Case Studies

Ventilation leader Vent-Axia has supplied over 60 of its Lo-Carbon Multivent MVDC-MSH units to provide effective ventilation at a new nine-storey student accommodation scheme in Manchester. Church Inn, on Higher Cambridge Street, has 62 studio apartments with a Vent-Axia ventilation unit installed in each flat. Energy efficient and quiet, the Multivent MEV unit was the ideal solution for the BREEAM VG scheme, with low energy and noise levels very important in achieving this credit.

Leading British ventilation manufacturer Vent-Axia has supplied its Lo-Carbon PoziDry Compact Pro to successfully tackle persistent condensation and mould in a social housing property.

With COVID restrictions easing, many of us are spending lots of time outside seeing friends and family. But for those with hay fever and other allergies this can be tough. Moreover, having spent so much time indoors during lockdowns, we’ve been exposed to lower levels of pollen to normal. This means a lower level of immunity, which can result in a more severe reaction to pollen¹. Therefore, when we are at home, we want it to be our sanctuary. Nevertheless, pollen can still enter the home causing allergic reactions. What’s the solution?

Vent-Axia continues to lead the way in reliability with one of its Silhouette bathroom fans celebrating its sixteenth birthday. Installed in 2005 in a family home in Hornchurch, Essex during the refurbishment of the property’s main bathroom, the fan is still going strong 16-years later. The Silhouette fan has worked effectively during this time without requiring any attention and continues to improve indoor air quality and combat condensation and mould.

Lo-Carbon Revive 7 fans from leading British ventilation manufacturer, Vent-Axia, are proving crucial in a social housing disrepair case. The fans were installed as part of an extensive renovation of a social housing property to alleviate condensation and mould issues. Yet the problems persisted. Thanks to the fans’ datalogging ability, it has been proven that the fans have been tampered with by the resident. This data is proving crucial in protecting the landlord from being prosecuted.

Vent-Axia has put its Lo-Carbon PoziDry Pro^TM Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) to the test in a real home environment. The PoziDry Pro was installed in a 3-bed home in Reading which suffered from an ongoing condensation and mould problem. Air quality data from before and after the PIV installation showed a sharp decline in both total volatile organic compound (VOC) levels and mould VOC levels after the system was installed, whilst also successfully tackling condensation and mould.

Vent-Axia has supplied a Lo-Carbon Sentinel Kinetic High Flow Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) unit to a 3,000sq ft. self-build smart home in County Down, Northern Ireland. Chosen to provide quiet, energy efficient and effective ventilation and heat recovery, the owners have also monitored its effect on their indoor air quality (IAQ) and have been “blown away” by the results.

Housebuilders and house buyers alike can now be doubly assured that Vent-Axia's Sentinel Kinetic Cooker Hood will improve indoor air quality (IAQ) and so help households stay healthy.

In these difficult times the electrical industry is pulling together to help supply essential products and services to our hospitals as quickly as possible.

Vent-Axia ventilation systems are improving indoor air quality (IAQ) at 614 apartments housing over 1,200 residents at Clippers Quay in Salford. 550 Lo-Carbon Sentinel Kinetic Cooker Hoods, which combine a cooker hood with mechanical ventilation with heat recovery MVHR unit, and 64 Lo-Carbon Sentinel Advance MVHR units were selected.
