Successful natural ventilation can only come from having the correct control strategy. 

NV Comfort 'Standard' Functions:

• Natural ventilation
• Control of heat

'Plus' Functions:

• Sunlight protection- The sun screening function allows Venetian blinds, awnings etc. to be controlled automatically, both in summer and winter, so that the position of the sun screening can be continuously adapted to the prevailing lighting and heating/ cooling situation in a room. This allows an optimal use and exploitation of the sun screening product as well as optimising the use of solar thermal energy. The actual control is based on measurements of lux and temperature. It also enables the windows to be coordinated with the shading strategy. 

• Control of light- By connecting PIR detectors, it is possible to turn off the lighting automatically when a room is vacated, thereby reducing the building's energy consumption.

• Hybrid ventilation- If the number or size of a building's window is not sufficient to achieve an optimal indoor climate with natural ventilation, external fans (mechanical ventilation) can be connected and used at peak loads.

Vento will be installing natural ventilation, daylight and thermal destratification to the Orana Trade Training Centre (TTC) in Dubbo, NSW, to be fully controlled by our NV Comfort Plus.

With 11 Air Pear® systems, 12 SOLA-BOOST® systems, 50 SUNPIPE® systems and 80 WindowMaster® Actuators Orana TTC will be achieving the best possible outcome for internal comfort, energy and cost savings.

The NV Comfort solution can also be expanded to include fire ventilation, including module control centre, smoke and heat sensors and fire alarm points. 

When the fire ventilation is activated, eg. using fire alarm points or sensors, all current NV Comfort settings - manual as well as automatic settings - are overridden, and all windows connected to the fire ventilation are immediately opened or closed.

By combining natural ventilation with fire ventilation, an optimum use of the system is achieved. This is also a financially attractive solution!

Peter Connolly made a quick visit to Australia last week to help him better understand the Australasian market and to meet the Vento team before he makes a more permanent move here in the beginning of April.

Peter has six years experience working as the IE Sales Manager and more recently the UK & IE Business Development Manager for WindowMaster. In this role he developed the new Irish market from start up to market leader in natural ventilation.

Now ready to face a new challenge, Peter will be using his experience with Business Development and his expertise in WindowMaster to focus on the Australasian market.

We look forward to his return and the growth of Vento!
