AI Simplifies and Streamlines Ventilation Inspections

Sokigo develops digital solutions for municipalities and the public sector, including Vinga, an AI-based software that quickly and automatically interprets and structures incoming records from mandatory ventilation inspections into digital, quality-assured data. Vinga is used by Västra Gästrikland’s Urban Development Department, a collaboration between Hofors, Ockelbo and Sandviken Municipalities.

Swedish municipalities have a statutory responsibility to ensure that mandatory ventilation inspections are carried out, as regulated by planning and building legislation. These inspections aim to ensure a healthy and safe indoor climate in all buildings occupied by people, with the exception of detached and semi-detached houses. Thousands of protocols need to be reviewed and followed up every year, a demanding task that has a direct impact on public health, energy consumption and the safety of homes and communities.

Vinga is now used alongside Sokigo’s Atom solution, which monitors inspection intervals, sends reminders, and initiates supervisory cases. This automates the entire process for municipalities, creating a fully digital, end-to-end workflow that
enables the municipalities to meet their statutory obligations more efficiently. AI ensures consistent, error-free data processing, while automation guarantees regulatory compliance and strengthens the rule of law. A digital, paper-free workflow with shorter lead-times and less travel results in ventilation shortcomings being addressed more quickly, a reduction in energy use and improved public health.
