Vent-Axia’s Sentinel Apex gains Passivhaus Certification
V
ent-Axia, has gained Passivhaus Certification
for its award-winning Sentinel Apex commercial Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) range. Passivhaus is a method of creating buildings that require very little energy for heating or cooling whilst maintaining exceptional indoor comfort.
The certification is a performance-based standard that is increasingly important to specifiers who need the lowest carbon building solutions. With its class-leading performance number, gaining this certification confirms that the Sentinel Apex is ideal for low and zero-carbon buildings, especially beneficial with the Net Zero 2050 deadline approaching. The Sentinel Apex also continues to deliver, ‘Simply more as Standard’, as the Passivhaus Certified models are available at no extra cost.
“We are delighted that our Sentinel Apex commercial MVHR units have achieved the globally recognised Passivhaus Certification thanks to their excellent performance number and thermal efficiency. The Sentinel Apex has been designed to help specifiers on their decarbonisation journey, maximising its energy efficiency and performance, while providing excellent IAQ, ultra-low sound levels, and thermal comfort, making the units ideal for Passivhaus projects. Not only that, but as Passivhaus buildings use up to 90% less heating and cooling than conventional buildings, end-users can benefit from lower energy bills too,” said Alexis Roberts, channel marketing manager at Vent-Axia.
Designed to operate on the principles of demand ventilation, the Sentinel Apex is ideal for applications where the rooms are used at different times of the day by a variable number of people such as libraries, classrooms and offices.

Siemens adopts traffic light approach for newly designed range of IAQ sensors
A
complete redesign of the Siemens range of room sensors has indoor air quality (IAQ) as a central focus, with the introduction of a traffic light system to enable any issues to be identified at a glance. Many IAQ sensors indicate the levels of CO2 parts per million for a given environment. However, without information regarding what constitutes an ideal level in terms of air quality, this can be effectively meaningless. This has brought the introduction of a simple yet powerful tool to address this challenge: CO2 traffic light sensors, with a green, amber or red light indicating the respective good to bad levels of air quality in real time. Ron Purcell is a product manager with Siemens Buildings and comments: “There are numerous applications in which this will be a real benefit in ensuring that air quality is optimised. Taking
education as an example, there have been many studies which highlight how poor air quality can have a detrimental impact on the ability to learn. Research suggests that keeping CO2 levels below 1,000ppm can increase productivity by between 2-18%. However, it is unreasonable to expect a teacher to have an in-depth understanding or the time to constantly monitor CO2 levels, whereas a simple red light provides an immediate alert that the air quality is poor and that it is time to open a window or improve the air circulation through the building’s BMS.”
