SEED Engineers

Passive ventilation is the use of wind and thermal buoyancy to introduce fresh air into an indoor space with the use of trickle ventilators, windows, and louvres. Mixed mode ventilation utilises a combination of natural ventilation and traditional mechanical ventilation to meet Australian code requirements of fresh air. SEED is able to provide advice and compliance with Australian standards in the use of passive and mixed mode ventilation. #PassiveDesign #MixedModeDesign #EngineeringInnovation #SustainableDesign #SmartDesign #SEEDEngineers

Case Study: Ensuring Safe CO Levels in a Unique Car Park Design The Issue Due to limited space, this car park had implemented a car lift to transport vehicles between levels. This unconventional design raised concerns from the certifier and local council about carbon monoxide (CO) levels, particularly within the car lift. SEED Engineers was enlisted to assess the safety of this design and ensure compliance with standards. The Solution To address these concerns, we utilised Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models to analyse CO levels in the car park and the car lift individually, and both together. We meticulously measured all site penetrations and gathered key details about the lift and roller shutter that could influence the outcome of the simulation. The initial simulation based on the current design included a worst-case scenario: a fully occupied car park, the lift operating at full capacity, and all doors closed. This yielded positive results, showing CO levels were within safe limits. Further, we demonstrated that even with reduced airflow—set to the minimum required by AS1668.2—CO levels remained safe throughout the car park and lift.
