Ventilation
Natural ventilation is defined as ventilation driven by the forces of wind and temperature and can be used to ventilate buildings intentionally in a controlled manner. This is not simply achieved through openable windows and should be considered as a key part of a whole-building passive design concept.
Building regulations are increasingly focussing on lowering energy use as well as the prevention of overheating within buildings. Low-energy natural ventilation is one of several passive design strategies used by professionals designing more sustainable and environmentally friendly buildings. It is the default method of ventilation for new school buildings and will gain points under the BREEAM assessment method for offices and other commercial buildings.
The key to successful implementation of a natural ventilation strategy is to consider its application during the preliminary stages of project design. Decisions about building plan, orientation, building mass and glazing ratio and types along with other factors will enable the most effective use to be made of natural ventilation.

Innovative Mixed Mode Ventilation with Mitsubishi and Passivent
The Ventilation Specialists
Passivent, specialists in delivering natural and energy efficient ventilation solutions, and Mitsubishi Electric, leading manufacturers of air conditioning systems, have together developed the award-winning Mixed Mode cooling system.
The Mixed Mode Concept
By combining natural ventilation and comfort cooling, the Mixed Mode system really does offer the best of both worlds. Natural ventilation is the preferred low energy strategy option for commercial buildings. Air conditioning can provide the close climate control desired in periods of occasional hot or cold weather. The Mixed Mode cooling system combines these two elements, providing the benefits of both - energy efficiency and improved comfort. The Mixed Mode strategy relies on well designed natural ventilation most of the time. Mechanical air conditioning is brought in only when and where necessary to deliver the required levels of comfort.
Range of applications
Mixed Mode systems are well-suited to offices and similar building types such as schools, shopping centres and hospitals, where there may be high internal heat gains and high expected levels of comfort. Whatever the application, our Mixed Mode system proves an ideal solution that’s reliable, predictable and energy saving.
