While there was equipment to bring in fresh outdoor air, it did not distribute evenly throughout the plant, making it difficult for workers to actually feel the benefits of the ventilation in their work areas.
Due to the nature of film and packaging manufacturing, airborne dust and stale air easily accumulated, creating an environment where workers frequently experienced stuffiness, throat irritation, and breathing discomfort in stagnant zones.
Because outdoor and indoor air did not mix sufficiently, the facility suffered from uneven ventilation, with some areas receiving excessive outdoor air while others remained filled with polluted air.
We installed sirocco fans outdoors to secure a stable source of fresh air and configured an outdoor air supply structure that integrates with the internal HVAC system.
To prevent incoming outdoor air from remaining in specific spots, we connected it to fabric ducts, ensuring uniform distribution throughout the plant. This structure goes beyond simple intake by expanding the effective reach of the outdoor air.
We designed the system so that the outdoor air is felt specifically in areas where workers are stationed, rather than in upper facility levels or unused spaces, ensuring that improvements in indoor air quality directly benefit the working environment.
By providing a stable and consistent supply of fresh outdoor air throughout the facility, we have reduced the buildup of stale, heavy air and improved overall IAQ.
Fabric ducts ensure that fresh air reaches every part of the workspace evenly, creating a system where ventilation performance is consistent across the entire floor without dead zones.
Enhanced mixing efficiency between indoor and outdoor air has eliminated stagnant zones where stuffiness and pollutants previously tended to accumulate.
