What is a Hurricane Vent? Having just weathered Hurricane Irma here in Florida a few weeks ago hurricane proof ventilation has been on our minds. Our natural ventilators and louvers made for regular levels of wind and rain. However, many of them are also equipped to handle hurricane-force winds to excessive amounts of rain and
What are Smoke Relief Vents? In the event of a fire heat and smoke rises towards the roof, accumulates, and then works its way back down to the floor. Smoke Relief Vents are strategically placed vents that are designed to funnel out smoke during a fire. This reduces smoke inhalation, improves visibility, and eliminates smoke
Dual Use Ventilation & Daylighting Some products just provide ventilation, others just provide day lighting. Moffitt dual use ventilation devices, like the Apollo, provide both. The power of natural ventilation and a sky light together make for a more effective, and more efficient product.
Ventilation CFD for Industrial Facilities At Moffitt, we use industrial CFD modeling help our customers see how a new ventilation system will impact their building. Having a vivid, 3D model helps the customer better visualize what we’re proposing with a new system. Furthermore, by accounting for each door, window, vent, and fan, we can create
The Benefits of Natural Ventilation Natural ventilation is the process of structuring or using installations to funnel hot air out of a building. Since hot air rises and cool air stays on the bottom, the best way to get rid of hot air is to install ventilators that take the hot air away. This is
Natural Intake Air for Heavy Commercial and Industrial Facilities The Moffitt EcoStream line includes all of the Moffitt Corporation adjustable and fixed wall louvers. These louvers create an efficient, positive stream of air. They are environmentally friendly and, unlike intake fans, require no electricity. We use proven ventilation methods to control airflow, and modern engineering
What is A Gravity Ventilation? Gravity ventilation (also known as natural ventilation) requires no powered ventilators to achieve air movement. A typical system is comprised of two primary components; the roof ventilator, which is the outlet for the warm air being displaced inside the structure, and the wall mounted louvers, which all for intake air
What is Daylighting? Daylighting is the process of introducing daylight into an environment. Adding Natural Daylight to a building is sure to boost morale and increase productivity. A facility can get more sunlight, for much less cost, with a Natural Daylighting device. Plus, since most of the Moffitt Daylight units are also ventilators, the building
Better Air, Better Buildings Above all other options, air conditioning dominates the design of most conventional buildings. However, at Moffitt, we always tell people that while roof ventilation is vital for any building, air conditioning is not. That is why, for over 55 years, we have been designing natural roof ventilation systems. Gravity Roof Ventilation
What is the Buoyancy Effect? At Moffitt Corporation, we constantly advocate for natural ventilation and roof vents for your buildings. But often, we will hear the argument that either air conditioning will always be superior or that natural ventilation is not effective. We have one answer that trumps both of these arguments: The Buoyancy Effect.
