Vent-Axia Ventilation
Design Guidelines
This table provides suggested air changes
per hour (ACH) under normal conditions
based on Vent-Axias extensive experience.
Successful planning
Today, people are becoming increasingly
aware of the problems of indoor pollution
and the important contribution that
well-planned ventilation makes to modern
living.
Damaging condensation affects 4.5

million homes in the UK alone. This
can quickly cause paintwork and
wallpaper to deteriorate and encourages
mould, stains and a deterioration of the
property. So people are faced with
the expensive cost of redecorating.
Unfortunately, modern thermally efficient
buildings are not designed to encourage
natural ventilation. The Building
Regulations are recognising this problem
and, nationally, local authorities are
specifying higher rates of ventilation.
When installing ventilation it is most
important to obtain maximum efficiency
from the investment so proper planning is
essential.
The correct size, type and number of

Vent-Axia units required for any area is
determined by three factors: the room
size, its use and location.
First, work out the volume of the room by
multiplying length x width x height. This
volume is then multiplied by the required
number of air changes per hour (ACH)
given in the table to give the total air
movement required per hour. Select the
number of fans necessary to achieve the
desired volume.
The Building Regulations (Document F)
require the following ventilation rates on
new dwellings:
Kitchen areas: an extract rate of no less
than 216m3/h 60 l/sec. For calculation
purposes we recommend a minimum air
change rate of 15 per hour.
Utility rooms: an extract rate of no less
than 108m3/h 30 l/sec. For calculation
Bathrooms: an extract rate of no less than
54m 3 /h 15 l/sec. For calculation

WCs: an extract rate of no less than

6 l/sec. For calculation purposes we
recommend a minimum air change rate
of 6 per hour.
* Increase by 50% where heavy smoking

occurs or if the room is underground.
The new requirements are designed to

remove steam and smells at source before
they are able to migrate causing damage
to colder parts of the dwelling.
The total extract airflow rate during normal

operation of a continuous mechanical
ventilator eg. MultiVent etc, should be
between 0.5 and 0.7 ACH. This is based on
the whole dwelling volume, with provision to
increase the inlet volume, as required, in
moisture generation areas.
18
# Some commercial kitchens may require

higher ventilation rates, based on cooking
equipment in use.
In rooms containing fuel burning

appliances, care should be taken to
ensure that air replacement is
adequate for both the fan and the fuel
burning appliance.
Wiring should be carried out in
accordance with current IEE
regulations (UK) or the appropriate
Standards in your country.
Always check that the supply voltage,
fuse rating and wiring are correct and
that installation is in accordance with
the instructions provided with the
product.
Bathrooms
Vent-Axia recommends that mains
voltage fans be sited out of reach of a
person using a fixed bath or shower.
Ensure that mains fans and controls are
sited well away from all sources of
water spray. We recommend that
electrical products of this kind
be installed in accordance with
mandatory regulations and their official
guidance documents.
General
KITCHEN APPLICATIONS
Ventilation units should be placed as high

as possible in the window or wall near
any local smells and steam but not directly
above eye level grills, cookers or direct
sources of heat in excess of +40C. Do
not site in areas containing excessive
levels of grease without suitable filters.
In large rooms the extract points should
be positioned correctly to obtain even
ventilation in all areas. A short circuit of
airflow will be avoided by siting units as
far away as practicable from the main
source of air replacement.
RIGHT
WRONG
Maintenance
Site the fan so that it is accessible for
regular periodic cleaning and servicing.
Make sure that grilles, motor cooling ports
and impellers are able to function freely in
accordance with guarantee requirements.
Electrical equipment should be isolated
before carrying out any maintenance or
cleaning. All fans should be regularly
cleaned and checked, (every month or
so, dependent on usage). Bearings should
be oiled where appropriate twice a year,
unless stated otherwise.
Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) fans

are available for installation within
bath or shower rooms in accordance
with relevant wiring regulations. The
mains transformer control unit with SELV
output must be sited away from any
source of water spray and out of reach
of a person using a fixed bath or
shower.
DUCTED APPLICATIONS THROUGH

ROOF VOIDS
HORIZONTAL DUCT
Ducted applications
Ducts passing through an unheated
roof void should be insulated to
minimize condensate formation and
must include a condensation trap and
means of running off condensate.
Vertical ducts should be fitted with a
condensation trap and a weather
proof cowl of sufficient free area for
the air volume. Horizontal ducts should
fall away from the fan unit.
SELV fan installation
VERTICAL DUCT
Ensure pipes have a vertical overlap.

Ventilation Guidelines
Effective ventilation is now regarded

as a necessity because no-one can
feel their best or work efficiently in air
that contains smells, smoke, moisture or
excessive heat. Stale air in pubs, clubs,
offices and workshops is bad for
business. In the stuffy atmosphere
created by lack of ventilation, colds,
flu and airborne viruses will quickly
spread. Vent-Axia controlled ventilation
can help in all these situations
and reduces lost output caused by
absenteeism through illness.

Condensation Control
What is condensation ?
There is always some moisture in the air,
even though we cannot see it. When that
moisture is allowed to accumulate in a
dwelling, the atmosphere becomes
saturated and condensation occurs which
can eventually result in damage to the
structure of the building and its contents.
This leads to expensive repairs and
maintenance plus associated discomfort to
the occupants. The point at which moist
air may begin to cause deterioration is
70% Relative Humidity (RH).
The British Isles have a naturally humid

environment. A humidity map will show
the regions which are regularly at, or in
excess, of 70% RH. An estimated 4.5
million British homes suffer from the
damaging effects of condensation.
Therefore we need to take extra
measures in this country to prevent the
expensive consequences of condensation
such as rotting window frames, peeling
wallpaper, mould growth, damp and
eventually, rotting of the building fabric
itself.
Not only does moist air cause problems

to the fabric of the building but also to
air quality and health. People who suffer
from asthma or any other bronchial
problems can have their condition
aggravated by a moist environment.
The microscopic droppings of the house
dust mite can cause asthma, rhinitis,
bronchial and other allergic problems.
Constant wholehouse ventilation can
reduce the relative humidity to below
70%, which inhibits the ideal living
and breeding conditions of the house
dust mite.
How to control
condensation
The results of condensation in a building
can be reduced by a combination of
measures: heating, correct insulation and
properly sited ventilation. Controlled
mechanical ventilation however, removes
moisture laden air at source before it can
condense, creating background level
ventilation throughout the dwelling.
Meeting the Regulations
controlled environment. Humidity

controllers can either be mounted
separately or contained within the fan,
the latter being convenient and easy
to install.
Safety Extra Low Voltage

fans (SELV)
VA100, Solo, Solo Plus, LuminAir and
LoWatt. Designed for areas where a fan
has to be fitted over a bath or within a
shower room, the Vent-Axia Safety Extra
Low Voltage fans can be installed within
the spray area of a bath or shower.
Control is by EN60 742 (BS 3535)
mains safety isolating transformer unit
with SELV output, which is sited away
from any source of spray and out of
reach of a person using a fixed bath or
shower. Available with the option of an
adjustable humidity controller.
To comply with low voltage directives,
Vent-Axia SELV units have been
independently tested in accordance with
UK and European Safety Extra Low
Voltage (SELV) requirements, and have
as a result been granted BEAB or
GS approval based on CENELEC
harmonised standards. The SELV 12
versions of the VA100, Solo and
LuminAir fans are certified as meeting the
requirement of IPX7 (BS EN60529).
IEE regulations for bathrooms
Classification of zones
Bathrooms are defined as areas of increased electrical hazard.

According to the Requirements for Electrical Installations, IEE
Wiring Regulations Sixteenth Edition, it is necessary to fit
ventilation products that meet a minimum of IPX4 in zones 1
and 2 of a bathroom. This means that when installed and
connected electrically, the product should prevent the ingress of
water splashing and remain electrically safe in use.
Vent-Axia SELV fans are IPX7, which makes them the safest
option available, and with a SELV supply offers complete
peace of mind. Vent-Axia offers a range of IPX4 fans which
also meets the regulations. A competent electrician should
install the product to ensure the integrity of IPX4 is maintained
around cable entries etc.
Zone 0:
The interior of the bath or shower tray.
Zone 1:
The exterior of the bath or shower tray to a

height of 2.25 metres above the floor.
Zone 2:
Extends to 0.60 metres beyond Zone 1 to a

height of 2.25 metres above the floor.
Zone 3.
Extends to 2.4 metres beyond Zone 2 to a height

of 2.25 metres above the floor.
For full information please refer to BS 7671 2001.

Vent-Axia still recommends that any fans installed within
Zones 1 and 2 should be SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage)

Vent-Axia Solo HP2 (Humidity

sensing) - Humidity controlled auto-variable
speed fan. Variatronic circuitry automatically
varies the extract rate according to the humidity
level thus ensuring minimum energy usage and
low sound levels. The fan switches On to low
speed when humidity reaches the set level and
increases in speed as moisture level rises
towards saturation. High speed override by
pullcord, room light or other remote switch.
Humidity adjustment 62-82% RH.
Vent-Axia Solo HT (Humidistat- timer) Humidity controlled auto-variable speed fan.

Automatically varies the extract rate according
to the humidity level thus ensuring minimum
energy usage and low sound levels. The fan
switches On to low speed when humidity
reaches approx. 70% RH and increases in
speed as the moisture level rises to saturation.
Overrun timer variable from 5 to 25 minutes.
When the light is switched On, the fan switches
from auto humidity control to full speed. When
the light is switched Off, the fan will continue to
run for the pre-set period and then revert to auto
humidity control.

System 25 flat ducting has been specifically
designed to be used in conjunction with a
version of the Solo and the new Solo Plus fan
ranges.
For further details see page 38-47.
System 25 is specifically designed for

concealed installation between the concrete
slab and the plasterboard ceiling of the dwelling
below. Fire shutters are not normally necessary
when the ducting system is contained within one
fire compartment. Where System 25 passes
through a fire wall, special System 25 duct
closers are available.

Moulded, with built-in guide vanes.
System 25 Straight Duct

Available in 2.4m lengths with built-in guide
vanes. 215 x 25mm.
System 25 components are simply pushed

together using moulded connectors with integral
'push-fit' seals which eliminate the need for
sealants or tape. Unsightly marks associated with
sheet metal systems are therefore prevented.
System 25 offers many advantages over

traditional sheet metal flat ducting being less than
half the weight, non-corrodible, non-reverberant
and easy to cut with a conventional saw.

Vent-Axia LoWatt fans feature LoWatt long life DC energy saving motors that last 5 times
longer than conventional motors, whilst delivering up to 80% energy savings. The
extended life of LoWatt fans is due to the use of a new generation of high quality
electronically controlled ball-bearing motors especially developed for this range. The
motors are perfectly designed for the wet conditions of utility rooms and kitchens,
extracting stale, moisture-laden air quietly and efficiently.
Vent-Axia LoWatt fans have instant shutters using

patented Integral Magnetronic Control (IMC)
technology ensuring that the fan is only open to
the outside world when it is working - with no
extra power used to operate the shutter. This
means that the only air to escape is the air
extracted. When the fan stops the shutter closes
firmly, until the fan operates again.

Freshvent 100 is a range of passive ventilators that simply and naturally provide the
effective ventilation needed by everyone working and living in an indoor environment.
When used with positive pressure ventilation, Freshvent 100 provides an important outlet
for air circulating around the house. Stale air is expelled through the unit to the outside
without letting in noise and draughts.
This makes Freshvent 100 particularly suited to
the tight construction of new homes - and
provides a stylish alternative to traditional
slot/airbrick type ventilators. In addition,
Freshvent 100 is ideal for older properties that
have been refurbished with double glazing and
loft insulation. They require ventilation to combat
the problems associated with condensation.
The unit should be of 100mm diameter and

should be connected to rigid duct through the
wall. The unit should be either pullcord
operated or thermostatically controlled and
should have no electrical connections. The unit
should also have an acoustic liner available to
reduce noise ingress.
