VDI 6022: Setting The Standard For Hygienic Ventilation
The VDI 6022 hygiene standard defines how ventilation systems must be designed, maintained, and operated to ensure clean, healthy indoor air. From material selection and filtration to accessibility for cleaning and ongoing inspections, it sets clear requirements to prevent contamination and microbial growth.
Widely recognised across Europe, VDI 6022 plays a key role in protecting occupant health, enhancing system performance, and supporting long-term HVAC reliability.

BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method)
BREEAM is one of the world’s leading sustainability assessment methods for planning projects, infrastructure and buildings. It provides a guideline that helps designers, developers and building managers achieve a high environmental performance standard. With sustainability being at the forefront of all construction in the modern world, BREEAM is the most comprehensive guide to follow when planning any future project. It helps to ensure that buildings reduce waste and pollution, save energy, and improve air quality – all of which align with the United Nations’ sustainability goals.

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
LEED is a widely used global green building rating system outside of Europe.
Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the program evaluates a building's environmental performance and provides a framework for healthy, highly efficient, and cost-saving green buildings.
