Lo-Carbon ventilation specialist Vent-Axia has been selected as preferred ventilation supplier for the “livinhome” housing project, a new approach to affordable housing developed by Geraghty Taylor Architects and Guildhouse-Rosepride. Already being piloted in Croydon, Salford and Aylesbury, the livinhome initiative aims to provide environmentally friendly, functional living spaces at affordable prices. <br> <br> Vent-Axia has been contracted to provide all livinhome houses with its Lo-Carbon Sentinel Kinetic mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) and Sentinel Kinetic Cooker Hood range of fans. Specifically designed for new build constructions with a high level of insulation, the Sentinel Kinetic is ideal for increasingly airtight homes and complies with Part F 2010 for wholehouse ventilation, System 4. The system is capable of 90% heat recovery which will be significant in helping reduce the DER (dwelling emission rate) of livinhome properties.<br> <br>
