Leading ventilation manufacturer Vent-Axia is once again supporting World Ventilation Day, #WorldVentil8Day, a day dedicated to recognising and promoting the importance of ventilation and indoor air quality (IAQ). Now in its fourth year, World Ventil8 Day will be held on Saturday, 8th November, with the theme of ‘Collaborate to Ventilate’. The day aims to highlight ventilation’s crucial role in healthy buildings and a healthy life, with a particular focus on how to help people improve ventilation in their buildings, whether it be a home, a school, a workplace or a social space.
World Ventilation Day was created by researchers and professional bodies who are passionate about the importance of ventilation and its vital contribution to creating a healthy and comfortable indoor environment. This year's event is well timed since it comes just after the implementation of Awaab's Law, with social housing landlords keen to find solutions to tackle condensation and mould and protect residents from the harmful effects of damp and mould. Tackling damp and mould through effective ventilation is vital to create healthier, compliant homes and reduce future costs.
This year’s theme is ‘Collaborate to Ventilate’, which was central to Vent-Axia’s development of its new Revive 7 Switchee-Enabled fan, which is a collaboration between Vent-Axia and Switchee, a leading smart technology provider for the social housing sector. As the first smart technology solution that not only identifies condensation and mould but also actively helps to prevent them, the Revive 7 Switchee Enabled allows landlords to detect damp, mould or poor air quality early, protecting residents and the fabric of the building. With Vent-Axia being the first UK ventilation company to provide remotely accessible fan data to housing providers, this proacitve approach saves landlords money by preventing the escalating costs associated with damp, mould and repairs.
“We are delighted to support World Ventilation Day again and continue to raise awareness of the vital role ventilation plays in our lives. This year it is particularly poignant that it follows shortly after the implementation of Awaab's Law, with social housing landlords keen to find cost-effective ways of combatting damp and mould in their properties” said Ashley Smith, Product Manager at Vent-Axia. “This year's theme is ‘Collaborate to Ventilate’, and that is exactly what we have done through our partnership with Switchee to provide landlords with effective, energy-efficient ventilation combined with real-time data so that landlords can manage their housing stocks effectively ensuring good indoor air quality for tenants and saving money that would be spent on costly damp and mould repairs.”
Vent-Axia’s new Lo-Carbon Revive 7 Switchee Enabled has been designed specifically for social housing, integrating the Lo-Carbon Revive 7 fan with Switchee’s in-home connectivity device. This collaboration delivers energy-efficient ventilation, real-time indoor environmental insights, tamper-proof performance, and proactive mould prevention.
The market-leading smart-enabled Lo-Carbon Revive 7 is an energy-efficient, filter-less unitary fan offering high performance and near-silent operation. Designed to tackle condensation and mould, the Revive 7 already incorporates a sophisticated in-built data monitoring system; however, by integrating Switchee’s real-time data insights, landlords can now proactively manage properties and support residents in a completely new way. The Revive 7 Switchee-Enabled solution offers continuous, real-time monitoring of IAQ, while improving compliance, protecting housing stock, and enhancing tenant wellbeing.
Providing instant insights into humidity and fan usage, the Revive 7 Switchee Enabled gives early detection of damp, mould, or poor IAQ. This proactive approach delivers humidity trends across property portfolios, helping social housing providers target resources, identify at-risk homes, avoid unnecessary call-outs, and offer more tailored resident support. With direct messaging capabilities and localised temperature tracking, it also enables communication with tenants, allowing landlords to provide environmental recommendations, such as prompts to ventilate the property, without needing property access. This proactive approach saves money by preventing the escalating costs associated with damp, mould and repairs.
The Revive 7 offers high efficiency, near-silent operation, slim profile, and great performance, exceeding the updated Part F of the Building Regulations. Its slimmer profile means the Revive 7 is even easier to install in a wider range of locations, and is especially useful for window applications since it avoids interference with window blinds, improving resident satisfaction.
Offering flexible positioning, the new updated Revive 7 comes with the same IPX4 rating for wall and ceiling mounting. It is also available as a SELV model, boasting a new transformer which is more compact and around half the size and weight of previous units, making siting easier. A truly universal fan, the intelligent Lo-Carbon Revive 7 also includes an adjustable trickle speed option, an interchangeable intermittent mode and a smoother humidity boost transition than the older version.
Featuring Smart Sense™ intelligent technology, Revive 7 is quick to install with a clear alphanumeric LED display and a simple three-button menu for commissioning and data gathering. The Revive is the only fan on the market with unique lock settings to prevent tampering. Revive 7’s Smart Sense™ also includes a datalogger, which tracks fan usage to ensure it is used as intended and helps landlords build a profile of resident activity and aids them in investigating any humidity problems. Plus, the Revive 7 is low maintenance since its market-leading Multi-Vortex™ technology does not require a filter, while the highly sculpted interior actively repels dust, avoiding clogging, thus further helping to avoid callbacks and applying a proactive approach. The Revive 7 also boasts reliability backed by up to seven years’ warranty.
