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.
