RWDI has assisted designers throughout the world with complex ventilation issues for projects with demanding requirements.
Typical projects:
- Atrium spaces
- Laboratories
- Animal holding rooms
- Museums
- Sports facilities
- Convention centers
- Hospital isolation rooms
- Smoke management
- Tunnels
- Stations
RWDI identifies and solves problems related to:
- Air flow distribution
- Temperature and humidity
- Dust levels
- Smoke control
- Pollutant containment
- Odor migration
- Indoor air quality
- Natural ventilation
- Energy savings
RWDI resources include:
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Testing
A computer simulation technique that predicts air speed and direction, temperature, humidity, and concentrations of contaminants at thousands of points within a space.
Tracer Gas Equipment
Test and develop fume hoods, laboratory control systems, and diffuser arrangements in full scale mock-ups using tracer gas and velocity measurement methods.
Indoor Monitoring Equipment
Continuous monitoring and sampling programs assess the performance of existing ventilation systems.
Scale Modeling Facilities
Scale models or mock-ups of indoor spaces evaluate ventilation flows, solar gains, process heat and contaminant sources to aid in the design of a facility.
What RWDI can do for you:
Consultations / Design Reviews
Early in the design process, review information and provide recommendations to anticipate and avoid potential problems.
Internal Ventilation Analysis
Computer of physical modeling of spaces that are difficult to control to set design flows, locate diffusers and predict resulting conditions.
Fire / Smoke Control Assessments
Perform smoke migration analyses of fire scenarios to aid designers in evaluating emergency ventilation strategies for smoke control.
Air Quality Assessments
Determine existing or back-ground levels of contaminants to assist in design.
Certificates of Approval / Permitting
Provide assistance to obtain government approvals for new and modified sources of pollution.
Fume Hood Performance Testing and Development
Test fume hood designs using ASHRAE 110 containment and face velocity tests.
Expert Testimony
Specialists provide testimony at government hearings and court cases.
Odor Assessments
Identify odor sources and under-take odor panels to determine the required level of control or the effectiveness of solutions.
Develop novel concepts to a level where mechanical designers can provide a practical system. Assess the viability of natural or hybrid ventilation schemes.
