Vent-Axia welcomes new Infection Resilient


T


he National Engineering Policy Centre (NEPC) report, ‘Infection Resilient Environments: Time for a Major Upgrade’, reveals that infection control measures could save up to £23 billion a year if there is another pandemic. It also recommends that the operational performance of buildings, including ventilation and infection resilience, should be regulated going forwards.


Commissioned in 2021 by the Government Chief Scientific Adviser, Sir Patrick Vallance, the new research, led by the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), set out to identify the measures needed to reduce transmission of infectious diseases in the UK’s built environment and transport systems. Ventilation has been

Termtech launches premium conduit range


Market leading supplier of cable accessories to the electrical wholesaler sector, Termtech, has launched Premflex, a premier range of conduit and glands.


A


vailable in a wide range of materials to meet the needs of almost any


environment, Premflex specification includes Bare Galv, PVC Coated Galv and LSZH Coated Galv with sizes ranging from M16 up to M50, bulk coil sizes or contractor packs.


Steve Parry, commercial director of Termtech, commented: “This is a brand new product range that caters for those contractors looking for a high quality product built to last and packaged to help make installation easy.


“Premflex was designed and produced in response to customer feedback who were keen to see a Termtech product that competed at the

high end of the conduit market.” Designed in both a fixed and swivel gland option across the entire range, the product is available boxed, on a high quality drum for transport.


Steve added: “As ever, we are keen to supply the wholesaler with as much marketing support as possible to help raise awareness of our products and we will supply a pull up banner for each new stockist. “Premflex is already generating a lot of interest and we expect to see strong take-up from our UK-wide wholesaler customer base.” www.termtech.co.uk


found to be a key part of achieving this. In the foreword of the new report, Professor Chris Whitty, Chief Medical Officer for England, says: “The COVID-19 pandemic has shown again how people’s risk of being infected by respiratory infections is heavily influenced by their environment. Engineering interventions, such as effective ventilation indoors, can help to reduce transmission of many infections in places of work, study, at home, and on public transport.” The report confirms that healthy buildings are good for infection resilience, but are also good for health, saving employers money due to less absences and better productivity. Vent-Axia welcomes the new report and agrees with its findings on ventilation improving infection resilience and improving productivity.


The report further states that improving ventilation, air quality

and sanitation in buildings could minimise transmission, reducing the number of people infected, thereby saving lives and reducing ill health and its societal impacts.


Vent-Axia is well prepared to help ensure buildings are healthy through effective


ventilation hand-in-hand with CO2 monitors to check indoor air quality. For non-residential


properties, Vent-Axia’s range of CO2 sensors can be discreetly located on a wall and can intelligently boost ventilation based on the


detected CO2 levels. They can also provide a warning indication for occupants if CO2 levels rise above acceptable levels. Vent-Axia also offers


a range of ventilation solutions including the Sentinel D-Box Fan range, which are suitable for continuous fresh air supply or extract of stale air or both. These fans can be connected to a


CO2 sensor for optimal air quality control. +44 (0)344 856 0590 www.vent-axia.com
