How AirViz Helps Tell the Design Story for Theater Program - MacroAir Fans

Written by Admin | Mar 26, 2024 3:51:28 PM

The theater arts program at Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, CA is constantly learning how to deliver and perform well-told stories for their audiences. When the theater program looked to turn the school’s old basketball gym into an interim performing arts building, they found the perfect space to refine their acting and performance skills, except for one challenge: with no air conditioning, the air quality was almost unbearable for the actors. The Mater Dei theater program needed to find a viable airflow solution that would create the comfort needed for their performers.

AirViz Puts on a Show-Stopping Performance

 

When Architect, Robert Demmond was approached to help design the interim performing arts building, he utilized MacroAir’s AirViz software. It allowed Mater Dei High School to actually see the potential airflow within this new space. AirViz is a 3D modeling tool that precisely maps airflow in any space using cutting-edge computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software.

Just as the performers use acting methods to put on great performances, AirViz uses science to provide an accurate recommendation. The virtual 3D simulation can tell you the number of fans needed and visually demonstrates the airflow within any space.

“Having that visual helped educate the client. It’s the element that helped sell the technology to that client. It even helped me become smarter about the technology”. –  Robert Demmond, RA, LEED, AP Architect
