PASSIVENT WINS ‘SUSTAINABLE BUILDING SOLUTION’ AWARD
 The environmental benefits of Passivent natural ventilation have
been endorsed by the winning of a major industry award.
The company’s innovative Airscoop system for large or deep-plan
buildings- such as open plan offices, industrial units, auditoria
and sports halls- has won the Sustainable Building Product Award at
the 2008 100% Detail exhibition, claimed to be one of the world’s
most important architectural and building design shows.
Lead judge for the Award, and editor of Sustain magazine, Jim
McClelland, observed, “It is the second year of the Award and the
entries were much higher in volume, quality and breadth. Passivent
won with Airscoop not only because of the sustainable benefits of
the product itself but the fully co-ordinated, environmentally-aware
package from manufacture to marketplace.”
Passivent, which has attained ISO14001 international environmental
management standard at both its manufacturing and management sites,
produces two versions of Airscoop- Enhanced and Basic.
Airscoop is a roof mounted terminal divided diagonally into four
chambers. Wind from any direction is channelled down through the
windward chambers into the building, which exhausts warm, “used” air
out through the leeward chambers. The Enhanced version uses a unique
quad arrangement of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) designed
inlets/outlets with integral four-way damper to provide a smooth
efficient passage of air movement at low velocity along with
effective air distribution.
All Airscoop units are designed to function regardless of wind
direction and speed to provide a controllable natural ventilation
solution which operates 24/7 , and uses no power to move the air,
thus reducing capital, running and maintenance costs for the life of
the building. Additional acoustic treatment can be incorporated
where the system is being used in noisy locations, which provides
acoustic attentuation up to 42dB.
Passivent is part of the Building Product Design Group and is the
UK’s leading designer and supplier of natural ventilation systems
for both domestic and commercial applications. The company is a
founder member of the NatVent EC-EU-funded project co-ordinated by
the Building Research establishment to develop practical natural
ventilation solutions for the commercial sector, and has also
contributed to the BISRIA Guide BG2/2005 Wind Driven Natural
Ventilation Systems, as well as being a member of the DfES steering
committee on natural ventilation guidance for schools, Building
Bulletin 101.
