Vent-Axia says it is delighted to be shortlisted in the Manufacturer of the Year Awards 2012. The company's Tempra single room heat recovery unit has beaten tough competition to be selected as a finalist in the Innovation &amp; Design category. This announcement marks the fourth industry award the British manufacturer has been shortlisted for this month with Vent- Axia already a finalist in the Energy Awards, the Electrical Industry Awards and the HVR Awards.<br> <br> Part of the company's Lo-Carbon initiative, Vent-Axia's Tempra is the UK's first single room heat recovery unit which can be simply retrofitted through a 100mm diameter hole in the wall, Vent Axia explains. This allows traditional inefficient extract fans to be easily replaced with this discreet, low energy, continuously running alternative that also offers affordable heat recovery, the company claims. <br> <br> The winners of the Innovation &amp; Design category will be announced at The Manufacturer of The Year Awards ceremony and gala dinner. This year's event will be held on Wednesday November 21 at Grange Tower Bridge hotel, London.<br> <br> www.vent-axia.com or enter E0526 on the reader enquiry card
