Have you got high level windows that you cannot reach to operate?
The need to open these windows can become very evident in the warmer months. It provides a cost effective means of exhausting hot stale air from your building and replacing it with fresh air. Passive cooling is promoted and the occupants can experience a greatly improved internal environment and in turn, higher levels of thermal comfort.
The operation of high level windows can result in significant energy savings, whether it is in a school, home or office. Particularly in the warmer months, by allowing the build-up of hot and stale air to escape from the building a more comfortable internal environment can be achieved. It can also see the activation of air conditioning delayed. As air conditioners can make up a significant proportion of building operating costs, even small reductions in their use can amount to significant savings.
Natural ventilation also plays an important role in the health of building occupants. If stale air is not removed from the building not only can drowsiness result, but in some cases symptoms such as headaches, a sore through or irritated eyes. These symptoms can result in not only reduced comfort but also a fall in productivity.
