Skawen Residential
A New Standard in Residential Energy Efficiency
Skawen Residential is a complete solution that literally gives older apartment buildings a new breath of life. It’s not just technology – it’s a new standard in energy efficiency that makes your building smarter, more sustainable, and more independent.
Elegance in Simplicity
Skawen Residential combines advanced heat recovery with integrated heat pump and heat accumulation technology, bringing the comfort and efficiency of the future into older buildings – with minimal structural changes and no heavy construction required
What makes the product different?
Skawen Residential is designed for practical use in real buildings – especially where low weight is required, space is limited, disruptions must be minimal, and long-term reliability is essential. Residential is built to be easy to install, safe, and scalable across similar housing types.
Composite casing – Exceptionally lightweight, between 120kg to 275kg, C5 corrosion-resistant, noise-absorbing, and fireproof for high durability without excessive weight. Modular design – Delivered in compact modules that can be quickly assembled on-site like LEGO bricks; perfect for tight or awkward (e.g. handling on roof) locations. Compact weight and rooftop profile – Discreet low weight design, can be installed directly on top of roof without reinforcements, barely visible from street level. Proprietary R290-based rooftop heat pump – Integrated with Residential heat recovery unit. High temperature output. Safe installation in open air. Simple piping and low installation cost compared to indoor alternatives.
Bypass recovery function – smart automation switches from heat recovery to passive mode when extra heat isn’t needed, avoiding overheating and saving energy. Bypass fire/smoke extraction function by-pass is used in case of fire to extract air from the building or to evacuate the smoke after the fire. Selectable in controls, depending on the local normative. Built for harsh conditions – Residential is designed to operate reliably in Scandinavian weather extremes – from freezing temperatures and high humidity to year-round heavy loads. Skawen Controller & IoT solution – 24/7 control and management of all functions of the solution. 20-year expected lifetime – Long-term performance with low maintenance cost. Proprietary Accumulator tank solution – Nimble and easy to install accumulator tanks for hot water and heating system. Remote software and control to flexibly manage integration with existing heating systems. Low or High back flow temperature control with 3 Way valve.

Skawen Residential Product Suite – Residential, Heat Recovery unit, Heat Pump unit and Accumulator tanks
Engineered and designed in Sweden, Residential is built to perform reliably in the harsh Nordic climate. It’s a compact and lightweight unit, suitable both for newer buildings and for smaller apartment buildings built in the 1950s–1970s that lack modern energy recovery systems. Residential is designed to be compact, quiet, and durable, with ultra-easy installation even in tight spaces where conventional units won’t fit. Delivered in parts and assembled on site, Residential adapts easily to densely built roofs or small technical rooms. Residential can be ordered as a standalone ventilation and heat recovery unit or as a complete energy solution including a heat pump and domestic hot water accumulator tanks. In the full setup, the system connects to the building’s heating circuit – significantly reducing heating costs and increasing energy independence. Its standardized design enables fast and efficient installation. Residential, Heat Pump and Accumulator Tanks are delivered in pre-assembled modules and assembled on-site. Installation takes just one day and requires minimal construction work. The unit is relatively light (up to 275 kg) and doesn’t require additional structural support. Thanks to its compact dimensions, the Residential HP is barely noticeable on the rooftop. The Residential product suite is designed to improve the energy efficiency of different types of buildings and boost the overall energy performance of residential properties. It’s a reliable choice that delivers real energy savings, long-term value, and dependable performance.
