Passivent has supplied 11 Airscoop roof-mounted terminals for a new £3.6m performance archery facility at Lilleshall National Sports Centre, Shropshire. Home to Archery GB, the centre was funded by Sport England with support from UK Sport. It will be used by Olympic and Paralympic archers, as well as being a base for talent development archers and community activity, including grassroots sport.
Passivent’s Airscoop roof ventilation terminals were specified to help naturally ventilate the 70m indoor shooting range. Through displacement ventilation, the Airscoop terminals direct fresh air via four separate chambers to the indoor space below while also extracting stale air. The centre also benefits from the integration of Passivent’s iC8000 multi-zone intelligent controller, which enables automatic control of the terminals as required, based on temperature and CO2 levels.
The energy saving design of the ventilation terminals also helps reduce maintenance costs as there are no mechanical or electrical elements that require regular servicing so no access to the roof is needed.
The terminals are also covered by a 15-year no leak guarantee and feature patented double bank louvres for Class A rain rejection (tested to BS EN 13030:2001).
