WINDCATCHER: Peckham Academy Natural Ventilation Added on 02/08/2012 • Location: London • Architect: Curl La Tourelle Architects • Consultant: Halcrow Group Ltd The £23 m Academy in central London consists of 3-storey buildings, where it was necessary to provide natural ventilation not only to the top floor but also to the two floors below. Monodraught WINDCATCHERS were used to provide a sustainable solution to achieve ventilation to deep plan classrooms on multiple floors. The top floor classrooms are served by 800 mm units, positioned in the centre of each room, whereas ground and first floors are served by rectangular units measuring 1300 mm x 450 mm, connected up to internal blockwork ventilation shafts formed in the walls of the central corridors.
