Systemair ventilation system for new hospital complex in Narvik, Norway
The client greatly valued Systemair’s local presence and sales support.
The new Narvik department of the University Hospital of North Norway was completed in 2024. Adjacent to the hospital are an ambulance station and a health care centre. All three buildings are new and equipped with ventilation and fire safety solutions from Systemair. In the pre-project phase a consultant specified the ventilation functions required, and the contractors selected Systemair as their ventilation partner. Systemair, in turn, recommended installing Geniox air handling units at the heart of the systems.
Solutions optimised using SystemairCAD
The contractor and the consultant used SystemairCAD selection software, with support from Systemair, to optimise the ventilation solutions. Systemair's technical sales team provided expertise and conducted quality checks on the configurations.
Exceptional performance
One Geniox AHU achieved an exceptional Specific Fan Power (SFP) value of 0.75, for an operating theatre, ensuring optimal performance and energy efficiency.

Air handling units, duct fans and roof fans for comfort ventilation; smoke extract fans, with control systems, for fire safety ventilation.
In the hospital, comfort ventilation was required throughout, in offices, patient rooms, and waiting areas. However, the contractor also faced special ventilation needs for operating theatres, sterile areas, and the production pharmacy. Klimaservice, the contractor for the hospital and ambulance station, reports that they greatly valued Systemair’s local presence and sales support.

Systemair Geniox – a truly flexible system
Geniox Air Handling Units (AHUs) were chosen for their high energy efficiency, low noise levels, and capability to meet stringent technical specifications. Geniox is a modular platform based on standardised sections that fit seamlessly together, making numerous configurations possible.
The Geniox AHUs provide energy recovery rates of 83% and low specific fan power (SFP) values of 1.5. One AHU achieved an exceptional SFP value of 0.75, for an operating theatre, ensuring optimal performance and energy efficiency. For certain areas within the hospital, high filtration standards were essential, requiring up to three-step filtration systems.
Systemair also supplied fans and extraction arms for special areas around the hospital.

On-time delivery crucial
The customer had scheduled lifting cranes and other resources therefore the AHUs needed to be delivered on time to avoid costly delays in the project. These deadlines were met thanks to Systemair’s production flexibility.
The equipment was installed on a single technical floor of Narvik Hospital, and in the technical fan room of the ambulance station. The process went smoothly, starting with the first deliveries in July 2021 and concluding with the handover from the contractor to the building owner in September 2024.
On-site presence
Throughout this period, Systemair Norway’s Sales Manager David Brodawski visited the building site to ensure customer satisfaction and verify that the products met specifications.
All equipment including AHUs, fans, smoke extract fans and control systems were supplied by Systemair. This was important for the customer, as having a single trusted supplier simplified communication and logistics.”
