Ventilation

A hybrid ventilation strategy will be adopted due to the nature of the programme. Spaces such as retail, gym and workshop spaces will require ventilation and thermal comfort to be closely monitored. Therefore natural ventialtion alone is not enough.

If we view the workshop space, extra care is required to extract the airborne particulate matter and nanoparticles which are produced from the ship making process.

PM2.5 is a standard adopted by the European Union, limiting any particulates in air to 25 µg/m3. To acheive this in the design of the workshop space, ventilation ducts will be placed at each shipmaking station keeping these spaces well ventilated and free from a buildup of these harmful nanoparticles.
