Breathing Buildings were brought in by the buildings’ designers to ensure that natural ventilation was delivered in the most efficient mean possible. The University building needed to be a friendly and comfortable place for student to learn. The ventilation requirements for buildings were particularly challenging due to the positioning of the building and its close proximity to a busy public transport route. This meant that the space needed to be acoustic sound to ensure a quiet teaching space, there were also over heating criteria that needed to be meet in a variety of spaces.
Breathing Buildings’ consultants were involved in the project from very earlier on which enable the team to produce an incredibly efficiently designed building.
