The ventilation solutions were engineered through precise airflow simulations to maintain a consistent indoor climate throughout all spaces. The tall climbing and skate halls presented a particular challenge requiring exceptional accuracy in air distribution to ensure pleasant conditions at breathing height without drafts or temperature stratification. The restaurant area employs demand-controlled ventilation to optimize energy consumption while maintaining kitchen thermal conditions. Climecon products were chosen primarily for their Finnish origin, high quality and responsible production.

The thorough renovation of Hämeenkylä School prioritised energy efficiency, comfort and an improved indoor climate. The teaching facilities required high draught-comfort criteria, low noise levels, control of large air volumes and easy cleaning. ROX and ROX-S nozzle ducts were chosen for the classrooms thanks to their adjustable throw pattern for future changes of use, their ability to accommodate higher suspended ceilings for an airier environment, and their smooth surfaces that make maintenance simple. The school's kitchen serves around 1,500 lunches a day. CleanMaster solutions with vacuum UV purification were used for efficient grease breakdown and heat recovery. Ceiling ventilation solutions, StandardPlus dishwashing hoods and supply and exhaust air devices with grease filters manage the kitchen air quality, while air purifiers address sewer-ventilation odours.

A century-old building on Porvoo's central square was given an ambitious renovation, opening in 2021 as a boutique hotel that honours its history through modern design. It offers guest rooms, meeting spaces, lounges, a high-class restaurant and spa facilities. Climecon air terminal devices and kitchen ventilation were chosen to maintain excellent indoor air quality across these varied spaces while complementing the hotel's refined character. Low ceiling heights in the lobby and dining area called for carefully positioned diffusers able to deliver enough air without creating draughts, while the restaurant kitchen needed efficient extraction and air purification to support good working conditions - with warm, DALI-compatible lighting.

Imperial College's White City campus was Climecon's first major project in London, featuring research laboratories and open-plan spaces. The facility posed exceptional ventilation challenges because of its unusually high density of fume cupboards with substantial extract flow rates, which required correspondingly large supply air volumes while keeping air movement velocities to a minimum. The laboratories called for an innovative approach to air distribution, with many services exposed in the ceiling. A critical constraint was that air velocities above 0.3 m/s would trigger fume cupboard alarms and shutdowns. Climecon developed a bespoke ROL/ROX nozzle duct combination to distribute exceptionally large air volumes evenly and without draughts. This tailor-made solution was rigorously tested at the VTT research facility, including full mock-ups of rooms and fume cupboards, to validate its performance. The units were delivered floor by floor using a just-in-time method, enabling completion on schedule and within budget.

The Myyrmanni Shopping Center underwent a major renovation focusing on energy efficiency, comfort, and technology renewal. A new Prisma hypermarket covering approximately 7,000 square meters across two floors replaced the former S-market location.
