WINDCATCHER Smoke Test

  • This smoke test  was undertaken at  the  British Research  Establishment  ( BRE) in order to prove the efficiency of the WindCatcher system and highlight that no short circuiting occurs within the system. Even with no windows or doors in the room, the video details how the air is bought down to the floor level  and is then circulated around the room before being extracted.

Further information can be  provided if requested in the form of a detailed  BRE Report about this test. The narrative in the test clearly explains the process and the outcomes.
