Passivent has supplied its patented SoundScoop acoustic cross-talk attenuators for use in a new purpose-built primary school in Wales that has been designed and constructed to meet Passivhaus standards and also achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating.

The school’s ventilation strategy has been enhanced through the use of Passivent’s versatile SoundScoop units, which have been installed within
the classroom areas to contribute to the creation of a comfortable interior learning environment, both in terms of air quality and noise reduction.

At just 320mm high, the discrete design of Passivent’s SoundScoop allowed it to be easily accommodated within the bulkheads that supply the rooms with fresh air, which can also be heated or cooled, via a centralised air-handling plant. The SoundScoop units then passively exhaust air back out into the central circulation space for it to be extracted, tempered and redistributed back into the classrooms by the main air-handling plant.
