BB 101: Guidelines on ventilation, thermal comfort and indoor air quality 2018 presents engineers with a number of new challenges.
AirMaster SMV, having been designed for the rigorous standards of the European marketplace, have long been ready to meet the demanding standards of BB 101 (2018).
Low noise, demand-controlled operation and ePM10 75% filtration make AirMaster SMV units a simple and effective choice for school ventilation, so that children are not forced to breathe polluted air whilst at school.
With firm roots in the modular marketplace, AirMasters have been designed to be easy to install and are virtually plug and play.
To carry out detailed analysis of classroom ventilation systems, SAV Systems recently invested in SimScale, which is a cloud-based CFD , Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and thermal simulation software. SAV’s interest is in carrying out CFD analysis on classroom ventilation systems, including our own AirMaster Smart Mechanical Ventilation unit (SMV).
In winter conditions, classroom ventilation systems are at risk of delivering air at too low a temperature, causing discomfort due to draughts. The aim of the CFD analysis was to simulate classroom conditions when using an AirMaster SMV to prove that operation would be draught-free.
The results below for a typical classroom with 32 occupancy are preliminary, but they clearly confirm the Coanda effect, even temperature distribution and draught-free operation. We are open in our methodology and can provide full information on model inputs to consultants or other outside parties wishing to verify our results.
