Passivent creates quiet ventilation for hotels

With the UK currently building more hotel bedrooms than any other country in Europe, Passivent is creating the quietest internal environment with optimum cost effectiveness.

Latest statistics reveal the UK currently has more than 25,000 bedrooms in the active pipeline - all of which need to be efficiently ventilated, without letting external noise disturb guests.

Passivent's latest addition to its background ventilation range, the Acoustic Overglass Vent Bar, reduces road noise penetration to an indoor ambient noise level of just 35dB.

It still provides a high level of ventilation and minimises ingress of airborne pollutants.

The collection of window and through-wall ventilators achieve the specific demands of hotel construction and refurbishment.

Passivent's tricklevents and Fresh through-wall ventilators help hotel developers in ensuring compliance with relevant building regulations such as PPG24 Planning and Noise: 1994, BS8233: sound insulation and noise reduction for buildings: 1999, and CIBSE B2, allowing 10-15 ACH.

The systems are already proven, being used by, among others, Accor in its IBIS brand, Travelodge and Village Hotels, at locations as noisy as adjacent to a motorway and opposite Heathrow Airport.

Passivent also provides a range of ventilation solutions appropriate for en-suite bathrooms, including the Intellivent decentralised mechanical extraction, which runs quietly but continuously to ensure ventilation is always provided, boosting extraction automatically when required.

Intellivent is complemented by Passivent's iMEV intelligent mechanical extract ventilation system, in which humidity sensitive extracts open and close to adjust ventilation according to demand, powered by a remotely located, quiet, low energy fan.

Passivent has produced a background ventilation brochure for specifiers, including all window and through-wall ventilators, both with and without acoustic options, all with easy reference equivalent ventilation area statistics and 'cut and paste' specification clauses, which can be downloaded at the company's website.

The site also includes details of the company's range of natural and mixed mode ventilation solutions for commercial building.
