Kinderhaven Børnehuset Himmelbjerget

Where comfort meets real-world impact

AtHimmelbjerg, a 1,500 m² kindergarten built in 1990, comfort isn’t anice-to-have — it’s part of keeping 100 children healthy, rested, and ready tolearn.

Togetherwith the municipality, we are turning one of their most used buildings into aquiet, healthy, and energy-smart space - without adding active cooling.

The challenge

Two roomswere central to daily life:

• A sleeping room, where noise and draft had to stay low.
• An activity room, where CO₂, heat, and glare often made theindoor climate drift out of balance.

Theexisting room-wise ventilation system couldn’t keep up.

One platform. Three actions.

Himmelbjergnow runs on three Climify layers — all connected, all working for the peopleinside:‍

1. Monitoring: High-resolution IEQ sensors track temperature, humidity, CO₂, noise,light, and presence in every room.

2. Human feedback:
   
   • Through simple buttons and our FeedMe app, staff share how they feel:hot, cold, stuffy, noisy, drafty, too bright, too dark.
   • Their feedback becomes a live “Comfort ID” that shapes how the systemreacts.

3. Action & Control: We control two new Panasonic room-wiseventilation systems and the external shutters installed in late 2025. Together,they:
   
   • Keep CO₂ low and noise down
   • Reduce glare during playtime
   • Precool rooms in the early morning to avoid overheating
   • Balance airflow during sleep time for quiet, fresh air
   • Adapt setpoints automatically from user comfort

Smart ventilation instead of active cooling

Withweather forecasts and predictive control, the building cools itself ahead ofwarm days by using ventilation and exterior blinds — keeping temperaturesstable without installing a cooling unit.

This isdigital retrofit in action.

Early results

Based onthe baseline and first interventions, the kindergarten is on track to meet itsproject goals:

• 20% less noise during occupied hours.
• 25% improvement in thermal satisfaction.
• FullAT and BR18 compliancy.
• Avoidedinstallation of active cooling.
• Room-by-roomindoor climate improvements with measurable gains for both staff andchildren.

Why it matters

When indoorclimate works, children sleep better, staff stress less, and buildings useenergy more wisely.
