Launched in the BEAMA Village at the InstallerSHOW, NEC, Vent-Axia is supporting BEAMA’s ‘Guidance for Improving Indoor Air Quality in Existing Homes’.
The guide explains the risks of poor indoor air quality in existing homes due to inadequate ventilation and sets out general ventilation guidance in three parts: ventilation requirements when undertaking energy efficiency measures; selecting and installing suitable extract ventilation and commissioning new or upgraded ventilation in dwellings.
“At Vent-Axia we support BEAMA’s guidance on indoor air quality in existing homes. Over the last few years, we have seen the real consequences of sealing up homes and insulating them to make them more energy efficient, resulting in indoor air pollution. Amended Part F has started to redress the balance of ventilation with energy efficiency, however, not everyone is aware of the changes or how to comply with them. The BEAMA guide includes useful guidance for installers on how to comply with Part F and provide effective ventilation, and so improve indoor air quality in existing homes. The easiest and safest way for installers to comply with Part F is to choose continuous ventilation for existing homes since it is compliant with both category B and C,” said Natasha King, product manager at Vent-Axia.
