Managing heat in large industrial buildings is a growing challenge for manufacturers. Rising energy costs and increasing internal heat loads from machinery mean many facilities struggle to maintain comfortable working conditions without relying heavily on energy-intensive air conditioning.
A recent case study from CPA Engineered Solutions has demonstrated how combining evaporative cooling with hybrid roof ventilation can significantly reduce internal temperatures while improving airflow across large spaces.
The project recorded a reduction in internal temperatures of more than 25%, highlighting how a balanced ventilation strategy can remove excess heat while introducing cooler outside air into the building.
At the upcoming exhibition, CPA Engineered Solutions will be showcasing Breezair evaporative cooling, a technology designed to deliver high volumes of cooled outside air into industrial environments. Evaporative cooling works by drawing warm outside air through water-saturated cooling media, lowering the air temperature naturally before it is introduced into the building.
Unlike conventional air conditioning systems that rely on refrigerants, evaporative cooling uses the natural process of evaporation and can reduce energy consumption dramatically while improving indoor air quality by continuously introducing outside air.
When combined with hybrid roof ventilation, the system becomes even more effective. Warm air that accumulates at roof level is extracted from the building, while the evaporative cooling system introduces cooler outside air into the workspace. This continuous movement of air helps stabilise internal temperatures and prevents heat build-up from industrial processes and machinery.
This combined approach is particularly effective in manufacturing environments, warehouses, and large industrial buildings where traditional air conditioning systems are often impractical or prohibitively expensive to operate.
Visitors to the CPA Engineered Solutions stand will be able to learn more about how Breezair evaporative cooling works and how it can be integrated with hybrid roof ventilation to create a complete ventilation strategy for industrial buildings.
For organisations facing increasing heat challenges within their facilities, combining these technologies offers a practical and energy-efficient way to improve airflow, reduce internal temperatures, and create more comfortable working environments.
