In relation to building costs, natural and hybrid ventilation is advantageous at Moesgaard Museum. If these energy efficient ventilation systems were replaced with traditional mechanical ventilation, alternative measures such as solar panels on the roof would be necessary to meet the energy requirements. 

It was important when the Samsø Energy Academy was built in 2007, that we were able to showcase an energy-efficient and automatic natural ventilation solution. The solution helps to make the building and the facade intelligent, so we both thrive and welcome others to a healthy and comfortable place.

The goal is to demonstrate that the indoor climate should be just as good when using natural ventilation in comparison to traditional mechanical ventilation. Air that enters directly through the facade will be perceived as fresher compared to air that passes through a mechanical ventilation system. 

Early in the process, we were challenged to achieve unparalleled levels of energy efficiency in the project. Automated natural ventilation allowed us to regulate the indoor climate through minimal energy consumption.
