FläktGroup in brief: products and EPD coverage

Who FläktGroup is in the market

FläktGroup designs and manufactures ventilation and indoor climate solutions across Europe and globally. They sit in most shortlists for comfort ventilation and mission‑critical cooling, with a footprint that reaches design consultants and contractors in both renovation and new‑build.

What they sell: the product map

Their catalog spans air handling units, air distribution and control, chilled beams, fans, fire safety and smoke control, filtration, and precision cooling for IT spaces. Think of it as a toolkit that moves, conditions, and controls air from plantroom to patient room. By our read they serve several product categories with likely hundreds of SKUs across regions.

EPD status at a glance

FläktGroup’s EPD portfolio is in the low double digits and growing, with coverage centered on selected air handling units, VAV dampers, valves, fan wall units, and active chilled beams. The company publicly noted new EPDs in 2025 for specific eQ air handling unit sizes, and highlighted the start of its EPD program in its 2024 Sustainability Statement (FläktGroup News, 2025) (FläktGroup Sustainability, 2025).

Where coverage looks strong

Air handling units in the eQ family feature multiple product‑specific EPDs. Certain VAV components and active chilled beams are also covered. For many building projects that prioritize ventilation plant with transparent impacts, that is a helpful starting point.

Likely gaps to watch

General ventilation fans, fire and smoke dampers, and broad air distribution accessories appear to have lighter coverage today. Precision cooling for data centers also looks early. That matters commercially when owners or GCs prefer product‑specific EPDs for materials credits in the ratified LEED v5 framework, which keeps EPD pathways in play for project teams evaluating options in 2026 design cycles (USGBC, 2025).

The spec risk, made concrete

Picture a tenant‑fit office where the AHU is covered by an EPD but several terminal devices or fans are not. Competitors like Swegon show AHU EPDs across common sizes, TROX publishes EPDs for various terminal units, and Systemair lists selected fans with EPDs. On projects that score materials credits or have internal carbon accounting rules, a missing EPD can nudge a substitution before price even enters the chat. It is small, but it is real, and it can definately cost a line on the schedule of values.

Typical matchups by application

In offices, education and healthcare, FläktGroup frequently faces Swegon and TROX on AHUs, terminal units and chilled beams, with Lindab often present on duct and distribution. In data centers and technical spaces, the comparison set expands to Airedale, Stulz and Vertiv for precision cooling, while fans and smoke control see Systemair and others.

What bid teams can do next

Treat EPDs like a product‑line roadmap, not a one‑off. Start where volumes and margin concentrate, then extend laterally to adjacent variants so submittals stay consistent across a whole package. Match the PCRs competitors use so results remain comparable for reviewers, and publish with a program operator your customers recognize. Pick a partner that takes the data‑collection burden off engineering and plant teams, because that is usually where timelines slip.

Closing thought

FläktGroup has credible momentum on core ventilation EPDs, and the path is clear to round out fans, fire safety and precision cooling. Manufacturers that land complete, product‑specific coverage do not just tick a sustainability box. They remove friction from every spec, which is exactly where wins stack up.
