To size the correct system we need to know a few things, like:
- Size of your room
- How many people will be exercising
- What simulated altitude you want to achieve
- How quickly you want to reach altitude
- Air leakage rates
We can build a variety of systems from one room to multi rooms. We can also add Temperature and humidity control.
Below gives you a guide to the system you may require.
| Product Number | SKU | Maximum Simulated Altitude | Users | Room Size (m²) | Room Volume (m³) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ALTITUDE 1 | ALT-112 | 5000m | 1 | 0 to 5 | 0 to 15 |
| ALTITUDE 2 | ALT-250 | 5000m | 1 - 2 | 0 to 5 | 0 to 15 |
| ALTITUDE 3 | ALT-375 | 5000m | 2 - 3 | 5 to 8.3 | 15 to 25 |
| ALTITUDE 4 | ALT-4100 | 5000m | 4 - 5 | 8.3 to 16.7 | 25 to 50 |
| ALTITUDE 5 | ALT-5150 | 5000m | 5 - 6 | 16.7 to 26.7 | 50 to 80 |
| ALTITUDE 6 | ALT-6200 | 5000m | 7 - 10 | 26.7 to 40 | 80 to 120 |
| ALTITUDE 7 | ALT-7300 | 5000m | 10 - 15 | 40 to 58.3 | 120 to 175 |
| ALTITUDE 8 | ALT-8500 | 5000m | 15 - 25 | 58.3 to 83.3 | 175 to 250 |
| ALTITUDE 9 | ALT-9800 | 5000m | 25 - 40 | 83.3 to 133.3 | 250 to 400 |
| ALTITUDE 10 | ALT-10100 | 5000m | 40+ | 133.3 to 200 | 400 to 600 |
Full Environmental Chambers
The following table highlights a few of our Full Environmental Chambers which allow precision control of Simulated Altitude, Temperature and Humidity.
| Product Number | SKU | Specification | Users | Room Size (m²) | Room Volume (m³) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SPORT.ENV.1 | SPE-110 | +10 to +40, 30 to 95% rH, 5000m | 4 - 5 | Up to 15 | Up to 45 |
| SPORT.ENV.2 | SPE-230 | +10 to +40, 30 to 95% rH, 5000m | 10 - 15 | 15 - 30 | 45 - 90 |
| SCI.ENV.1 | SCE-110 | -20 to +40, 10 to 95% rH, 5000m | 4 - 5 | Up to 15 | Up to 45 |
| SCI.ENV.2 | SCE-230 | -20 to +40, 10 to 95% rH, 5000m | 10 - 15 | 815 - 30 | 45 - 90 |

Convert O2 to Metres
Use the tool below to convert the O2 % to a simulated altitude in Metres.
CO2 management
You should aim to limit your CO2 levels to 1.5% for exercise sessions and below 0.5% for long term exposure, such as when sleeping. The table to the right indicates your likely CO2 levels with the system you have selected.
How high do you go?
The scientific literature recommends training between 2,000 – 3,000m for maximum gains.
The Altitude Centre in London is set at 2,700m which equates to 15% O2 (28% reduction in oxygen from the usual 20.9% O2).
Our standard systems are designed to achieve 5,000m (11% O2).
