"This new seminar gives clear guidance for house builders and their contractors and is the industry's firm commitment to drive up standards in the new build sector".
"The seminar also gives a risk assessment of what can go wrong if poor design and installation practice goes unchecked".
Tom Dee, Chairman of the RVA says, "For many years manufacturers have been producing ventilation products and systems to meet ever demanding operating conditions, but to many people, ventilation meant simply opening a window".
"However with rising fuel prices, opening a window is no longer an option".
"For the health and well being of the occupants, protection of the building fabric and meeting Building Regulations, a correctly installed ventilation system is required".
"This new industry seminar describes the various ventilation options, the specific installation requirements and commissioning procedures in an easily understood manner".
The seminar is available from BEAMA and RVA members.
Housebuilders, MandE consultants and contractors are urged to contact their ventilation supplier for more details.
