Indoor air quality

Market-leading British ventilation manufacturer, Vent-Axia, and AO, the UK’s most trusted electricals retailer, are celebrating winning the prestigious BEAMA Net Zero Collaboration Award. Recognising outstanding partnerships that contribute to advancing Net Zero, sustainability, and circularity within the electrical industry, the companies scooped the accolade for their pioneering initiative transforming AO’s recycled fridge plastic into high-quality Vent-Axia ventilation products. This innovative partnership, recognised on 27 November at the BEAMA Annual Lunch in London, represents a significant step in sustainable UK manufacturing.

Vent-Axia and Switchee, the leading ventilation manufacturer and smart technology provider in the UK, are joining forces to launch ‘Vent-Axia’s Lo-Carbon Revive 7 with Switchee connectivity’, a proven cutting-edge ventilation solution specifically designed for social housing.

Vent-Axia’s ventilation solutions enhance indoor air quality (IAQ), while Switchee’s controls ensure that heating and ventilation work in harmony, creating a healthier living environment, putting both resident wellbeing and social housing protection at the forefront of property management.

Leading ventilation manufacturer Vent-Axia is welcoming the third, World Ventilation Day, #WorldVentil8Day, a day dedicated to recognising and promoting the importance of ventilation and indoor air quality (IAQ). This year World Ventil8 Day will be held on Friday 8th November 2024, with the theme of ‘Enabling Action’. The day aims to highlight ventilation’s crucial role in healthy buildings and a healthy life, with a particular focus on how to help people improve ventilation in their buildings whether it be a home, a school, a workplace or a social space.

Leading British ventilation manufacturer Vent-Axia impressed the judges at this year’s HVR Awards with its groundbreaking innovation. The Sussex-based company scooped an award for its Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq Cool-Flow within the ‘Domestic Ventilation Product of the Year’ category at the HVR Awards 2024. Designed to help housebuilders manage overheating in new homes, the Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq Cool-Flow is Vent-Axia’s latest flagship mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) system combined with its intelligent Econiq Cool-Flow Module.

Ventilation compliance is a complex area for any social housing landlord, with new requirements having been introduced in the last couple of years.   The team at Vortice can help, offering non-product driven training sessions for local authority teams and social housing providers which explain just how issues within existing housing stock can be addressed and what specification is required for new build social housing.

With over 50 years’ experience in the ventilation market, Vortice is well placed to help providers with the knowledge they need to comply with new building regulations and ventilation standards.  Visit www.vorticemouldsolutions.co.uk to book a free training session.

Leading British ventilation manufacturer Vent-Axia has launched its first Passivhaus-certified Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system, the Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq. With the new Future Homes Standard looking set to reduce carbon emissions for new build homes by a further 75-80% than current Building Regulations, the Sentinel Econiq is designed to provide low carbon heat recovery ventilation for air-tight thermally efficient new build dwellings, making it ideal for Passivhaus projects. The Sentinel Econiq offers exceptional efficiency, near silent operation and complete controllability, providing excellent indoor air quality (IAQ) and occupant comfort.
