HIFK Breathes Pure and Healthy Air with 129x Power
Thanks to Naava, you can sense the freshness of a jungle at Nordis, HIFK's home stadium.
Naava and IFK in Helsinki have come together and created conditions for all staff, players and fans for improved health and performance through naturally pure indoor air.
Since the air we breathe affects our performance and health naturally IFK chose the best indoor air solution: air purifying technology based on biotransformation.
“We took on Naava's promise on a significantly improved indoor air quality and we ended up getting Naava green walls in the players’ quarters, VIP restaurants and our office”, said Oy HIFK-Hockey AB’s CEO Jukka Valtanen from his red office, where now shines the greenness of nature.
Fresher air, better efficiency
For IFK, on top of its success in sports, it’s important to take the best of care over the players, team staff and fans. Soon to turn 50 years, Helsinki’s hockey stadium, also known as “Nordis” is a traditional “home cave” for the team. However, the age of the building brings its own challenges to indoor air quality.
Both the staff members and the players work long hard days, training and recovering at Nordis. As with all other aspects, IFK only the best for its indoor air. Naava's natural and over 100 times more efficient air purifying capacity guarantees optimal conditions and helps reach great achievements.
“I’ve experienced a significant improvement in the air quality in our office. The breathing air is fresh, and the Naava green walls look very good. All of this has had a tremendous impact on work comfort and efficiency."
Valtanen has now personally noticed the effects of good quality air. “I’ve experienced a significant improvement in the air quality in our office. The breathing air is fresh, and the Naava green walls look very good. All of this has had a tremendous impact on work comfort and efficiency.”
Reception worker Hanni Kuusisto has also seen the benefits of Naava. “The green wall gives of a notably fresher scent and it’s aesthetic features really brighten up the day”, Kuusisto acknowledges.
Naava helps Hanni Kuusisto to stay lively for the whole office day.
IFK recommends the choice of high quality indoor air
On top of the good indoor air and bright greenness, the collaboration between IFK and Naava has kicked off very well in all aspects. Naava has felt a warm welcome at Nordis and positive feelings are mutual, according to CEO Valtanen.
"Naava is an innovative and inspiring high tech firm with which the interaction has been both in very good spirit and problem-free, even fun."
Valtanen and IFK recommend Naava's solutions to all who wish to breathe high quality indoor air.
The partnership of IFK and Naava has only just begun and the bars are high in both courts.
