People typically spend 90% of their time indoors. Concern over human exposure to the pollutants found indoors, and their potentially adverse effects on the health, productivity, comfort and well-being of occupants, is therefore growing. In busy urban areas, the overall exposure levels inside a building are likely to result from pollutants generated within and outside the building. Achieving good indoor air quality in Offices, therefore, depends on minimising the impact of indoor sources, as well as reducing pollutant ingress by effective design of the building and operation of the ventilation system.

Our systems are selected to ensure optimum energy efficiency and excellent indoor air quality. A key factor in ensuring a health indoor environment in an urban area is to correctly filter the outdoor air of the myriad of airborne contaminants usually found in built up areas. We guarantee that our systems will provide the correct amounts of fresh air to meet the recommended levels as defined by the World Health Organisation and CIBSE. It is now generally accepted that Hybrid (Natural/Mechanical) ventiation systems is the most energy efficeint and healthy method of ventilating buildings. By using openable windows alone to provide fresh air to a building, it is almost impossible to balance the comforts of the occupants close to the window with the fresh air requirements of all those located further away, especially in windy, cold, wet and noisy conditions.

With average outdoor temperatures of 9.5 Deg C. approximately, this means that throughout the year the fresh air required within the building has to be heated up by at least 10 Deg C, on average, before it is supplied to the occupants of a building. Therefore it is crucial that this heat is recovered when the air is leaving the building and transferred into the incoming fresh air, cutting fresh air heating bills by up to 90%. In buildings where 'Natural Ventilation' is implemented, it makes perfect sense to reclaim the valuable heat from the outgoing air, and not simply exhausting the heat from the building through a window or roof stack.

Using Chilled beams, we can provide full free cooling systems. Cold water from underground can be used instead of Chilled Water to achieve comfortable conditions indoors, even in the warmest of Irish summers!
