Throughout history, buildings have utilized natural ventilation. With the increased push toward energy efficiency, however, the science behind natural ventilation has once again become immensely popular. Depending on the design of the building, the local climate, and the building’s purpose, natural ventilation can be an effective means of keeping the space at a comfortable temperature
The easiest way to describe how natural ventilation works is that it cools a space without mechanical energy. It effectively provides efficient cooling via passive ventilation. Natural ventilation is an extremely user-friendly way to remove stifling air from an indoor space, with no maintenance costs or upkeep. How Natural Ventilation Works – Science Now, we
One of the major trends of the 21st century is green construction and green energy. Retrofit an old building with a new ventilation system to increase energy efficiency. With more than half a century of experience in the green energy industry, Moffitt Corporation is an expert in green ventilation systems. As a result, we are
Since the first caveman figured out that “hot air rises and cool air sinks”, humans have managed to create more comfortable living conditions using natural ventilation. Everything changed in the early 20th century with the invention of air conditioning. Now, in the early part of the 21st century, we find ourselves looking back at early
A low-profile natural ventilator was a sound investment for Evonik Stockhausen. This specialty chemical plant purchased several ventilators for their building. Shortly after installation, the units faced three days of intense wind and rain from Hurricane Isaac. At the end of the storm however, no water entered the building, and the units were undamaged.
