Energy Awards shortlist Vent-Axia has made the final shortlist in the Energy Awards 2013, which recognise and reward companies leading the way in reducing carbon emissions. Vent-Axia’s Lo-Carbon Kinetic Plus E mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) system has been selected for the shortlist in the Energy Efficient Product of the Year category.<br><br>Launched in July 2012, the Kinetic Plus E is the best performing MVHR system, listed on<br>SAP Appendix Q, Vent-Axia claims. It has a specific fan power (SFP) as low as 0.4W/l/s, combined with 94% heat recovery, and provides reductions in Dwelling Emission Rates (DER) – a key consideration as the industry moves towards zero carbon homes.<br><br>Consuming as little as 20W, the Kinetic Plus E costs around £20 a year to run, Vent-Axia claims. It adds that the system offers 94% thermal efficiency and potentially recovers ten or 20 times more energy than it costs to operate.<br><br>This year’s Energy Awards will be held on Wednesday December 4 at the Grosvenor Ball Room, Park Lane. <br><br><a href="http://www.vent-axia.com">www.vent-axia.com</a>
