 VENTILATION FOR A BETTER ENVIRONMENT
A well designed building ventilation system will contribute
to improved productivity and a safer work environment.
Adequate ventilation means stale, polluted or uncomfortably
hot air is exchanged with fresh, external air, improving
S
the quality and comfort of the internal environment for
LE
building occupants. It can also help reduce energy usage
and greenhouse gas emissions.

Why Ventilate commercial and Industrial buildings?

PR
Reduce internal temperatures in summer
A well ventilated building can reduce the build up of
trapped heat, making for more efficient temperature control
&
and a more comfortable workplace. Hot air built up during
G
the day is removed and replaced with the cooler evening
air which, in turn, is stored in high thermal structures like
N
concrete slabs. The next morning, warm air entering a
FI
building is cooled by impact with the cold structures.
O
Reduce humidity and potential corrosion
O
Reducing moisture levels inside a building not only
R
improves the environment for the occupants, but also
reduces the potential for corrosion of building structures.
Reduce energy consumption
A ventilated building can have temperatures up to 4 degrees
lower than a non-ventilated building at midday. You won’t
need to rely so much on air conditioners, which means
lower ongoing energy bills.

With more than 70 years experience in ventilation systems,
Edmonds is the market leader in natural, wind driven vent
(F
technology. Hurricane™ ventilation systems have been
installed in almost every building environment, from the
extreme heat of the Middle East, the gales of southern USA,
to the cold of Canada and the rain of New Zealand.
Remove pollutants
Some workplaces can produce atmospheric pollutants which
cause distress at critical levels.
Natural ventilation continuously removes pollutants,
replacing them with clean, fresh air.
Release smoke
Many buildings today are required to install smoke release
vents which are often pneumatically controlled hatches
with fusible links, which spring open in the event of high
temperatures or smoke build up.
They are costly, but rarely used. Specifically designed
natural wind ventilators can replace smoke release vents and
perform both the function of smoke release and constant
ventilation – a dual purpose, with assured return on
investment.
HURRICANE™ VENTILATION BY EDMONDS
Edmonds Hurricane™ ventilators are constructed from
corrosion resistant aluminium and feature a Tandaco
pre-packaged double row bearing system, for optimum
performance under a wide range of conditions.
Hurricane™ ventilation systems are designed to ensure your
building will have the best ventilation performance, with
the right air exchange rates. For your peace of mind, all our
standard products have a 15 year warranty.
Hurricane™ ventilators have been performance tested
to Australian Standard 4740 (Performance of Natural
Ventilators) to determine flow rate capacities. They have
also been wind load tested to 195km/h and tested for rain
penetration to Australian Standard 2428.1.
The Australian designed and manufactured Hurricane™
Turbine Ventilator has received global recognition as the
leader in wind-driven ventilator technology.
Exported to over 40 countries, it has been used by some of the world’s largest corporations including;
General Electric (Canada, USA, Brazil, Chile, Vietnam)
Honda (India)
Toyota (Oman)
