In the event of a fire heat and smoke rises towards the roof, accumulates, and then works its way back down to the floor. Smoke Relief Vents are strategically placed vents that are designed to funnel out smoke during a fire. This reduces smoke inhalation, improves visibility, and eliminates smoke damage. We advise that you
A sunroof will let in natural sun light but don’t help with natural ventilation. Ventilators may help exhaust the hot air, but not let any sunlight in. A dual use ventilation devices like the TriadVent however, does both. The power of natural ventilation and a sky light together make for a more effective, and more
At Moffitt, we use industrial CFD modeling help our customers see how a new ventilation system will impact their building. Having a vivid, 3D model helps the customer better visualize what we’re proposing with a new system. Furthermore, by accounting for each door, window, vent, and fan, we can create more accurate ventilation designs. CFD
If you add up the energy saved by all the buildings that have installed the MoffittVent™ since 1996 it would be the equivalent of over 7,363,884 gallons of gas. With that gas, you could drive for 173,787,673 miles! The same as 13,894 cars use in a single year. That massive amount of ventilation energy savings is
The Moffitt EcoStream line includes all the Moffitt Corporation adjustable and fixed wall louvers. These louvers create an efficient, positive stream of air. They are environmentally friendly and, unlike intake fans, require no electricity. Natural Intake Air for Heavy Commercial and Industrial Facilities We use proven ventilation methods to control airflow, and modern engineering and
If you took all of the energy that the MoffittVent™ saved buildings in 2016 and used it to power light bulbs, you would be able to power 470,006 incandescent light bulbs, or 1,880,022 CFL light bulbs, non-stop for one year. That’s enough bulbs for over 10,000 homes. There are a number of ways to do
It would take 5,317,777 trees to save as much CO2 as the MoffittVent did in 2016. This eliminates the 135,078 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) that would have been produced by using powering exhaust fans. This energy is saved and the CO2 disappears by switching to natural ventilation. The impact of MoffittVent adds up
Gravity Ventilation Solutions (also known as natural ventilation solutions) requires no powered ventilators to achieve air movement. A typical system is comprised of two primary components; the roof ventilator, which is the outlet for the warm air being displaced inside the structure, and the wall mounted louvers, which all for intake air to enter the
Aerial lift operations are an integral part of any rooftop contracting or maintenance work. Aerial lift equipment like boom lifts and scissor lifts, require preparation and caution to ensure safe and successful operation. As experienced ventilation contractors, the team at Moffitt knows a thing or two about safely working with aerial lifts. Below are the
In 2016 the MoffittVent saved enough energy to power 22,900 homes! That is more than the number of houses in Moffitt HQ’s hometown of Jacksonville Beach, Florida. Expressing the savings this way really shows the impact natural ventilation can have on energy savings and the environment. Natural ventilation involves cooling any building or area of
