Ventilation was catapulted into the limelight on the 29 April as Professor Jonathan Van-Tam, deputy chief medical officer, stated in the Government’s COVID-19 briefing that “…ventilation is a most critical part of reducing transmission from respiratory viruses'. What’s more, the Government’s COVID-19 recovery strategy includes 'Keep Indoor Places Well Ventilated' as a key principle. Jenny Smith, head of marketing at Vent-Axia, explains more.
kickstart sales and get back to business. Ventilation is now more important than ever before due to the pandemic, and the vital role ventilation plays in reducing the transmission of COVID-19 has become increasingly clear in recent weeks. Increasing scientific evidence has confirmed

aerosol transmission of COVID-19, making it riskier to be inside than outside due to a lack of airflow. It's therefore vital to dilute the virus in inside air through effective ventilation and increased airflow to lower the risk of COVID-19 transmission.
Not only does effective ventilation dilute the virus in the air, it also removes indoor air pollution, improving IAQ. Electrical wholesalers should be sure to educate electricians on the benefits of good ventilation and the choices on offer so that they in turn can help their customers stay healthy. With a staggering 65% of UK homes suffering from poor IAQ as a result of inadequate ventilation, there is plenty of scope for wholesalers to increase ventilation sales. For example, Vent-Axia’s PureAir Sense has been carefully designed to improve the air households breathe. The fan is equipped with a pioneering odour sensor that increases airflow when the air is poor, helping ensure a comfortable and healthy living environment with good airflow.
Time for a change New research from Checkatrade found that, during the lockdown, over a third of Brits no longer like at least one room in their home, with kitchens and bathrooms proving the most unpopular. For households that want to renovate their bathroom, this often includes replacing a noisy fan. A great solution is Vent- Axia’s new and improved Silent Fan Range which is still the quietest bathroom fan available at just 12 dB(A). The popular Silent Fan now has eight models offering increased flexibility and choice for electricians and households. Thanks

to the new Silent Fan range boasting an IP45- rating and including variable speed models, humidistat options and up to a 5-year-warranty, it has never been simpler to select the right silent fan for the job. Another great feature for improving IAQ is an
intelligent, fully automatic humidistat. Fans with this feature, such as the Vent-Axia PureAir Sense, the Svara and the Silent Fan, learn to run only when they can make a difference to IAQ. Meanwhile, both the PureAir Sense and Svara are also App controlled, allowing households to take control of their IAQ and adapt their ventilation to suit their lifestyle – more great selling points. Another benefit of App-controlled fans is that they really speed up installation, making them

attractive for electricians with multiple installation and commissioning options. This makes these fans ideal for the vast majority of projects, so wholesalers don’t have to carry as much stock freeing up space in cramped warehouses too. With ventilation shown to be key in reducing transmission of COVID-19 indoors, and with households being ever more aware of air they breathe, creating a healthy home environment has never been more important. Wholesalers have a great opportunity to educate their customers about the benefits of effective ventilation in reducing transmission of the virus and improving IAQ, thereby increasing sales while playing their part in making homes healthier and safer.
