Sustainable Ventilation of Drawing Hall: Enhancing Indoor Air Quality and Energy Efficiency

Project Background:

  • Uses natural forces (e.g., wind) for fresh air
  • Reduces energy consumption by 10–30% compared to mechanical systems
  • Improves indoor air quality
  • Enhances comfort and health

Objectives:

  • Implement sustainable ventilation strategies such as: Bubble sheet, Roof coating and supercoating, Window ventilation, Turbo ventilation, etc.
  • Propose  sustainable ventilation system to the Drawing hall of Academic Building ‘B’ of SSVPS’s College of Engineering, Dhule

Description:

  • Sustainable ventilation strategies reduce energy use while improving thermal comfort & IAQ
  • Combines passive cooling, stack effect, and wind-driven ventilation
  • Monitoring data validates effectiveness for hot climates like Dhule

Outcome:

  • Insulated covering (bubble sheet + asbestos ceiling) & coated turbo ventilator roof: Reduces indoor temperature by ~6°C & Enhances thermal comfort

Impact on the Society:

  • Beyond technical success – tackles health, environmental, economic & educational challenges
  • Proves sustainable ventilation works in Dhule’s climate
  • Empowers communities to adopt eco-friendly solutions

Funding Information:

This project has received research funding  of Rs. 4,00,000/- from Dussault System’s La Foundation during F.Y. 2024-25.
