Knowledge Base
Read our brand new Guide to Ventilation for advice and tips on ventilation, improving your knowledge of the subject.This guide has advice on building regulations, energy saving tips and gives you information on all the different types of ventilation systems, so you can choose the best one for you.
Our extensive knowledge base helps to achieve:
Government targets in sustainability:
- Heat recovery technology is an affordable, effective and proven way to reduce carbon emissions, help home-owners make substantial energy savings, and achieve a healthy, unpolluted indoor environment
- Wastage from open windows, extractor fans and trickle vents can account for as much as 40% of an energy bill – our systems recycle wastage
- By recovering and reusing up to 98% of extracted heat, our systems provide a super-efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional extraction ventilation systems
- Our long-life, low-energy DC motors further reduce overall running costs and carbon footprints
Energy Saving in all areas:
- At the heart of our systems is a high efficiency ‘heat exchanger’ that recovers up to 98% of the heat from extracted air, transferring it back in to the incoming fresh air
- With better insulation, draught-proofing and double glazing all helping to keep our homes ‘greener’, our systems go one step further by keeping condensation and stale-air build up to a minimum
- Our systems are cost-effective to run and use just the same amount of energy as a normal light bulb
Technical expertise and support:
We offer an unrivalled choice of systems suitable for all indoor environments. These include the:
- Heat Recovery Ventilation system
- Central Extract Ventilation system
- Passive Stack Ventilation system
- Positive Input Ventilation system
- Central Vacuum System
Our technical team is constantly striving to keep up with the latest research and development in ventilation systems, and our technical service department is always on hand to provide best practice installation and product selection advice either in person or by phone.
Compliance with Building Regulations
Ventilation is a requirement of Part F and Part L of Building Regulations (England & Wales) Part 3.14 (Scotland), Part F (Republic of Ireland) and Building Regulation (Northern Ireland).
It also plays a major part in Government initiatives such as:
- the Code for Sustainable Homes (Ecohomes in Scotland)
- SAP – the Government’s Standard Assessment Procedure for calculating the energy performance of dwellings.
These sustainable Building Regulation requirements are at the heart of our aims:
- to improve the energy efficiency of all types of buildings
- to work towards the government’s target of ‘zero carbon’ homes by 2016
- to be more than ready for the airtight home of 2016
- to offer cost effect alternatives to conventional ventilation methods
