The winning project Canopea consists of four so-called Nanotowers, each of which consists of up to ten apartments. It is viewed as being the future’s answer to the housing requirements and challenges that exist in densely populated urban areas, where residents want to live in houses rather than apartments.

The towers are part of a self-sufficient energy system, and each apartment is equipped with Nilan’s Compact P solution. On top of the towers there are common areas with gardens and outdoor kitchens, which bring the house into the apartment.

”With our Compact P solution, we have delivered the equivalent of the building’s heart and lungs”, says Director of Exports Peter Sønderskov from Nilan. And this solution has been a dominant factor in Canopea having the best control of temperature, humidity and CO2 concentration, and thus having gained top marks as the building with the best indoor climate with the lowest energy consumption in mind.

The solution is innovative since ventilation, heat recovery, domestic hot water, heating and cooling is combined into one unit. This gives superior energy optimisation in both heating and cooling situations, and at the same time creates a unique indoor climate. Due to its small footprint the system can be used both in apartments and all sorts of single-family houses.

”Since our victory in 2009 we have worked hard to develop the solution and have amongst other things achieved passive house certification. We don’t rest on our laurels but persevere with the development of solutions since we live and breathe to be innovative”, says Peter Sønderskov.

Nilan is launching a new member of our popular Comfort series. The new and latest addition, Comfort CT300, has been passive houses certified and does already meet the coming 2020 requirements.

The new Comfort CT300 ventilation and heat recovery system is the new and latest addition to our popular Comfort series. The system is passive houses certified and does already meet the forthcoming and more toughen 2020 requirements regarding heat recovery and energy consumption. In terms of energy consumption, Comfort CT300 is in the top three among 66 equivalent passive-house certified systems. Comfort CT300 is perfect for all types of low-energy buildings with a ventilation requirement of up to 400 m³/h.

The optimised design makes it easier to install and service the system, as the measurement panel for balancing is located externally, and there is easy access to all components. The heat exchanger, fans and controls can all be removed just by loosening one or two screws. A newly designed G4 cassette filter can also be quickly accessed and replaced without requiring any tools.

Comfort CT300 can also include a CO₂ sensor, electrical or heating element, and a pollen filter. Comfort CT300 is for wall mounting in, for example, a utility room, where it can be installed in a cupboard or on the wall. Nilan’s Comfort series also includes models for horizontal installation in attic or ridges.
