Munters receives Indoor Climate Award for reduced energy consumption

Munters was announced winner of the Swedish Indoor Climate Award 2006, for indoor climate, energy, ventilation and sanitation.

The award is issued to companies or organizations having developed a significant product or service for commercial purposes. To be deemed significant, the product or service should have an innovative feature and contribute to improved indoor climate quality and a long-term limitation of resource usage. The awarded technology is present in Munters sorption dehumidifiers and in the DesiCool system.
The jury’s motivation reads as follows: “The jury has appointed Munters AB as winner of the 2006 Indoor Climate Award. The award is presented for the technique of using rotating exchangers to transfer both heat and humidity. The technique has implied a great commercial impact within applications such as heat recovery, dehumidification and comfort cooling. In all these cases the technique provides a resource-efficient method of assuring high quality of indoor climate. The technique is well tested and by the vast utilization it saves a considerable amount of energy. Even though the technique is well-known today it was innovative at the time of introduction. An innovative technique which contributes to improvement of the indoor climate and reduces the use of electricity and heating, makes Munters a dignified recipient of the 2006 Indoor Climate Award”.
“We are very happy to receive this award confirming our leading position as a supplier of energy- and cost-efficient climate control solutions. Most of our products and service offerings actively contribute to a reduction in environmental loads for our customers”, says Munters CEO Lars Engström.

The price was founded in 2001 by Slussen Building Services in co-operation with the Ventilation & Air Handling Association, the Swedish Association of Air Handling Industries and the Swedish Society of Refrigeration.
