VentSim DESIGN
In August of 2018 Howden acquired Chasm Consulting and their suite of software products, including Ventsim™. After this purchase, Howden has renamed this mine ventilation design software to VentSim DESIGN. This simulation software package is designed to model and simulate ventilation, airflows, pressures, heat, gases, financials, radon, fire and many other types of ventilation data from a model for tunnels and shafts. In February 2018 we released version 5 of VentSim DESIGN with enhanced capabilities, including integration with fan selection software.
