Glidevale presents ultra-low maintenance ventilation system
G
lidevale, the specialist building products and ventilation solutions provider, has launched iPSV®, a
humidity-sensitive, intelligent passive stack ventilation system which requires virtually no maintenance once installed. Designed to combat harmful condensation, the energy efficient system is ideally suited to new build social housing and refurbishment projects.
The system has no electrical connections
making installation straightforward. Once fitted, it requires no further adjustments or commissioning. With ‘intelligent’ yet simple components containing very few moving parts this has the net effect of lower lifetime costs.
iPSV offers comparable and in some cases
superior energy efficiency compared with other ventilation systems. Operating without the need
for power, there are no direct CO2 emissions as a result of ventilating a property.
A whole-house ventilation system, iPSV is
controlled by responsive air inlets and extracts which react automatically to changes in relative humidity. When the condensation risk is high, the humidity-sensitive control provides an automatic boost effect to allow greater airflow. As the humidity levels fall, the airflow is reduced. Working silently 24 hours a day with no operating controls or electrical connections, the iPSV system is less likely to be tampered with by occupants, ensuring that the system runs at optimal performance.
“Efficient and effective ventilation is
mandatory under building regulations for modern airtight dwellings and to meet the need for low energy consumption,” says Senior Product Manager Laura Hughes. “Glidevale’s iPSV
With over 30 years in operation, the iPSV
system meets the requirements of Building Regulations and Standards in England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, and is also BBA certified.
