Week 14 - Ventilation work

The drawing below shows the ventilation system within the design. The ventilation shafts can be seen to the left of the drawing, where the air is trapped when travelling along the corridors created by the streets of the CBD. The ventilation shafts sit from the bottom level of the underground level to above the ground level .  The air is trapped from the street, worked through the ventilation system where it is filtered and then processed through the underground community. This system can cool the air and transfer it through the system in the middle of summer and do the opposite in winter. The main aim however is to move the air through the community just as it would above ground. A lot of the air will also be received through the main four shafts  of the design., The air moves in through the  shafts, moves throughout the whole community, constantly resupplying the air and keeping it clean, before travelling back out through the other shafts.
