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 Islington
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. We keep work areas in Islington screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Balance
Air flows are measured and balanced to the design.
What to think about in Islington
Building Regulations
New or altered ventilation in England must meet Approved Document F. We design to it and hand over the commissioning records.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Heat recovery
Bringing in cold air in winter costs energy. Heat recovery units reclaim much of it.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Islington often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
