About Zurface Group

The mission is to create a healthy work and learning environment for both children and adults, reduce the spread of infections, and improve building operations.

Since 2012, Zurface Group has been dedicated to designing, developing, and manufacturing digital solutions to minimize the spread of infections and improve indoor climate. Our solutions are the result of close collaboration with users and leading experts in the field.

The Zurface solution opens up a wide range of perspectives and possibilities that have the potential to improve well-being for both children and adults, enhance learning capabilities, reduce absenteeism, optimize building operations, and decrease energy consumption.

Through collaboration to ensure a healthier indoor climate, we achieve positive effects on both work and educational environments, resulting in increased learning and well-being. A healthier indoor climate also significantly reduces absenteeism, presenting significant potential benefits for schools, daycare centers, private workplaces, and society as a whole.

Public and private buildings are utilized for extended periods throughout the day, and it can be a challenge to manage building operations and reduce energy consumption during periods when the buildings are unoccupied or have minimal occupancy. The data analysis presented in a user-friendly manner can help optimize energy management during these periods. Moreover, many public buildings have unused or inefficiently utilized spaces due to a lack of oversight regarding their utilization. Hence, Zurface will analyze and provide guidance on improving building usage, such as identifying vacant areas.
