Residential Ventilation: how to aid your customer and your bank balance

For years ventilation in our homes has been mostly an after thought or confined to kitchens and bathrooms where it has been largely reactive to the activities taking place in those rooms.  But now, with our increased understanding of the importance of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), ventilation has become an industry in itself; one that is still undervalued and frequently misunderstood, but one that has excellent potential sales opportunities for merchants who take the time to look for them.

Why is the quality of our indoor air important?

Well firstly, consider this: we spend up 90% of our time indoors, whether in our homes, at work or during our leisure time.  Yet indoor air pollution can be up to five times higher than external air pollution as a result of everyday activities such as cooking and cleaning, as well as the materials our homes and furniture are made from.  Condensation and mould are also an issue in our climate.

Poor IAQ isn’t just uncomfortable (we’ve all been homes that feel unpleasantly ‘stuffy’), but is potentially harmful.  It can increase the risk of respiratory and cardiovascular illness, cognitive impairment and even certain cancers.

Regulations driving change

With greater awareness of IAQ, which is achieving national news coverage, ventilation has emerged from the shadows and the requirements around it have become more stringent, especially so in new builds. 

Revised Building Regulations Part F Ventilation came into effect in 2022 and increased minimum ventilation rates across all sizes of properties.  Building Regulations also covers overheating in Part O.

When it comes to landlords, social housing providers must abide by the Social Housing (Regulation) Act which, from October 2025, will require landlords by law to fix damp and mould issues to strict deadlines as part of Awaab’s Law.  That same law is now being introduced in to the Renters’ Rights Bill which is currently going through parliament and is aimed at landlords in the private sector.  The latter may well be passed before the summer is out. Regulations really do drive change, so it’s important to be aware of them and understand the opportunities they bring for added sales of ventilation equipment

Top 4 upsell opportunities

Which brings me on to ventilation products that can provide you – and your customer in many cases – with added income:

  1. Intermittent Extract Fans: As mentioned, changes to Building Regulations requires higher ventilation rates, regardless of the size of the property, and has removed natural ventilation (e.g. background vents) as an option in all but the least airtight homes (those with a design air permeability of ≥5).  This will inevitably mean more powerful extract fans will be required.  Domus Ventilation’s latest high performance axial fans have been designed to ensure compliance with Building Regulations, with the DKF150 for example providing extract volume rates up to 48.8 l/s (which easily meets the new minimum rate for a 5 bed property which changed from 29 l/s to 43 l/s).  Even existing properties, that don’t fall under the auspices Building Regulations, can benefit from more powerful fans in removing damp, stale air. As well as encouraging customers to buy more powerful fans, control options provide a further opportunity to add value.  Whilst the lowest cost option – the basic timer and pull cord model – is one of the most popular options, you might be surprised to hear that our research has shown the other most popular control option to be humidistat or combined humidistat & timer that react to a significant change in humidity.  These versions are at the top end of the market financially, but hugely popular, so be sure to offer this to customers as an alternative.  PIR based controls that activate the fan on the detection of movement are also available, but are less popular.
  2. Ducting: a ventilation system, even if it’s just a simple extract fan in a bathroom, is only as good as its ducting.  If a customer is looking to buy flexible ducting, steer them away and towards rigid ducting.  Yes, it is an upsell for you, but it really will make a positive difference to their ventilation system as flexible duct work causes a lot more air resistance and can be easily damaged or crushed, impeding the work of the fan and making it noisy. 
  3. Ducting accessories: Good quality ducting also comes with accessories and useful products designed to assist installers with site related constraints, such as the Domus Greenline Bend which has been engineered to reduce duct bend resistance by up to 60%.  These all represent great opportunities to add value to an order, whilst also benefiting your customer.  Top extras include ducting insulation (recommend specific duct insulation rather than standard building insulation materials) and firestopping products, both of which are required by Building Regulations.  Also required by Building Regulations are non-combustible air bricks, such as our award winning Solis Air Brick, where ductwork penetrates through the external cavity when above 18m in England and 11m in Scotland.  Lastly, a popular add on is sound attenuators to absorb noise travelling through ductwork.
  4. Pollution filters: when it comes to whole house Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR) systems, pre-filters are available that fit in to the ducting supply leg to filter potentially dangerous pollutants from entering the home.  If you are in an urban area, or your customer is working on a property in an urban area, or by a busy road, recommend they consider adding these to the scheme.  Domus Ventilation’s NOX-FILT, for example, prevents up to 99.5% of NO² pollution.

Ventilation Ducting: overlooked & undervalued

Ducting can make or break a ventilation system, whether it’s a sophisticated Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system in a large house or a simple bathroom fan in an apartment. That’s because the ducting conveys the all-important fresh air to (and from, in the case of MVHR) the ventilation unit and into the property. If the air flow is impeded in the duct run, insufficient air reaches the fan in a timely way, and the property does not receive adequate ventilation. Maintaining air flow at a set level is especially important in whole house ventilation systems as otherwise the systems will not perform to their best ability.

Why does ventilation matter?

Good ventilation is at the heart of indoor air quality (IAQ). As more resources are being invested into researching IAQ (although this is still well behind research into external pollutants), an ever clearer picture is forming of the impact IAQ can have on both our physical and mental health.

Poor IAQ can lead to an increased risk of respiratory and cardiovascular illness, cognitive impairment and even certain cancers. One of the big problems with IAQ is that sources and concentrations of pollutants can vary greatly between as well as within buildings. Indoor pollutant sources include building materials, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) heating appliances, cooking, consumer products, occupant activities and damp. Of course, the indoors is also affected by the outdoors, with external air pollutants entering our homes; this is likely to be an even greater issue in urban areas in warmer months when windows are wide open.

Whilst removing or reducing pollutant sources is fundamentally important (such as through the implementation of Clean Air Zones and switching to greener cleaning products), improving ventilation within our homes is essential to IAQ. It brings air into the property, dispersing existing air out and diluting any pollutants in the process. Where whole house ventilation systems are installed, filters can be applied to the intake to remove external pollutants.

Choose ducting wisely

I’d like to think that most people in this line of work invest time into researching whole house ventilation systems and, hopefully, into their choice of extract fans. But has similar time and effort been spent into researching ducting? Quite possibly not. As I have stated above, ducting is at the heart of a successful ventilation system, so it is important to take the time to ensure you choose duct systems wisely.

There is no set standard for ducting, but poor quality ducting is relatively easy to spot. If the ducting bows or looks like it’s concave, or the wall thickness appears uneven, avoid it as it will not provide a tight fit when connected, leading to air and even condensation leakage. Good quality ducting will have exacting tolerances and connects together for minimal air and moisture loss and maximum system efficiency. It will also come with ample accessories and useful products designed to assist you with site related constraints.

Make sure the ducting has been designed to work in harmony as part of a system and has been third party tested for end-to-end system performance.

For MVHR and MEV system, use quality rigid ducting in larger sizes. But whatever you do, and whatever size the ventilation system, avoid using flexible duct work in place of rigid ducting at all times, as it causes a lot more air resistance and can be crushed easily.

Drawing duct schemes require skill

Many people misjudge the level of skill required to produce ducting drawings. The duct runs, the number of bends and the angle of those bends, plus the temperature of the areas the ducting runs through, all affect the air flow. It’s important to keep ductwork runs as short and straight as possible, and minimise the number of bends. This can best be achieved if you produce the drawing before the ventilation unit is specified and before services, such as gas and water pipes, go in. Make full reference to dwelling and room ventilation rates within the drawing.

By far the easiest option though is to outsource the drawing. Most manufacturers, Domus Ventilation included, will provide a system drawing free of charge, along with duct take-offs and estimations.

Lastly, be prepared! Site related constraints may change, and the duct drawing may need to alter. If you have to make changes, re calculate the air flow rates and, where necessary, change product accordingly. For example, if you must include a bend where one didn’t exist before, consider using something like a Domus Greenline Bend which has been cleverly engineered to reduce duct bend resistance by up to 60%.

Stick to the plan when it comes to installation

Once your duct drawing is finalised and the ducting is ready to be installed, be sure to stick to it on site. It’s not uncommon for installers to try save time and money by making the duct runs simpler or swapping rigid ducting for flexible ducting at final connections or around obstructions. All that hard work and carefully thought out planning compromised at the last post!

When it comes to installation of extract fans, check if wall and in-room installation kits are available as these will provide all the necessary parts to fit the fan – including ducting and grilles – for a swift, straightforward installation.

Be sure to fit ducting insulation and firestopping products, as laid out in Building Regulations. Insulation is required where the ducting passes through unheated areas and voids, such as loft spaces. Firestopping products are necessary whenever a hole is made in a compartment wall for plastic ventilation ducting to pass through. In addition, non-combustible air bricks, such as Domus Ventilation’s Solis Air Brick, must be used where ductwork penetrates through the external cavity when above 18m in England and 11m in Scotland.

Take care of your ducting and it will take care of you

Getting the ducting right really is one of the most important aspects of a residential ventilation system, yet it’s frequently the most overlooked and undervalued. By taking the time to consider your ducting products, where they go and how they are installed, you are more than half way to ensuring a good ventilation system that is Building Regulations compliant.

The low carbon solution

Domus Ventilation ducting to be manufactured with recycled plastic

UK ventilation manufacturer Domus Ventilation is proud to announce that its industry leading ventilation ducting will now be manufactured primarily from recycled plastic.

The company already uses 100% recycalate on its rectangular ducting and over 95% of its fittings use 100% High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS) which comes from post-consumer recycled plastic. As part of the Genuit group, which has committed to have 62% of its ducting source material come from recycled plastics by 2025 where at all feasible, Domus Ventilation has now progressed to manufacturing its entire ducting range primarily from recycled plastic. This will make Domus Ventilation ducting one of the lowest carbon choices on the market, without any detrimental impact on the quality of the product that Domus ducting is renowned for.

Commenting on this latest development, Domus Ventilation Product Manager, Paul Williams, said: “the built environment accounts for approximately 30% of annual carbon emissions in the UK. Whilst the lion’s share is generated in the day to day operation of buildings, carbon emissions embodied into buildings during manufacturing and construction are significant. As a manufacturer in the building sector, we fully accept our responsibilities in regards to this. Using plastic that is destined for landfill, recycling it, and using it in our ducting is just one way in which we are making our products – and our manufacturing – more sustainable.

“One aspect I would like to reassure customers on is the quality of our ducting, which will not be affected by this. Whilst colour variation is to be expected due to the nature of the recycalate, the form, fit, function and quality remains.”

Domus Ventilation ducting is available as flat channel, round pipe, and Radial semi-rigid duct system and comes with a range of problem-solving accessories. It has been designed to work in harmony as part of a ventilation system and has been third party tested for end-to-end system performance.

As part of the Genuit group of companies, Domus Ventilation adheres to Genuit’s detailed Sustainability Framework. Its aim is to lead the industry in recycling and waste by increasing recyclability to its maximum threshold and to become a zero-to-waste operation.

6 reasons you should be using MVHR systems

Valued at $106.69 million in 2022, the Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR) UK market is predicted to reach $235.34 million by 2030, with an annual growth rate of 10.73% from 2024 to 20301. This extraordinary growth is being driven by increased awareness about the benefits of MVHR, as well as the adoption of these systems to comply with the latest uplift to Building Regulations.

MVHR systems take a whole house approach to ventilation, combing supply and extract ventilation in one system. They extract the stale air from wet rooms (kitchens, bathrooms, utility spaces) within a property via ducting, transferring the heat from that air to the fresh air being drawn into the building via a heat exchanger. Domus Ventilation’s HRXE MVHR range recovers heat with up to 95% efficiency, making it highly effective. The filtered, pre-warmed air is then distributed around the home.

MVHR systems are a modern response to modern building practices. With properties becoming more air tight and energy efficient, it’s vital that good ventilation is designed into properties at the outset. Opening a window or two isn’t going to deliver indoor air that is healthy to breath and comfortable to live in.

If you are not one of the many people driving the growth of MVHR systems, and are yet to be sold on these ventilation systems, then consider these key benefits:

  • Health
    In the UK, we’re not an outdoors type of nation. In fact, we spend 80-90% of our time indoors. The air that we breath indoors is therefore just as – if not more – important than the air we breathe outdoors, yet indoor air pollution can be up to five times higher than external air pollution. Sources of indoor air pollution are widespread and vary dramatically from house to house, but include cooking, cleaning products, furniture and outdoor emissions entering our homes. Then, of course, you have condensation and, in worst case scenarios, mould to contend with in the winter months.
    Poor indoor air quality has been linked to an increased risk of respiratory and cardiovascular illness, cognitive impairment and certain cancers. England’s Chief Medical Officers Annual Report 2022 Air Pollution stated: “A better understanding of how we can prevent and reduce indoor air pollution should now be a priority”. It also noted “The role of ventilation is central to reducing unavoidable indoor air pollution.” MVHR systems are the most effective ventilation method for our homes as they both extract stale air and supply filtered ‘fresh’ air to key rooms, such as bedrooms.
  • Comfort
    Breathing in poor quality air is not only unhealthy, it’s unpleasant. As stale air is usually the result of a buildup of chemicals (especially VOCs) and humidity, our homes feel ‘stuffy’ and can have an unpleasant smell. Ironically, using an air freshener to combat this simply adds to the chemical concoction. MVHR systems are continuously on, removing that stale, humid air and its undesirable odours. Furthermore, during colder months they take the chill out of the supply air by passing it through a heat exchanger where the outgoing air’s energy is extracted and transferred. In the summer months, a 100% thermal bypass automatically activates when the air temperature reaches a pre-set level, allowing in cooler, fresh, filtered air without warming it through the heat exchanger.
  • Energy efficiency
    By reusing the outgoing air’s heat to temper the incoming air, MVHR systems help reduce the home’s heating load. The Centre for Sustainable Energy estimates heating costs can be reduced by around 25% 2. Whilst MVHR running costs are dependent on the property size, building fabric, occupant lifestyle etc., they are inexpensive to run. To ensure maximum energy efficiency is gained from an MVHR system though, it’s important to correctly size the unit, use good quality ducting designed to work as part of that system (Domus Ventilation ducting has been third party tested for end-to-end system performance), and correctly installed and commissioned.
  • Structural integrity
    Whilst VOCs are unlikely to impact a building’s structure, persistent damp and mould can. If not dealt with, trapped condensation can lead to timber decay and can have a detrimental effect on insulation. More often though, it leads to mould growth on surfaces of walls and furniture. Removing large areas of mould is not easy and can be costly, especially when redecorating is required and furniture has to be replaced. What’s more, as the source of the mould hasn’t been addressed, it’s very likely it will return. MVHR systems not only remove pollutants from homes, but also the humidity, reducing levels of condensation and preventing mould from forming.
  • Value-add
    Thanks to campaign groups, scientists and health professionals raising awareness, along with some high profile tragic cases where two children have died – one from air pollution and the other from mould in his home – the general public are more aware than ever before of the importance of good air quality. Stories of extreme overheating in properties located in urban heat islands are also making national news. For housebuilders, an MVHR system can therefore be an attractive proposition to home buyers, providing them with good indoor air quality, added comfort and energy efficiency.

These six points all provide a powerful argument for including MVHR systems into your new residential developments. So, if you haven’t really considered MVHR systems previously, isn’t it time to think again?
