Integration module brings ventilation controls onto a single platform


EC-Link is a new integration module that allows Nuaire and Monodraught ventilation equipment to be monitored and controlled through a shared platform. Initially developed for schools, it connects Nuaire’s EcoSmart Classic controls with Monodraught’s Acuity central monitoring system, providing live data on equipment runtime, faults and energy use. The module also allows Nuaire products to work with Monodraught’s


Modena wall controller, which uses temperature and CO2 sensors and a touchscreen to adjust fan speeds and temperature set points. Compatible equipment includes Monodraught units, Nuaire’s XBOXER commercial heat recovery units, Aire-Volve fans and DAVE supply and extract fans. In multi-room applications, EC-Link can link up to six rooms to a


single XBOXER XBC+ mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) unit, automatically adjusting fan speeds. It can also control modulating dampers and separate heating or cooling valves. The system can simplify integration with a building management


system (BMS) by reducing the number of BACnet points required and associated licensing costs. Centralised monitoring can also help building operators assess ventilation performance and energy consumption. ◼ phamnews.co.uk/1126/61

Thermal ducting all-in-one solution


Domus Ventilation has introduced an all-in-one insulated ducting range, giving installers a choice of solutions for residential ventilation projects. The new system combines the duct and thermal


insulation in a single lightweight component. A clamping mechanism provides a secure connection without requiring separate sealant or tape, simplifying installation in lofts, ceiling voids and restricted spaces. Available in rectangular sizes of 204


x 60mm and 220 x 90mm, the range includes straight lengths and 45° and 90° horizontal and vertical bends. It uses eco-effi cient materials and complies with relevant Building Regulations


requirements for insulated ventilation ductwork. The range complements Domus Thermal’s


existing system, which uses purpose-designed insulation fi tted around rigid ductwork. Both solutions are designed for ductwork passing through unheated spaces, particularly intake and exhaust ducts


serving MVHR systems. Insulation helps reduce heat transfer and the risk of condensation


forming on or within ductwork, protecting the ventilation system and surrounding building materials. ◼ phamnews.co.uk/1126/63
