Monodraught’s WINDCATCHER® systems have been welcomed as a cost effective, energy saving and environmentally friendly alternative to mechanically driven air-conditioning. A WINDCATCHER strives to ‘bring the outside indoors’, and in addition to extracting hot air, has the added advantage of carrying clean, fresh air from roof level down to the floors below through internal ducts and an intelligent controlled damper arrangement. With a 20 year history in the UK and international market, the WINDCATCHER is a world-class ventilation system that has achieved an enviable reputation in the engineering and building design industry.
Flexible design elements means that WINDCATCHERS are suitable for an extensive range of building concepts including educational institutions, sports facilities, office blocks, hospitals, retail centres, warehouses and small scale residential based projects.
WINDCATCHER systems provide the benefit of night-time cooling, a design element that can be integrated effectively into any building design, considering Australia’s contrast in climate throughout the year. During the hotter summer months, the volume control dampers are programmed to open fully at night time to encapsulate the cool night air, leaving the building interior feeling fresh, cool and clean for the benefit of occupants arriving in the morning.
Proven track record
Monodraught WINDCATCHER systems have consistently and effectively negated the need for air conditioning systems. Over 7,000 WINDCATCHER systems have been installed over the past 15 years, mainly in schools, offices, hospitals, retail precincts and community projects.
Precise Control
Monodraught has a highly sophisticated control system which enables the user to control the flow of fresh air depending on internal temperature, C02, wind movement and external temperature. Options are also available to acoustically treat internal WINDCATCHER quadrants so as to provide control over external noise transmission into the room.
Energy and Maintenance Free!
Covered by a 10 year guarantee, WINDCATCHERS have minimal running parts, and unlike alternatives on the market has absolutely NO maintenance costs. Being energy and carbon free, the WINDCATCHER will help you escape from ever increasing electricity bills.
Healthy Solutions
WINDCATCHER will alleviate the symptoms of Sick Building Syndrome, often associated with the lack of fresh air provided by mechanical methods of ventilation. Research shows that a constant flow of fresh air, combined with an optimal indoor climate will increase productivity in offices and schools, as well as reduce recovery times within hospitals and aged care centers.
