The successful installation of five Breezair coolers into Fortis Bank’s headquarters in Brussels, Belgium, has resulted in far more comfortable working conditions for employees. Installed on the outside of the building with cool, moist air delivered to the open planned offices via textile ducts, the Breezair system has reduced temperatures by around 8°C.

Underlining its green credentials, Fortis Bank decided to install carbon neutral Breezair evaporative cooling when temperatures in the top floor of its offices in the 19th century building in the centre of Brussels became unbearably hot with temperatures reaching over 34°C.  Initially Breezair was installed on level four of the building, where temperatures were particularly hot.  However, such was the success of the installation that after a few days Fortis Bank responded to requests from its employees and asked for Breezair cooling to be installed on other floors and Fortis Bank is investigating other possible sites for Breezair cooling.
