Benefits of natural ventilation

Improve air quality

Incorporating fresh air ventilation to the indoor environment optimizes the well-being and productivity of people inside the building.
Intelligent control

An engineered approach to natural ventilation provides intelligent control that keeps the building safe and occupants comfortable.
Building performance

Natural ventilation and facade automation can improve building performance by reducing energy consumption.

BREEAM, “Excellent” building with natural ventilation

City of Glasgow Colleges took a definitive commitment to the environment by embracing several sustainable design strategies such as automated natural ventilation. To reduce heat loads and maintain air quality, the atrium acts as a natural stack to drive cross ventilation through the building.

Zero-energy strategy with natural ventilation

HouseZero of Harvard University was renovated to inspire others by how older, existing structures can be altered to become ultra-efficient facilities. The older indoor climate systems were fully replaced with a new indoor climate paradigm which relies on the addition of thermal mass and radiant surfaces.

State-of-the art campus features intelligent actuators

MECD is Manchester University’s brand-new Engineering Campus. Intelligent actuator technology was key to providing the best indoor climate possible via fresh air ventilation. MotorLink® communication technology was chosen because it ensures seamless integration between the BMS and window automation.

Intelligent actuator communication in smoke ventilation

Augusta University Cancer Research Center chose WindowMaster actuators and MotorControllers as part of the building’s heat and smoke management strategy. The actuators and controllers are enabled with MotorLink® so that they can communicate directly with the building management systems about their position and status.
