Poor Ventilation – What’s the Problem? 

Poor ventilation is a wide-scale problem. It is estimated that one in five UK households are poorly ventilated, leading to problems with streaming windows, mould growth and poor indoor air quality. Energy-efficiency measures such as cavity wall insulation and double-glazing make homes warmer by sealing in the heat. But as a result, the humid, stale air becomes trapped inside the home leading to condensation and the appearance of black mould.

Through everyday life (cooking, cleaning, breathing) the average family produces over 17 pints of moisture a day. This condensates on cold surfaces and leads to mould growth, which is not only damaging to the fabric of the building but creates unnecessary costs. 

What’s more poor indoor air quality has significant impact on the health.  

So What’s the Solution?

Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) has become the UK’s most popular method of low-energy, whole-home ventilation, and is now installed in over 1 million homes in the UK.

Nuaire’s PIV systems create a fresh and healthy indoor environment by gently introducing fresh, filtered air into the home at a continuous low rate ensuring that old, contaminated moisture-laden air is continuously diluted, displaced, and replaced with good quality air, eliminating condensation, dampness and forcing out indoor pollutants such as Radon gas and carbon monoxide. The result is improved air quality and a healthy living environment in which condensation cannot exist.

It can also be used to ventilate basements, cellars and other areas that would benefit from a continuous supply of fresh, filtered air.

Ideal for Apartments

Designed to ventilate homes without lofts, the unit is compact and can be consealedaway in a convenient location

Meets Regulations

Meets Part F & L of Building Regulations as a low-energy ventilation strategy

High Efficiency

Extremely low power consumption as low as 3 watts per hour

Choosing the Right Nuaire PIV

jQuery(function($) { $(“.piv-btn”).click(function() { // button highlighting $(“.piv-btn”).removeClass(“active”); $(this).addClass(“active”); // hide all $(“.piv-models”).slideUp(200); // show selected $($(this).data(“target”)).slideDown(200); });});

Flatmaster Range

For Properties without a Loft Space

The Flatmaster range is specifically designed for properties without a loft space.

The Flatmaster range are extremely low-energy, low cost, fit-and-forget PIVs.  They are easy to install, require minimal energy to run and minimum effort to maintain, making them an ideal solution for both new build and retro-fit applications.

MODELS 

Flatmaster
This basic model has the controls located on the unit.

Flatmaster 2000
This upgraded model includes an integral heater which tempers the air brought in from outside the property, after it has been filtered.  It is available in left hand discharge (Flatmaster 2000L) and right hand discharge models (Flatmaster 2000R).

Drimaster-ECO Range

Single or 2 Storey Homes with Loft Space 

The Drimaster-ECO range is designed for whole house ventilation for single or 2 storey homes with a loft space.

In addition to the low power consumption, extremely quiet operation and very low maintenance, these models include a daily run monitor as standard, and automatic heat recovery mode.

MODELS 

DRI-ECO-LC 
This basic model has the controls located on the unit in the loft.

DRI-ECO-HC
An alternative to the LC model with the advantage of a 7 segment display located in the ceiling diffuser allowing complete control without accessing the loft.

DRI-ECO-HEAT-HCS
An upgrade on the basic HC model that includes a 400W integral heater which tempers the air brought in from outside the property, after it has been filtered. 

DRI-ECO-LINK-HC
Another alternative upgrade on the HC model with the ability to link to a choice of wireless controls and interactive sensors: including the relative humidity (RH) and carbon dioxide sensors which automatically increase the fans speed when the target setting on the sensors are met.
This model’s non-disruptive installation makes it ideal for repairs and maintenance schemes making it a favourite with social house providers.  

DRI-ECO-HEAT-HC 
This model combines the upgrade benefits of the HEAT-HCS and LINK models to include both a 400W integral heater which tempers the air brought in from outside the property, after it has been filtered, and the ability to link to wireless controls and interactive sensors.

Nuaire is the UK’s leading manufacturer of energy-efficient ventilation systems, inventing the PIV system over 40 years ago. They have since built a reputation for exceptional quality, and were the first fan manufacturer in the UK to achieve the ISO9001 quality standard.
