Why Ventilate Commercial and Industrial Buildings?

Reduce internal temperatures in summer.

A well ventilated building can reduce the build up of trapped heat, making for more effcient temperature control and a more comfortable workplace.
Hot air built up during the day is removed and replaced with the cooler evening air which, in turn, is stored in high thermal structures like concrete slabs.
The next morning, warm air entering a building is cooled by impact with the cold structures.

Reduce humidity and potential corrosion.

Reducing moisture levels inside a building not only improves the environment for the occupants, but also reduces the potential for corrosion of building structures.

Reduce energy consumption.

A ventilated building can have temperatures up to 4 degrees lower than a non-ventilated building at midday.
You won’t need to rely so much on air conditioners, which means lower ongoing energy bills.

Remove pollutants.

Some workplaces can produce atmospheric pollutants which cause distress at critical levels.
Natural ventilation continuously removes pollutants, replacing them with clean, fresh air.

Release smoke.

Many buildings today are required to install smoke release vents which are often pneumatically controlled hatches with fusible links, which spring open in the event of high temperatures or smoke build up.
They are costly, but rarely used.
Specifically designed natural wind ventilators can replace smoke release vents and perform both the function of smoke release and constant ventilation – a dual purpose, with assured return on investment.
