The integration of Passivent Roof Ventilation Terminals into the VE provides a fast, streamlined and easy-to-use method of simulating the effect of the terminals within your VE building model.
The VE supports Passivent Airscoop® Roof Terminal units (with and without low-level inlets) and Passivent’s Airstract®, Passivent Airstract® iAT, Passivent Hybrid Plus Airstract®, Passivent Litevent Airstract® units (all with low-level inlets).
- Passivent Airscoop® (with or without low level inlets) is a range of roof mounted natural ventilation terminals which provide displacement (or top down) ventilation using wind power only. Suitable for buildings with large open areas, deep plan spaces and open plan top floors.
- Passivent Airstract® (with low level inlets) roof-mounted natural ventilation terminal combines low airflow resistance with high airflow capacity providing an exhaust outlet for used air. The natural forces of buoyancy, wind and convection move the air and minimal power is required.
- Passivent Airstract® iAT (intelligent Airflow Technology) (with low level inlets) roof mounted ventilation terminal has all the features and benefits of the standard Airstract terminal in addition to energy efficient mechanical assistance.
- Passivent Hybrid Plus Airstract® (with low level inlets) roof-mounted terminal has all the features and benefits of the standard Airstract terminal as well as an innovative air tempering and mixing unit utilising a single low power sweep fan.
- Passivent Litevent Airstract® Rooflight/Ventilator (with low level inlets) combines a controllable ventilator and a rooflight in one unit for installation on flat or low-pitched roofs. The added natural daylighting reduces the need for artificial lighting, thereby further reducing energy expenditure.
A dedicated VE Navigator is used to guide you through the step-by-step process, from importing the products into your model, configuring their operation, preparing, and applying to rooms, thermal simulation and compliance analysis.
