Monodraught wind catchers have been installed on a building situated by an airport to provide natural ventilation and noise reduction and to facilitate air movement and cooling. Stockport Academy, located beneath the flight path to Manchester airport is benefiting from acoustic insulation and continual air flow through Monodraught's automated facades.

Monodraught windcatchers were specified to provide natural ventilation in the main hall and sports hall areas which contained a limited size and number of windows due to security, glare and internal noise transmission issues. According to Monodraught, windcatchers catch the wind from any direction and enable secure cooling throughout the night. In addition, the windcatchers contain a series of external louvers linked to quadrants and internal turning vanes, capture external air and bring it down via a damper system that controls the rate of flow.
