Product snapshot
Ventus 2024 is a specialized utility built for building-safety professionals who manage airflow and pressure zoning. It helps engineers model detailed pressure zones across complex structures — from stair cores and shafts to atria and subterranean spaces — so systems can be designed to preserve safe conditions during emergencies.
Principal capabilities
- Create precise pressure-zone simulations for stairwells, shafts, atriums and underground areas.
- Produce visual outputs and communication-ready diagrams that simplify stakeholder review and coordination.
- Model emergency scenarios to support development of air-handling strategies that limit contaminant spread.
- Leverage integration with an established numerical engine to drive reliable airflow predictions.
Typical uses and benefits
- Designing air-handling schemes that maintain tenable conditions and protect evacuation routes.
- Preventing cross-contamination during incidents by evaluating pressure relationships and airflow patterns.
- Applying results to a variety of environments, including vertical circulation spaces and below-grade facilities.
- Supporting coordinated plans for smoke control, ventilation isolation and emergency response.
Platform details and workflow impact
Ventus 2024 runs on a robust simulation backbone, which enhances its analytical accuracy. The interface emphasizes clear visualization and communication tools, enabling teams to iterate designs faster and present findings more effectively to stakeholders.
Time and resource advantages
When adopted into standard practice, Ventus can substantially shorten the duration of airflow-control analyses — users commonly report project timelines shrinking by roughly 30–50% — freeing up engineering hours and accelerating delivery schedules.
