Army presses Monodraught into service in Belize

Natural-ventilation specialist Monodraught has supplied six Windcatcher systems to the British Army training sub-unit in Belize in central America. They have been installed to provide energy-free natural ventilation for the Sailfish project, a refurbishment of a British Army adventure training accommodation. There are two sizes of Windcatcher to suit large and small rooms in the building. They were installed by the Royal Engineers team, members of which attended a one-day induction at Monodraught’s headquarters in High Wycombe. Monodraught’s managing director Prof. Terry Payne, comments on this unusual project that the sub-tropical climate in Belize will be a tough test for the Windcatchers. However, he is confident that they will create a natural and healthy living environment. Being energy free and requiring no maintenance make them ideal for this installation.
