Improving air quality for Decent Homes Standard
Vent-Axia's Residential Marketing Manager, Suzanne Millward gives an update on improving air quality as part of the Decent Homes Standard -
Driving towards more energy-efficient buildings
Vent-Axia's Paul Kilburn assesses the impact of the new Building Regulations Documents F and L.
Both models extract stale air from the bathroom, replacing it with fresh air from outside.
The two air paths flow through the unit's heat exchanger where most of the heat is taken from the extracted air, transferred to the incoming air and delivered back into the bedroom to raise the supply air temperature and reduce relative humidity.
This ensures compliance with the energy efficiency recommendations contained in Part F and Part L of the Building Regulations.
It meets the Building Regulations requirement for bathroom ventilation whilst simultaneously recovering valuable heat which would otherwise be exhausted to the atmosphere.
These units are designed to operate quietly, incorporating a single, low noise 2-speed motor which is enclosed and rated for continuous, low volume ventilation with a boost option.
A variety of control devices are available for manual or automatic speed control, so it can be tailored to individual applications.
The HR100R/RS range is compatible with standard 100mm ducting for connection to internal grilles and external cowl.
The HR100R/RS range can be a cost effective alternative to larger systems which may require a smoke damper in the ducting between each fire compartment.
Through effective ventilation, the new HR100R/RS range can help protect properties from the damaging and costly effect of mould growth, eradicate dampness and reduce humidity levels inside a building.
It provides an extract performance up to 77m3/h FID capacity (balanced airflow) and is capable of improving indoor air quality, removing allergens and the conditions in which they thrive.
All products within the Vent-Axia range of heat recovery systems are fully supported by the company's quick response, technical support team.
