breathing buildings
Soham
Breathing Buildings was formed in 2006 following the development of the
proprietary e-stack mixing ventilation system, as part of a major research
programme at Cambridge University and MIT, funded by BP. The technology was
filed for patent by the University of Cambridge, and Breathing Buildings has
exclusive rights to this IP. Since then, we have changed the world of
ventilation. The company is now the UK’s leading provider of controlled hybrid
and natural ventilation systems. What this means for you We are passionate about
everything we do. Our philosophy is to simply to be the best. From the moment a
customer has a query about how to ventilate their building, they are supported
by a remarkable team of MEng and PhD engineers who help our clients design truly
stunning low energy buildings with stimulating environments, superb air quality
and thermal comfort. Our consulting engineers work with the design team to
discuss the different ventilation options and provide in-depth analysis to
ensure our buildings do not overheat. We are the only company in the industry
who can provide the whole range of tools to model ventilation in buildings;
dynamic thermal modelling, computational fluid dynamics, water-bath modelling,
zonal modelling, analytical modelling, and bespoke energy modelling. Once a
system is ordered our project engineers liaise with our UK factory to coordinate
the delivery of products and control systems to sites across the UK. Our
commissioning team then ensures that every system we supply is properly
installed, and can be monitored as part of our after-sales service. Innovation
We have an ongoing program of product development and our links with the
University of Cambridge are very strong. The Breathing Buildings team
contributes to the teaching at the university and research into hybrid and
natural ventilation. Please see our reference list of background papers and look
