The seminar ‘Understand the importance of effective ventilation in the commercial environment’ from Airflow Developments Ltd guides the participant through the need for better indoor air quality in the UK and the benefits improved indoor air has on the inhabitants and the fabric of the building. Understand the technical aspects of a whole building approach to ventilation and the energy savings that can be achieved by implementing a ventilation strategy in commercial buildings that encompasses Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR). By explaining the principles of operation variants in equipment design, the drivers encouraging specification and the regulatory landscape, including European ErP legislation and its future, and Passive House approval, the participant will learn and understand the features and benefits that this technology can delivery for their projects. Studies have found that improving indoor air quality through providing fresh, clean, filtered, warmed air also has a positive benefit on productivity and occupant wellbeing, including reducing the symptoms of respiratory issues such as asthma. Using MVHR as part of an integrated ventilation system also helps the building to be assed to BREEAM, the most widely used environmental for new buildings. 01494 525252
