If you are building your own home then you almost certainly want the most cost-effective, future-proofed and damp-proofed home possible. One way to achieve this is by designing your build around an EnviroVent whole house heat recovery system that will enable you to go for a more insulated house, with fewer vents. This will be much more efficient in the long run.

To mark ‘Breathe Easy Week’ (15-21st June) EnviroVent, one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of ventilation systems, is urging homeowners to consider their home’s indoor air quality and how it could be affecting their health.

Research by the Royal College of General Practitioners revealed a 114 per cent increase in people visiting their GP with hay fever symptoms in 2014, as more people took action against the seasonal condition. It is therefore hardly surprising that EnviroVent has seen a rise in sales of its ventilation systems that may help to relieve the symptoms of hay fever and other allergies.

For a home to be described as sustainable it must meet certain criteria, and these are laid out in the Code for Sustainable Homes. It's a set of guidelines forming an environmental assessment method that can be used to rate and certify how newly built homes perform in terms of their energy consumption and retention. Some of the elements of this standard are now also codified in Building Regulations, which apply to all homes built in England.

EnviroVent is celebrating being highly commended at the National Business Awards in the category Best Small to Medium-Sized Business of the Year.

Earlier this month, we caught up with Rebecca McLean, EnviroVent's Marketing Director who is leading the way when it comes to making people aware of the importance of indoor air quality and shared her top tips for improving the air quality in your home.

EnviroVent is thrilled to have won Best Green Product for the acclaimed Filterless Infinity Fan at the Yorkshire Post Environment Awards.

Positive input ventilation, or Positive Pressure Ventilation as it is sometimes known, is quite simply the best way to ventilate your property. Whether your home suffers from condensation, black mould, or general dampness, Positive Input Ventilation, or PIV for short, could be the solution you’re looking for.

The number of people in the UK suffering from hay fever is expected to double over the next 2 decades according to experts at the National Pollen Research Unit. This is due to an increase in the level of traffic pollution in our towns and cities. There are currently around 15 million hay fever sufferers across the UK. Hay fever is an allergy to pollen which is produced by plants, trees and flowers, and the most common pollen allergy is to grass.
