Automated Windows for Natural Ventilation |
 |
Natural ventilation relies on air pressure differences instead of or in conjunction with mechanical means to move fresh air through buildings. A properly designed natural ventilation system lowers capital and operating costs while improving energy efficiency and safety, as well as occupant health, well-being, and performance. This course demonstrates the role of windows and skylights in a ventilation strategy and discusses how an automated, programmable window operating system maximizes the benefits of natural ventilation.

Dri-Design |
 |
Created in 2000, Dri-Design is the result of meticulous engineering of a metal wall panel system that had not existed previously. It was, and is, a 100% recyclable, pressure equalized rain-screen, architectural metal wall panel system that attaches to nearly any substrate without the use of clips or extrusions. The pressure equalized rain-screen design can be installed simply over commercial grade Tyvek onto plywood, or as the most sophisticated outboard insulation pressure equalized rain-screen you can design. |
