Commercial ventilation brings outdoor air into a building and removes stale air, using fans and ductwork to supply and extract air at the rates needed for the number of people and the activity.

The steps for a project in East Sussex
Assess
We work out how many people use each space and the fresh-air rate needed.
Design
Fan, duct and grille sizes are designed for air flow, noise and energy use.
Install
Ductwork and fans are installed and connected to controls. In East Sussex we agree timings around your opening hours.
Balance
Air flows are measured and balanced to the design.
What to think about in East Sussex
Heat recovery
Bringing in cold air in winter costs energy. Heat recovery units reclaim much of it.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Building Regulations
New or altered ventilation in England must meet Approved Document F. We design to it and hand over the commissioning records.
Leased premises
If your East Sussex premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Premises we work in around East Sussex

- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
