Raising IAQ standards without raising the volume
In today’s homes, true comfort is defi ned not just by temperature, but by what you don’t notice: stale air, noise, and energy loss. At S&P UK, we believe that fresh air should be invisible—quiet, effi cient, and consistent. That’s why our Nashira and Domeo heat recovery ventilation systems have both recently been awarded the prestigious Quiet Mark certifi cation, recognising products that deliver high performance without disrupting the peace of the home.
professionals working from home, or anyone who values a calm environment, a noisy ventilation system can be just as disruptive as poor air quality. Quiet Mark sets the benchmark for low-noise
performance. Both the Nashira and Domeo units have passed rigorous acoustic testing, giving consultants, installers, and end users peace of mind that these systems won’t disturb rest, focus, or wellbeing. Alexander Finch, managing director, S&P UK
Ventilation Systems says: “As ventilation standards evolve, acoustic performance must be part of the conversation. It’s no longer just about airfl ow rates and effi ciency; it’s about how these systems integrate into modern life. Quiet Mark certifi cation is a key part of that—it’s an independent, credible signal that our products are designed with real homes and real people in mind.”
Technical quiet, real results
What does quiet mark really mean?
Quiet Mark is an independent, third-party certifi cation that identifi es the quietest products in each category. Awarded only after rigorous acoustic testing and analysis, it is recognised by specifi ers, architects, and consumers as a trusted standard for low-noise performance. To receive the Quiet Mark, products are evaluated on:
• Sound pressure levels during typical use • Tonality and sound quality (not just volume) • Consistency of performance across settings Only products that combine best-in-class noise
reduction with functional performance receive certifi cation. For residential ventilation, this means systems that ventilate eff ectively—without becoming part of the background noise. Quiet Mark’s mission is to raise awareness of the impact of sound on wellbeing and support design decisions that promote quieter, more comfortable environments.
Why quiet matters
As homes become more airtight to meet energy standards, the need for high-quality ventilation continues to grow. But that need can’t come at the expense of acoustic comfort. For families,

• Nashira Series: Off ers up to 94% thermal effi ciency, built-in humidity sensors, Modbus
connectivity, and a compact profi le for easy ceiling installation. Engineered with built-in humidity sensors and advanced airfl ow controls for optimal comfort and energy effi ciency • Domeo: Delivers up to 92% sensible heat recovery with ultra-compact dimensions and backward curved EC fans. Ideal for projects where space is limited but IAQ can’t be compromised. Both units off er remote control, Connectair
compatibility, and effi cient EC motors—giving specifi ers the fl exibility they need and users the reliability they expect.

Case Study: Nashira in a brand-new student accommodation project
Nashira units have been specifi ed for the Fusion M1 student accommodation development in central Manchester — a high-profi le scheme delivering 140 apartments in a brand-new residential building.
Designed by building services consultants
Novo, and delivered on-site by Matic for Domis Construction, the project required a compact, energy-effi cient ventilation solution that could meet acoustic and installation demands typical of high-density living. The Nashira was chosen for its Quiet Mark certifi cation, airfl ow performance, and ease of installation within shallow ceiling voids. The system will support enhanced indoor air quality and acoustic comfort across the development’s studio and cluster apartments, aligning with the client’s expectations for low- maintenance, spec-grade systems that support long-term student wellbeing.
