Leading British ventilation manufacturer Vent-Axia has scooped the ‘Domestic Ventilation Product of the Year’ award at the prestigious H&V News Awards.
The Sussex-based company secured the accolade for its Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq range of Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR). The win demonstrates Vent-Axia’s design leadership, providing a range of effective whole-house ventilation solutions to help overcome the challenges the New-Build Residential sector faces.
The winners of the H&V News Awards were announced at a glittering ceremony held on 26 November at London’s Grosvenor House. Judged by an esteemed panel of industry experts, the company was praised for its impact, expertise and commitment to excellence.
“We are thrilled to be recognised by the industry for our design innovation and commitment to improving indoor air sustainably…As homes become more thermally efficient and external temperatures rise, housebuilders are finding it more challenging to achieve the requirements set out to mitigate overheating risk in Part O and TM59 standards.
The Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq MVHR series delivers a comprehensive choice of solutions, from Passivhaus certified units to models offering additional cooling,” said Steve Pearce, product manager at Vent-Axia.
Designed to provide effective energy-efficient ventilation to meet the demands of Net-Zero homes, the Sentinel Econiq range also tackles one of the fastest-growing challenges for housebuilders: overheating. The Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq range delivers good indoor air quality (IAQ), energy-efficient performance and year-round thermal comfort, aiding compliance with Part O of the Building Regulations.
The range includes four core models: the Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq; Passivhaus-certified units; the Sentinel Econiq Cool-Flow; and the Sentinel Econiq-Cool (KERS). Offering coolth or heat recovery efficiencies up to 93% and best-in-class Specific Fan Powers (SFPs), the range also boasts near-silent operation. The Passivhaus models similarly boast excellent coolth or heat recovery and a specific electric power as low as 0.22 Wh/m3. Meanwhile, the whole Lo-Carbon Sentinel Econiq range offers an intelligent summer bypass to enable nighttime cooling.
