Heating and Ventilation

Titon announces the launch of the HRV Cool Plus™, specifically designed to provide cooling in warmer weather conditions and tackle residential overheating.

Titon’s HRV Cool Plus™ is engineered to seamlessly integrate into heat recovery ventilation (MVHR) systems, delivering cooling and filtered air to enhance user comfort. With its integrated cooling module, the cutting-edge unit pre-cools incoming fresh air during warmer months, ensuring a comfortable indoor environment.

In the realm of social housing, the challenge of mould and damp demands urgent attention. These issues not only compromise the aesthetic appeal of properties but also pose serious health risks to residents if left unaddressed. Following recent legislative amendments emphasising the necessity of safe and habitable living conditions, there is heightened pressure to tackle these concerns promptly, especially considering tragic incidents such as the passing of Awaab Ishak.

Ventilation industry leader Vent-Axia is celebrating Global Recycling Day, which takes place on 18 March 2024. This year the theme for Global Recycling Day is ‘Recycling Heroes’. Vent-Axia is committed to reducing its environmental impact and has set clear sustainability targets including that 90% of the plastic it uses in its own manufacturing to be from recycled sources by the end of FY2025. Currently this figure is already at 83% and the company is on track to hit the 90% figure. Vent-Axia has achieved this by leading the way in the ventilation sector with a market transformation to manufacturing from recycled material to improve indoor air sustainably.

Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHPs) are a type of heating technology that absorb and concentrate heat from the air outside and use it to heat homes.  They are more efficient and environmentally friendly than traditional fossil fuel heating systems.

Lee Kenney, Sales and Country Regional Manager for UK and Ireland at Henco, tells us more about the new Part L Legislation and how UK homes can benefit from faster installation times and a more cost-effective solution by using the Henco pre-insulated multilayer piping system for heating projects requiring Part L compliance.

Optimism and excitement should be the order of the day. 2023 ended with an agreement at COP28 for a “transition” that should signal the “beginning of the end” of fossil fuels – the main driver of climate change. 2024 begins with high expectations in the UK of what can be achieved to get ever closer to net zero.
