Building today’s airtight homes helps reduce energy bills and cut carbon emissions, but it also makes maintaining good indoor air quality essential. Without an effective ventilation system, pollutants and excess moisture can quickly accumulate, causing discomfort, property damage and potential health risks to occupants.
Background ventilators are a proven method of providing effective natural ventilation. Installed through walls or as window trickle vents, they deliver a steady supply of fresh air to habitable rooms, helping to control indoor pollutants and excess moisture while supporting occupant health and comfort.
To simplify compliance and specification of this natural ventilation system, we have created a new mini guide: Background Ventilation Made Simple.
This short, practical resource is designed with specifiers (architects, designers and consultants) and installers (house builders, contractors and developers) in mind. Inside, you will find:
-
A clear explanation of why background ventilation is essential for health and wellbeing.
-
Guidance on Approved Document F requirements for natural ventilation.
-
Quick checklists for compliant installation.
- Tips on choosing the right ventilator.
-
A product spotlight on one of our high-performance Super Acoustic ventilators.
Whether you are specifying/buying for new homes or retrofitting existing properties, this guide will help you design and install effective, compliant ventilation.
