Description
Passive and active natural ventilations systems, in the right climate zone, can be an effective way to reduce mechanical cooling costs in appropriate buildings. These systems have been introduced into educational environments to reduce mechanical cooling and ventilation hours in an effort to reduce building energy use.
While the design concept isn’t new, current construction practices, components, and integration with the building automation system have presented challenges to design & construction teams who aim for long term successful operation of these systems.
The panel discussion will cover design intent, construction, commissioning, and operation of the common components such as connected dampers, operable windows, and mechanical ventilators while reviewing areas of concern, failure, and solutions implemented on specific projects.
