To break up the look of the long south facing side of this building seven MatrixAir™ TR (Transpired) collectors were installed to serve various make-up air units. A unique feature of the collectors is their inclination that serves to improve solar gain and improve air movement towards the intake during the heating season. Summer bypass louvers have been installed to mitigate and summer overheating. Project details as follows:
