Ventilation
manufacturer Nuaire has launched ‘Faith’, a new continuously-running extract
fan designed specifically for Social Housing applications.
Small
yet compact, the new FAITH fan has a facility to enable constant-flow operation
via a sensor to guarantee installed performance.
Unlike
some other continuous extract fans on the market, Faith can automatically
adjust its airflow to maintain the designed duty, enabling it to comply with
ADF 2010 (system 3) once installed.
Nuaire
Sales Director, Andrew Sellman, explained: “Within the repairs and maintenance
sector, the testing and commissioning of continuous extract fans has been far
less regulated than in the new build sector. Many continuous extract fans in
the market are perceived to meet building regulations but upon inspection, they
often don’t meet the required duty. As a result, the property is
under-ventilated leading to problems with mould, condensation and poor indoor
air quality.
“We
have designed the new Faith fan to overcome this widespread issue of
non-compliance, giving social housing providers the peace of mind that their
extract fan will meet Part F and L of the Building Regulations and protect both
the property and the tenant from damage caused by damp and poor air quality”,
continued Mr Sellman.
Even
with its competitive price point, Faith extract fan comes with a number of
sophisticated features, including an intelligent and energy-saving humidity
tracker which continually measures the humidity levels in the home and adjusts
the fan accordingly – ideal for addressing wet laundry, steamy bathrooms and
cooking vapours. An advanced run-on timer mode further supports this by
automatically operating to tenants’ lifestyles.
For
tenants, the new Faith extract fan is small and sleek and, just as importantly,
is quiet in operation. A night-time delay and intelligent run-on timer
ensures a quiet operation when tenants are asleep, whilst also helping to save
energy.
A
cost-effective, low maintenance ventilation solution, Faith can be wall,
ceiling and window mounted for maximum convenience and flexibility. As a
further benefit to social housing providers, the daily run monitor record
tenants’ operation, providing potentially useful documentation.
Faith
is available in 230V and SELV versions and is suitable for IPX4, for use in all
zones within a domestic property.
The
new Faith extract fan joins Nuaire’s full range of energy-efficient domestic,
commercial and renewable ventilation solutions. UK based with over 450
employees worldwide, Nuaire has been at the forefront of the ventilation
industry since 1966.
