If the trial is successful, the Estates & Facilities team will consider a range of further applications across the Cambridge and Peterborough campuses

Monodraught, and in particular all of the engineers involved in this project, are proud to be associated with such a great cause

We were keen to specify a natural ventilation solution and the client was hoping to achieve a high BREEAM rating

The Windcatcher X-Air system from Monodraught best met both objectives and proved to be an extremely effective and affordable solution

Winning the prestigious Ashden Awards with our Cool-Phase system is a real boost for everyone at Monodraught

This is a ground-breaking innovation from an established business

...manufacturing sustainable products that reduce energy consumption is a worthwhile objective for any company and at Monodraught we relish it as our long-term mission

We were proud to have designed-in such sustainable features at the start

...the company is delighted to have been involved in such a prestigious and pioneering retail project

Natural ventilation was a key consideration for the sustainability of the building and when the original specification was reviewed Monodraught emerged as the preferred candidate

Cool-Phase was a very new and innovative system when we first specified it

...Monodraught responded positively and quickly

...the aim [of the site] is to ensure that architects, consultants and contractors anywhere in the world are able to assess the effectiveness of natural ventilation, daylight and cooling for their local environment and their project...

the fresh air provided by the combination of opening windows and Monodraught’s Sola-boost Windcatcher natural ventilation systems make a positive contribution to the learning environment by creating a sense of wellbeing

the natural low maintenance, low cost, low energy ventilation solution ticks all the boxes

By giving designers real assurance in their design strategy from the simulation data that IES generates, they then have the confidence to specify Monodraught systems at a much earlier stage, thus streamlining the design process

We are giving consultants and architects the tools to design and model comprehensive natural ventilation strategies in the virtual environment – saving both time and money

As Monodraught also have a number of natural ventilation systems I contacted them to arrange a CPD Seminar that would allow us to review a number of other options at the same time

We liked the Cool-Phase system...and were pleasantly surprised when the quote was less than the combined ventilation and cooling option

Having pioneered the development of natural, zero- and low-energy building services solutions, Monodraught’s CPD presentations have always been in demand with architects, consultants and building services engineers

the Windcatcher Performance Component module lives up to the expectations of the original concept exactly, and further develops it with many additional features that enhance user operation and ease of design

As a practice we often specify Monodraught because we have confidence in its tried and tested range of core products

Monodraught is delighted to be included in such an innovative and sustainable project

The sophisticated control system ensures that whenever possible natural lighting and ventilation will be used

The Trust is very pleased with the results the Monodraught system is achieving

“The installation of the Cool-Phase system has had a profound effect on the students. They settle more quickly and there is a much more focused start to the lesson. Now the pupils can concentrate on their learning.”

“Cool-Phase has proved effective, sustainable and economically viable and ideally we would like the system fitted throughout the school.”
