Passivent

Re: Passivent

I’m sure I came across that at some point Mark but, can’t recall why.

TBH remote motor extractors are superb in some circumstances, way better than local systems for some things, think hotels, linked toilets and so on. It actually makes a heap of sense to do it that way, in the right circumstances. For domestic multi dwellings, take a central vent stack up through an old listed building, get one vent to outside, expel everything through that. Saves money, hassle and planning issues.

Hence my experience of such systems, they used a number on listed buildings being renovated in Glasgow to cut down on cost and hassle asides which, they are actually better in such installations.

In essence though think of them like this…

Some sort of control and, it can be as dumb as it switches on with a timer from a light switch to, complete electronic control. And with some, the timer is a complication not employed.

A motor that draws air from the room to outside air installed somewhere in the ducting. depending on the spec, a single motor can serve multiple rooms or dwellings.

And, that’s about it really.

Not exactly technically challenging.

As is often the case, the tough bit is working out what’s where and what controls it.
