The Breathing Buildings team were involved in the design of
Unity College, and also supplied e-stack equipment to some of the
spaces. In addition to installing single e-stack units
to a number of music and drama rooms, we also developed a
strategy of Talking Stacks for the new 300 person hall. This new
innovation included four e-stack controlled stacks which
communicate and provide controlled, naturally pre-heated mixing
ventilation in cold winter conditions, effectively recycling the
internal heat gains through natural pre-heating of the ventilation
air.
Monitoring of the new development, which was carried out with
support of The Carbon Trust, suggests that the system is
maintaining low CO2 levels in the space, and also that
the pre-heating through mixing is helping prevent cold draughts
developing in the seating zone and stage areas.
