The need for efficient and more sustainable building performance is an increasing concern in Europe and many parts of the world. The trend has had substantial implications in new buildings, as well as in the retrofit landscape in the context of building renovations and energy efficiency improvements. Governments, organisations, and individuals recognise the importance of retrofitting existing buildings to reduce energy consumption, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and improve overall sustainability.
The European Union’s Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) has set targets for energy efficiency improvements in buildings, which has led to increased retrofitting efforts, especially following the launch of the Renovation Wave initiative in 2020, which aimed to double the annual energy renovation rate of buildings by 2030. Additionally, many European countries have implemented building energy performance certification schemes to assess and rate the energy efficiency of buildings. These certificates provide information to homeowners, tenants, and potential buyers about the energy performance of a building and encourage retrofitting to improve energy efficiency. Examples include Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) in the UK and Energy Performance Certificates in France.
Against this backdrop, there is a need to raise awareness of how appropriate fan selection plays a critical role in meeting energy needs in retrofit initiatives and new buildings. Systemair’s Green Ventilation aims to provide a trustworthy environmental performance benchmark for its products as part of the company’s move to help customers find the optimal solution for their project needs. A critical aspect of Green Ventilation is a hands-on sustainability criterion for each product area, including fans.
Third-party certification
The importance of accurate and understandable technical documentation is essential to ensuring optimal functionality and efficiency of ventilation systems and facilitating fair product comparisons. Independent third-party organisations, like AMCA, play an important role in providing rigorous certification processes and building trust between manufacturers and customers. Thus, a critical benchmark of fan products with the Green Ventilation label is that they must be tested in an AMCA-accredited lab.
Fans carrying the green ventilation label have proven performance which is ensured through rigorous sound and performance product testing in one of our AMCA-accredited laboratories or one of AMCA’s laboratories.

Systemair has had a rich history with AMCA, reflecting its commitment to meeting the larger goal of raising standards within the HVAC sector. In 1996, Systemair’s laboratory in Skinnskatteberg, Sweden, became one of Europe’s first AMCA-accredited laboratories for testing fans for air performance and sound and for the air curtains for air performance, velocity uniformity and velocity projection. Since then, Systemair has added three more AMCA-accredited laboratories to its portfolio in Germany, India, and the USA.
