The document discusses the installation of natural ventilation systems at Ashmount SEN School in Loughborough by Airtherm Engineering. Airtherm designed and selected the correct systems for the school hall in consultation with Derry Building Services and Leicester Council. The systems were installed successfully in line with CIBSE guidelines. Airtherm's Wind-iVent natural ventilation terminals operate using aerodynamic principles to draw in fresh air and expel stale air through the use of positive and negative pressure areas around the terminal.

Airtherm had previously designed and selected the correct systems to serve the new hall within the School. This process required critical information to establish the correct airflow and terminal size, and working closely with both Derry Building Services and Leicester Council this installation was a success. The natural ventilation systems have been designed in line with all current publications such as CIBSE guidelines, AM10 Natural Ventilation in commercial buildings and Building Bulletin 101. The terminal sizes have been selected by our new computer aided software Wind-iCalc and fully conforms to the CIBSE requirements. Control Solutions Available
- 2. Product Range The Airtherm Wind-iVent is a natural ventilation system operating on established aerodynamic principles. As external wind flows around the terminal itself, positive and negative pressure areas are generated. On the positive side air enters the louvres of the terminal and is directed down through the internal vanes into the room below allowing a fresh air supply to be delivered, and on the negative side the stack draws the stale unwanted air which is expelled through the terminal into the atmosphere. Manufacture The units are be manufactured in accordance with BS EN ISO 9001, and to suit the architectural and design parameters as indicated in the design specification and drawings. Internal airways are to be protected by incorporating anti-bird mesh to the terminal louvers. Our systems can be manufactured to achieve 99.8% effectiveness (class A) when tested with a simulate rainfall of 75mm/hour and wind speed of 15m/sec based on a free area of 55%. 0844 809 2509 | airtherm.co.uk | info@airtherm.co.uk Product Solution Contact Details: Airtherm Engineering Ltd Unit 8A, Gainsborough Trading Est Stourbridge West Midlands DY9 7ND Tel: 0844 8092509 Fax: 01384 375218 Natural Ventilation Terminals Class A 99.8% Rejection Internal view within Hall Typical diagram The features and advantages of such a system: A fresh air supply for workers - proven to increase productivity & reduce staff sickness Naturally ventilated - reduce your energy costs and carbon footprint without the need for mechanical ventilation Night time purge of stale air - creating a fresh working environment for staff the following morning Better control of building temperature and CO族 levels Free cooling
