Compliance with Building Codes

The  2006  Edition  of  the  U.K  Building  Regulations
Approved  Document  F1:  Means  of  Ventilation
(applicable  in  England  and  Wales)  details  4  clearly
defined systems of ventilation to dwellings. System 3 -
Continuous  mechanical  extract  (MEV)  is  complied  with
by the INVAVENT MAXI ultra-high efficiency whole house
extract ventilation system.
System  3-  Continuous  mechanical  extract  requires  a
"minimum high rate" in each wet room to be achieved
(Kitchens 13 l/s and both utilities and bathrooms 8 l/s -
sanitary only 6 l/s).
The  "minimum  low  rate"  is  calculated  by  taking  the
number of bedrooms in the dwelling and applying the l/s
value from Table 1.1b (pag.7). In addition the rate should
be no less than 0.3 l/s per m_ of internal floor area (all
storey’s)  plus  for  each  additional  occupant  over  and
above the anticipated two for the first bedroom and one
for each of the others a further 4 l/s must be added to the
extract  rate.  The  system  provides  quiet,  uninterrupted
extract  ventilation  from  the  dwelling  via  all  the  wet
rooms,  creating  a  permanent  air  path  through  the
property  from  the  “dry”  habitable  rooms  to  the  “wet”
rooms.  

The  current  Building  (Scotland)  Regulations  refers  to
continuously operating mechanical extract ventilation in
accordance  with  the  guidance  in  BRE  (Building
Research Establishment) Digest 398, a paper based on
the  former  government  department’s  (and  now  private
company) own tests and recommendations , specifically
0.5 air changes per hour throughout the property.
The  INVAVENT  MAXI  complies  fully  with  the
recommendations contained within this document.
In  Ireland,  Technical  Guidance  Document  (TGD)  2008
Part F: Ventilation is applicable and the INVAVENT MAXI
complies  fully  with  the  recommendations  contained
within this document.

With  the  Governments  actively  encouraging  energy
saving and a target for all new homes to be ‘carbon zero’
by 2016, the INVAVENT MAXI has been designed ‘future
proof’.
The  ‘Code  for  Sustainable  Homes’  which  came  into
force in March 2007, details six levels of CO2 emission

requirements.
To achieve the three highest levels of reduction of carbon
emissions,  the  air  leakage  of  the  dwelling  must  be
improved  so  significantly  that  continuous  ventilation
becomes  the  only  appropriate  method.  In  addition,  it
must be demonstrated that the ventilation system itself
must be energy efficient. The INVAVENT MAXI has been
independently  tested  by  the  Building  Research
Establishment  (BRE)  to  the  appropriate  SAP  (1)
Appendix Q test methodology and is therefore Appendix
Q eligible.
(1)  The  Governments  Standard  Assessment  Procedure

(SAP) is a method assessing the energy performance of
dwellings and SAP Appendix Q provides an allowance
for  the  benefits  of  energy-saving  appliances;  products
may  be  independently  assessed  and  the  results
uploaded to the SAP website.

Description

Comfort  and  energy  efficiency  are  becoming
increasingly important factors in buildings. With this in
mind,  appliances  are  being  developed  to  control  the
micro-climate  within  homes  and  to  provide  a  high
degree of comfort along with energy efficiency. These
appliances  silently  and  continuously  ventilate  homes
removing  humidity  from  service  areas  (bathrooms,
kitchens, etc.) and creating a flow of “dry” air in “lived-
in” areas (dining areas, studies, bedrooms, etc.). The
INVAVENT  MAXI  centralised  ventilation  systems  has
been  specifically  designed  for  continuous  ventilation
in  domestic  applications  and  may  also  be  used  in
some commercial applications.
The  INVAVENT  MAXI  is  fitted  with  brushless  three-
phase  motors  with  electronically  controlled  three-
speed operation.
The  INVAVENT  MAXI  is  a  modular  appliance  that
means  maintaining  and  replacing  parts  is  both  quick
and easy.
The appliance can be wall or ceiling mounted. The unit
has 5 vents: the one positioned at the top right (fig 1)
is  for  expelling  stale  air;  the  other  4  (fig.  2)  extract
humidity and stale air.
