Naturalvent - A breath of fresh air...

Natural ventilation uses wind speed and temperature to achieve controlled ventilation , providing the benefits of Natural passive air with the security and control of HVAC systems.

Natural ventilation is not a new concept. It has been part of Middle Eastern architecture for thousands of years but became little used as air conditioning was introduced following World War II. However, as environmental concerns have increased and sustainable design has become more desirable, Natural ventilation has become the preferred system for schools and public buildings.

Natural ventilation can also improve the health of the building’s occupants, and has been proven to alleviate Sick Building Syndrome, improving concentration rates and reducing absenteeism.

Ventilation will substantially lower the impact on work of Sick Building Syndrome

The energy used by Natural or Passive ventilation is minimal, with the motors used to power the dampers the only draw on Natural resources. Even hybrid systems, which are a combination of Passive ventilation and fan assistance, are far more efficient than HVAC alone. It therefore gives considerable cost savings through reduced construction costs as well as reduced maintenance and running costs and free night-time cooling.

The ethos of a Natural ventilation System is one that fully encompasses the occupants’ requirements, the design and construction as well as the costs and benefits. Flexibility and variation in design lead to an individual solution for each unique building.
