Natural ventilation reduces energy consumption through openings in the building and is driven by natural forces of wind and/or temperature without the aid of mechanical means. Natural ventilation is created by pressure differences between the inside and outside of the building induced by wind and air temperature differences.
arising from different pressures created by winds around a building.
created by forces resulting from the temperature difference between the interior and exterior of a building
The heat absorbed by a building's exposed thermal mass during the day is released to the indoor air at night, after which it is purged by night ventilation
An intelligent natural ventilation system ensures that façade and roof windows automatically open and close by incremental amounts according to individual fixed values for the desired room temperature, humidity and CO2 levels. Measurements of external temperature, rain and wind speed together with the actual levels of room temperature, humidity and CO2 are the basis for controlling the indoor climate.
5 key benefits of natural ventilation:
We have a comprehensive overview of articles, guidelines and conference papers with topics related to natural ventilation, mixed mode ventilation and smoke ventilation written by researchers and academic institutions in our Knowledge Center.
We are professional natural ventilation consultants and suppliers. We can help you install a system in an existing structure or plan your natural ventilation system in a new build.
We’ll work closely with you to find the best natural ventilation system that suits your needs.
We’ve worked on a broad range of projects, implementing natural ventilation for various buildings including apartment complexes, office buildings, schools and hospitals.
To create the best possible sustainable solutions, it is important to see the possibilities, especially in the early stages of building projects. Our team of engineers is committed to helping our customers with advice and support whenever needed.
