Specification Range Ventilation Solutions A warm welcome to the latest edition of the Vent-Axia Specification Range catalogue. Legislative pressures continue to build, and this is our first publication following the new ErP legislation that came into force on 1st January 2016. As part of the ongoing drive for energy efficiency within Europe, ventilation devices over 30 Watts come under the scope of the Energy Related Products Directive. The legislation sets minimum performance criteria across a range of fans and ventilation devices under two sets of legislation; ‘residential’ ventilation...

Specification Range Legislation Approved Document F 2010 - Means of Ventilation Guidance is available for ventilation of basements in houses and trickle ventilation for replacement windows. The purpose of this regulation is to ensure adequate means of ventilation is provided for people in the building. According to the document, ventilation is the ‘removal of stale air from a building and replacement with fresh outside air.’ Compliance with Part F requires installed performance to meet the ventilation rates quoted in the Document. This means that ventilation has to be commissioned and...

Energy Related Products Directive (ErP) As part of the ongoing drive for energy efficiency within Europe, as of January 2016 ventilation devices over 30 Watts come under the scope of the Energy Related Products Directive. The legislation sets minimum performance criteria across a range of fans and ventilation devices under two sets of legislation; ‘residential’ ventilation and ‘non-residential’ ventilation. MVHR and MEV products These products do come into the scope of the legislation and will carry an energy label. There are some minimum energy efficiency requirements as well as the...

Specification Range Non-Residential Ranges Non-Residential products have had minimum performance and efficiency levels established, but there is no requirement to introduce energy labels. Some products have been updated with new motors and enabled for speed control. Example of new modular format - T-Series Range The T-Series will now be purchased in a modular form. You will buy the Fan Core size that you need e.g. 9”, and you will then select the kit you need for the application e.g Window kit. This will give you the flexibility to use the Fan Core with any kit, as required. Within the...

Specification Range Energy Related Products Directive (ErP) 2. Unidirectional ventilation units This includes products that are one direction only, and where there is a secondary housing around a fan. Other product ranges have been rationalised to provide one solution, these include: ARH – rationalised to MFQ This is the product category which has required the most changes. The impact of the efficiency legislation has meant that it has become virtually impossible to comply using a forward curved AC centrifugal fan. We will therefore be moving to backward curved centrifugal fans in all of...

Specification Range Future Direction - Drive towards energy efficiency Things have moved on a bit since 1992 when ventilation was first introduced into the Building Regulations. Here is an overview of the changes from 2006. 2006 – Part F included continuous ventilation for the first time. Ventilation systems were being installed by skilled persons but the performance data was never tested. Part L changes meant that SAP Q products could be included as part of the dwelling’s SAP calculations. – Design, install and ensure its used correctly. With dwellings being designed with increased energy...
