Airex Floorvent: Reducing Underfloor Heat Loss Without High Costs Or Disruption
Reduce Heat Loss by 12%
Airex Floorvent is a way to reduce heat loss from suspended timber floors through smart control of ventilation. By reducing draughts and making the underfloor space warmer Airex improves the U-value of the floor.
Suspended timber floors are in many homes and are usually ventilated with air bricks which allow air to flow under the floor to stop condensation forming, which could otherwise cause mould growth or timber rot.
However, constantly open air bricks can contribute to up to 15% of the energy used to heat a home being wasted, as well as causing uncomfortable cold draughts.
Airex Floorvent controls this airflow to reduce heat loss while ensuring sufficient ventilation to prevent condensation.
Our low-cost, high-impact solution can contribute 2-4 SAP points to the EPC rating in most homes.
how does the airex floorvent work?
The Airex brick is a smart ventilation control that replaces existing air bricks at a sub-floor level (under the floorboards). The Airex bricks have in-built sensors to measure the environmental conditions (such as temperature and relative humidity) and use smart software algorithms to automatically regulate airflow.
Each brick closes to reduce heat loss and improve thermal comfort but opens to reduce humidity and stop mould and damp.
Robust trials have shown that Airex Floorvent can save an average of 12% of whole home heat loss and led to the system being included in SAP (EPC). For most homes Airex can contribute 2-4 EPC points.
Installation is quick, simple and hassle frEe
Installation of the vents is quick, simple and hassle free. It takes our certified installers around an hour per home to fit, no wiring or specialist electrician work is needed.
The Airex home hub is installed inside the home and is connected to the internet via WiFi. Once up and running, Airex does not require any ongoing occupant interaction to operate effectively – fit and forget.
