Natural Ventilation takes advantage of a natural resource to aid in the cooling and ventilation of a building.  By incorporating it into the design of the roof glazing there are considerable advantages:

• More cost effective that implementing a dedicated natural vent system
• Provides excellent air tightness when not required
• No visual impact on the building's design
• Can be included into the building's Smoke Evacuation Strategy to further reduce the project's budget

Vitral's roof glazing system have always outperformed other systems but by incorporating the Natural Ventilation into the roof glazing the project not only maintains its performance and its aesthetic apeal but will be cheaper to build.

The majority of the projects that use Vitral include Natural Ventilation, the use of all the available resouces through roof glazing significantly reduce a building's energy consumption:

• Natural Daylight
• Natural Ventilation
• Solar Gain

Solar Gain assists Natural Ventilation by making it more efficient in cooling a building.  It draws air through a building, making it a more comfortable environment and so a lower consumer of energy.

Vital works with Architects to view the building as a whole, rather than just as a means of brightening up one particular area.  This principle was clearly demonstrated with Bedales School
