New ventilation technology combines historical style with a healthy indoor climate
In the middle of Aalborg, a 118-year-old building has been equipped with energy-efficient windows that, with the help of KRONE’s technology, ensure a healthy indoor climate while preserving the historical architectural style and elegant details.
The technology is called KRONE Vent and operates using vents at the top and bottom of the window, automatically drawing air into the residence. In the summer, air is directly admitted through the top vent, and when temperatures drop, the air is directed through a space created between the window’s two layers of glass. Here, the air is heated before being distributed in the home, helping to prevent issues like mould and ensuring a healthy indoor climate.
The developer in Aalborg had a strong desire to preserve the building’s original details, which makes the building unique. However, complying with the latest building regulations posed a significant challenge. KRONE embraced the challenge, and quickly managed to adapt and integrate the ventilation technology into a classic Danish flag window, fitting the house’s national romantic facade that the developer wanted to retain.
The fact that the window can now be used in older, historically significant buildings without compromising either architecture or a healthy indoor environment is a significant step in the right direction for KRONE.
