“In response to updated building regulations, Tesco has included energy saving and sustainable initiatives, and as one of the key suppliers, Monodraught was involved early in the planning stage, later supplying Windcatcher X-Air systems aerodynamically designed to deliver the optimum ventilation rate to extract stale air from the main sales area of the store and introduce fresh, naturally-ventilated air”

"The systems have regulated the internal temperatures without any outside assistance."

"We are all aware how difficult it is to study and work in a stuffy and warm environment and this was one of the key factors in the College’s decision. After all, what could be more energy efficient than ‘free fresh air'."

"The existing school was naturally ventilated but only by manual windows opening. The Windcatcher X-Air system was chosen for the simplicity of its implementation during the construction, its good control system and low maintenance."

Monodraught Windcatchers were the ideal solution and the entire facility now stays cool and refreshed, even when full of students letting off steam”. He adds “that once installed, Windcatchers maximise the use of wind pressure and the natural stack effect of thermal buoyancy, which means schools reap all the benefits of sustainable energy and incur no running costs.”

"I was impressed with the simplicity of the Windcatcher technology.  The roof mounted units are located well above the heavy pollutants on the A2 allowing fresh air to be drawn into the heart of the building.  Acoustic lining in the ducts of the Windcatchers has reduced noise ingress to 38 dBa, which is well within the noise design limits set by the Acoustic Consultants."
