Passivent Ltd is enabling new products for the Government’s Building Schools for the Future to optimise natural resources and ensure compliance with the scheme’s specific requirements.

The company has added natural daylighting solutions to its range of natural ventilation systems, enabling fulfilment of the BSF’s specification that ‘in schools, natural daylight during daylight hours should always be the main light source for reasons of quality and sustainability. Passivent has conducted an extensive period of testing, unparalleled in the tubular rooflight industry, to bring to market Sunscoop tubular rooflights, Metro modular rooflights, and Litevent Airstract combined rooflight/ventilator, all of which not only meet the BSF requirements but also are accepted means of achieving BREEAM credits.

According to Wayne Aston, Director of Technical at Passivent, “There is an obvious synergy between natural ventilation and natural daylight, so it is logical for us to add daylighting solutions to our range, as an additional tool to help specifiers significantly reduce energy consumption and the building’s carbon footprint.
