Natural ventilation

Ventilation is possible even in bad weather, such as rain, thanks to the Rainproof technology in our Hydra and Virgo louvered ventilators.

To maintain a comfortable indoor environment, office buildings should be ventilated several times a day for two to five minutes. In industrial facilities, it is difficult to provide a standard guideline because various factors come into play. We would be happy to calculate the fast air exchange rates for you. 

A natural ventilation system uses physical mechanisms, such as the rise of warm air and differences in wind pressure, to facilitate air exchange within a building. Warm air rises and can escape through the skylight, while cooler outside air flows in. This eliminates the need for additional energy sources for ventilation. 

Mechanical ventilation systems use mechanical power to move air through ventilation openings within a building. These systems provide effective ventilation regardless of outdoor conditions and can be controlled to meet specific needs. In addition to targeted air distribution, the (cold) supply air can be preheated using heating coils when outdoor temperatures are low. 

In the appendix "Requirements and Measures for Workplaces" pursuant to Section 3(1) of the Workplace Ordinance (ArbStättV), the following requirements regarding ventilation must be met as part of the risk assessment: Chapter 3.6 (1) In workrooms, restrooms, break rooms, on-call rooms, cafeterias, first-aid rooms, and dormitories, sufficient healthy breathing air must be available during the period of use, taking into account the specific purpose of use, work procedures, physical strain, and the number of employees as well as other persons present.
