Although the REEXS-principle Reinforced Exhaust System) has been the object of numerous investigations, who found substantial improvements compared to ordinary local exhaust ventilation hoods, it is far from being generally accepted and used. A Swiss team consisting of researchers of the ETHZ (Swiss federal institute of technology), the EMPA (Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Testing and Research) and the company Sulzer Infra have started a project for further investigations of REEXS hoods in the frame of the COST G3 action Industrial Ventilation. The project aims to overcome the barriers, that prevent planners from applying the REEXSprinciple.
