Natural ventilation can offer significant benefits for car park projects, including reduced construction costs, simplified building services coordination and lower operational energy consumption. In many cases, it may also eliminate the need for extensive exhaust ductwork, vertical risers and large mechanical ventilation systems. However, successful natural ventilation design involves much more than simply providing large façade openings. The most cost-effective solution is not always fully...

Advanced CFD Simulation for Ventilation Effectiveness, Heat Management, and Equipment Reliability Plant rooms often contain heat-generating equipment that requires effective ventilation to maintain safe operating temperatures and reliable operation. Deratec recently completed a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) assessment for multiple plant rooms within a high-rise commercial development. The study evaluated airflow behaviour, ventilation effectiveness, and temperature distribution to verify...

Buildings with glazed facades reflecting sunlight, undergoing an assessment for reflectivity and glare. Project Overview Deratec was engaged to conduct a solar reflectivity and glare compliance assessment for a new commercial façade development located on George Street, Sydney CBD . The study addressed requirements by Transport for NSW and the City of Sydney Council , ensuring that reflective materials visible from nearby transport corridors would not create glare or safety issues for tram...
