Top-to-toe Climate Control

Sustainability and energy efficiency are causing many to consider incorporating natural ventilation. Harnessing the freely available elements of wind and heat to move air through a building, natural ventilation can be effective whilst offering reduced capital, space and running costs compared to conventional air conditioning.

Capable of incorporating a mixed mode use of WRF heat pump air conditioning combined with natural ventilation, Colt can also design pure bespoke natural ventilation systems. Colt's natural ventilation systems involve opening and closing windows, dampers and roof vents in a controlled manner. These systems range from a simple open/ close switch to a fully integrated energy management system, which could include carbon dioxide measuring, internal and external temperature measuring and external weather sensors, as well as interfaces with external solar shading and the main building management system.

Such systems often have a dual function of smoke ventilation, thereby protecting the building should a fire break out.
