Keeping Cool with Natural Ventilation

Wollondilly Leisure Centre

Faced with inside temperatures reaching over 60°C during summer, OH&S concerns with
employees and building corrosion, James Barnes, Operations Manager of Wollondilly
Community Leisure Centre, made the decision to consult with IVR Group over a way to
improve the natural ventilation of the centre. The benefits to swimmers, employees and
business made it an easy decision to make.

A Complete Solution

From a professional site inspection that included working out the geographic orientation
of the buildings, wind direction and weather history of the site, as well as computer
modeling of the air flow characteristics within the building before and after the installation
of ventilation, IVR Group were able to develop a complete natural ventilation solution that
provided real tangible benefits.

Real Results

With the help of IVR Group ventilation, Wollondilly Community Leisure Centre were able
to reduce the indoor temperature difference inside their leisure centre from over 9°C to
just 0.2°C from outside to inside on a 38°C day! - a remarkable difference just through
the expert use of natural ventilation.
