OCTOBER 07 - PASSIVENT GETS CARBON TRUST RECOGNITION

The cost of installing a system to control natural air movement to ventilate buildings has become potentially non-existent.....

Passivent’s Enhanced Digital Controller is the first kit of its kind to be recognised as approved equipment in the Government’s Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) scheme, which is managed by the Carbon Trust. It means that if a company installs a Passivent EDC to manage its ventilation system, it can potentially claim back 100% of the cost of the control system, instead of the traditional 25%*.

Monodraught gained certification for its range of controllers some three months after Passivent; the approval for its range of Windcatchers has been removed by the ECA.

Passivent’s control systems service includes selection advice, wiring diagrams, installation, commissioning, post installation inspection at six months and on-site demonstration and training, all carried out in accordance with CIBSE Guide C.

Passivent is the UK’s leading designer and supplier of natural ventilation systems for both domestic and commercial applications. The company is a founder member of the NatVent EC-EU funded project co-ordinated by the Building Research Establishment to develop practical natural ventilation solutions for the commercial sector. It has also contributed to the BISRIA guide BG2/2005 Wind Driven Natural Ventilation Systems, as well as being members of the DfES steering committee on ventilation guidance for schools, Building Bulletin 101.
