Residential Ventilation Association

Mechanical systems will fail to comply with building regulations if they cannot achieve a constant low speed and if required a boost facility during moisture generation Recommendations for Controls ? Refer to manufacturers design drawings or client specification to determine requirements for controlling any system ? Refer to manufacturers installation instructions to ascertain which wiring arrangement is most appropriate for the installation ? A competent person must be responsible for the electrical installation Read more: https://lnkd.in/e9mHcTv5 #ventilationsystem Federation of Environmental Trade Associations (FETA)

Did you know that poor ventilation in your building can create damp, forming into condensation, resulting in mould growth? Fresh air circulation, provided by an effective ventilation system, can help to reduce these risks and ensure healthy indoor air quality For more information on ventilation systems and the benefits they offer, visit our RVA members here: https://lnkd.in/eEVzZaBv #ventilationsystem Federation of Environmental Trade Associations (FETA)

Do’s for Flexible duct: ? Ensure the duct route takes the most economical route out of the building ? Pull flexible duct taut and use only the amount necessary ? Adequately support the duct to avoid movement ? Ensure bends are swept to offer the least amount of resistance Don’ts for Flexible duct: ?? Allow duct route to sag, causing peaks & troughs ?? Pass a duct through an opening that allows a restriction to form causing resistance https://lnkd.in/e9mHcTv5 #ventilationsystem Federation of Environmental Trade Associations (FETA)

Recommendations for Connections ?? Use a good proprietary sealing tape as per manufacturers recommendations on all duct types ?? Mechanically fix flexible connections after taping with a suitably sized cable tie or worm-drive clips ?? Mechanically fix rigid ducts and seal with low modular silicon and/or duct tape to seal joints to aid an airtight connection. ?? Adequately support ductwork to avoid movement and weakening of joints Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e9mHcTv5 #ventilationsystem Federation of Environmental Trade Associations (FETA)

It may be necessary to consider a ventilation system to save energy costs ?? ?? Together with the heat recovery unit, air quality can improve and up to 85% of your property's energy can be saved.

Did you know that the Government has provided an 'Existing home ventilation guide', delivering advice to ensure a well-functioning ventilation system, the benefits of good ventilation, and Building Regulations.

It is vital that ventilation systems are installed correctly to ensure ventilation rates are met. This can be achieved by: - Using rigid ducts for the majority of the installation - Using minimal amounts of flexible duct to aid connections - Minimising bends and taking the most economical route - Providing airtight seals with good quality sealing tape - Providing mechanical fixes with cable ties or worm-drive clips Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e9mHcTv5 #ventilationsystem Federation of Environmental Trade Associations (FETA)

Why effective ventilation systems should be installed correctly: ? Houses are becoming more airtight ? If not installed correctly, ventilation can be dramatically reduced or in some cases non existent ? Without correct installation, the ventilation requirements may not be achieved ? Expensive re work may be required if ducting is incorrectly installed Find out more via our CPD for Domestic Ventilation Guide here: https://lnkd.in/e9mHcTv5 #ventilationsystem Federation of Environmental Trade Associations (FETA)

Ventilation systems take indoor heat to then heat or cool incoming air. This technology can help to keep costs down whilst generating energy efficient air.
