Natural hybrid ventilation in office buildings is a big part of the discussion about the movement to “go green”. This alternative to mechanical solutions, like heavy exhaust fans in industrial spaces and HVAC ventilation systems in office buildings, provides clean, fresh, energy efficient cooling. This not only helps improve working conditions, but it also helps
Natural ventilation definition: the process of pulling fresh air into a building from the outside. In turn, this fresh air helps force the warm, dirty air inside of the building out through the opening in the roof. This becomes done, without mechanical assistance. While that is the definition, concisely, it’s actual application and use is
Every day increasingly commercial and industrial buildings are seeing the benefits of buoyancy ventilation. This type of natural ventilation, also known as stack-effect ventilation, relies on the differences in temperature between the inside and outside of the building to promote airflow. By designing ventilation systems to take advantage of the buoyancy effect the interior can
Industrial Energy Conservation in Buildings Since the explosion of energy use in the early 20th century, the demand for energy has been ever increasing. It wasn’t until the later part of the 20th century that people began to realize that some energy sources might be finite or exceedingly difficult to access. Thankfully there has been
All types of manufacturing processes use compressed air. In fact, every process and machine found in an industrial environment use some form of pressurized air or gas. Due to the fact that it is so commonplace, people fail to recognize it as the potential hazard that it is. As little as 12 PSI can be
If you’ve ever noticed that the attic in your house is warmer than the floors below? If so, then you’ve seen the stack ventilation in action. Stack effect ventilation uses this same principle to ventilate a building naturally. By taking advantage of the differences in air density inside, outside, and throughout the building a space
Studies show that we work better in environments with plenty of sunlight and fresh air. While Natural Ventilation in the U.S. is still underutilized, buildings all over the world have seen its benefits in schools, offices, and industrial plants. Properly lit, properly ventilated spaces make everyone more efficient. That is why proper lighting and ventilation
