1 Think about improving construction, comfort and climate. Think Less. We Simplify Construction

2 Why are we asking you to Think Less? Because less is more. Especially when you use Lindab building components made from steel. Steel is one of few materials that is nearly one hundred percent recyclable. That means less raw material used and less carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. Steel also allows us to design strong solutions that are still very light in weight. That means less effort required from you when erecting the buildings, less transportation costs to the site and less fuel used. Thanks to steel, we can also create effective insulation and ventilation solutions. That means less energy wasted. We simplify construction. We believe it s all about thinking less and keeping things simple. On the following pages you can read more about how we simplify construction for our customers within our three business areas Building Systems, Building Components and Ventilation and how we work to lessen the impact on the environment. The power of steel. As a building and construction material, steel is unbeatable. Not only is it strong and flexible, it s also one of few materials that is nearly one hundred percent recyclable. With the right protective layer, steel is unaffected by moisture and water and it doesn t change over time. In other words, it s an ideal material for roof and wall cladding products, wall structures and ventilation solutions. And no matter how many times it is recycled, it will never lose any of its properties. 2

5 Lindab Building Systems How to use less time and energy when building big. It doesn t matter whether it s a new storage facility, shopping mall, factory building or car showroom. When you need tailored buildings fast, easy and cost efficiently, Lindab Building Systems is the natural choice. With more than 40 years in the business, we ve gained valuable insights in how to plan, build and maintain large buildings while keeping costs and materials usage down up to 15 percent less steel is used. Thanks to our planning tools, you ll know exactly how much materials will be used, and you can even predict your future energy consumption. A Lindab building is very energy efficient. Not only because we use components made from steel, a recyclable building material, but also because the energy consumption in the final building is minimized thanks to smart ventilation and insulation solutions. We can also incorporate alternative energy sources in buildings, such as solar panels, thus making it even more sustainable. From the initial design to final construction and assembly, Lindab will help you make your new building a good investment. 5

6 Lindab Building Components How to spend less and get a greener house. From residential roofing products to rainwater systems and industrial wall cladding. Lindab supplies high quality building components for all purposes. But our offering is really about more than individual components. When you get our solutions, you get access to a complete portfolio where everything fits together. This means that the colors of our different roofs match with our rainwater system. It means that we design our solutions with smart features that help you get the work done faster. More importantly, we make our solutions from steel. That way we can make them light, strong and durable, so you can spend less money on transportation and maintenance. And because steel is fully recyclable, you not only lower your costs and work load with our solutions, you also lower your carbon footprint. 6

9 Lindab Ventilation How to achieve a better climate by wasting less energy. If you look up inside of a building and spot a circular air duct, it s likely to be part of a Lindab system. We design circular duct systems because the benefits are big compared to traditional rectangular systems. Less energy consumption, better operating economy and less noise are just a few benefits of doing so. This is possible because our round-shaped systems are airtight. Another big environmental benefit with this shape is that it uses 25 percent less steel than a rectangular system. At Lindab, we are continuously developing solutions that make it easier to create a healthy indoor climate and save energy. For instance, you can automatically have ventilation, cooling and lighting adjust to how many people are present in a room at a given time. We design our solutions from steel, a highly recyclable material that allows us to design thin, light products that require less material and less energy. In addition, emissions are held to a minimum. Whatever your ventilation needs may be, we not only give you the most reliable and economical solution available, you get our full support, smart tools and lots of advice as well. 9

10 Finding methods to make the world a bit better. At Lindab we use steel in our products because it is strong and ideal for use in long lasting construction projects. It s also a sustainable material that can be recycled over and over again without losing any of its properties. We are constantly working on ways to reduce our impact on our environment and the climate. We do so by developing methods to produce solutions that require a minimum of energy and natural resources and thereby reduce negatively impacting the environment. We have set three long-term goals aimed at reducing our impact on our environment and the climate. These goals are based on EU s objectives for As a result, with 2008 as our starting point, we will: - decrease energy consumption by 20 percent - obtain 20 percent of our energy from renewable sources - decrease greenhouse gas emissions by 20 percent Visit lindab.com for more information. 10
