Just a completely designed and coordinated roof mounted unit that can be retrofitted to existing buildings or installed onto new ones. Simple to install and simple to operate.

One moving part, rain and CO² sensored, fully automatic and programmable with an integrated user override and completely silent the Monodraught Windcatcher and Sun catcher will keep your building comfortable all year round by providing enough fresh air to meet or exceed all Australian, CIBSE and Green Star standards while providing enough air changes an hour to remove heat loads in summer.

Using a system of very low wind speeds combined with either passive buoyancy and night purging if available or cross flow ventilation or both the Monodraught units will work whether your windows are open or closed - all day, all night. They are completely secure as well. No burglar issues.

They are also perfect for those noisy and dirty environments such as adjacent to air ports or main roads as they have superior sound attenuation qualities and being high above the ground they limit the amount of dust entry.
