Internal Glazed Screen

Within health sector buildings, internal glazed screens are primarily introduced to provide additional light into deep plan spaces. Often these are adjacent to corridors themselves adjacent to inner courtyards.

Natural ventilation strategies can use such screens to allow cross ventilation by simultaneously opening AOVs in the courtyard façade and internal glazed screen to effectively draw fresh air into the relevant space and exhaust stale contaminated air.

This design uses natural positive and negative air pressures to create a healthy environment.
