Next generation natural ventilation system Windcatcher X-Air

The Monodraught WINDCATCHER X-Air is the next generation of natural ventilation that follows in the footsteps of the successful WINDCATCHER classic systems that have proved to be so popular. Architectural Solar Powered Lighting System Patent No.1012112.7 The WINDCATCHER X-Air incorporates an architectural lighting system powered by a 10Watt photovoltaic panel mounted within the cap of the system. A solar panel collects solar energy throughout the day, even during overcast skies, charging an internal Lithium ION battery. The system automatically illuminates at low light and so the WINDCATCHER...

Aerofoil Louvre Patent No.1012114.3 The ACTIVLOUVRE technology is designed to provide ventilation control, but also to be aerodynamically efficient. By reducing losses through the louvred section the level of ventilation per system is increased, and so when its performance is compared to a standard louvre, it is found to be significantly greater. The aerodynamic profile was developed using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) techniques and wind tunnel tests in association with the University of Reading and University of Nottingham. External Air Catchment Fins Patent No. 1012116.8 The External Air...
