business practices. The statement also emphasizes the critical role of energy efficiency and the contribution of advanced ventilation systems to lowering building energy consumption while ensuring healthy and comfortable indoor environments.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has stated that the global pace of energy-efficiency improvements must double by 2030 if the world is to remain aligned with international climate objectives. Since buildings account for a substantial share of global energy consumption, improving the efficiency of ventilation systems can make an important contribution to reducing overall energy demand.
“Systemair is committed to continuous innovation in ventilation technology, with ongoing investment in the development and improvement of our products. Energy-efficient solutions remain a key priority, enabling us to enhance indoor air quality while helping reduce the energy required to operate buildings,” said Robert Larsson, President and CEO of Systemair.

Key Product and Innovation Highlights
Among the notable achievements during the year were:
- Next-generation axial fans: Systemair introduced a new range of high-efficiency axial fans capable of delivering energy savings of up to 21 percent under a typical operating scenario.
- Industry recognition: The integrated heat pump incorporated into the Menerga CO2mpass air handling unit received a prestigious industry award. The system uses R-744, a natural refrigerant with a global warming potential (GWP) of just 1.
- Demand-controlled ventilation: Systemair continued to expand its demand-controlled ventilation offering. When paired with Systemair’s SAVE units, advanced control technologies can reduce energy consumption by as much as 30 percent.
