Our edge

AirFlow Pro’s content is meticulously aligned with UK Building Regulations—Part F (Ventilation), Part L (Conservation of Fuel and Power), and the latest Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) transpositions. We decode legal requirements into actionable design parameters: minimum fresh-air rates per person, extract-air strategies for kitchens and washrooms, and leakage limitations for ductwork. Our downloadable compliance checklists and template U-value and airflow reports ensure that projects pass Building Control inspections and SAP/ SBEM energy-rating assessments without delays.

Our interactive DuctSizer and VentSim modules let you model complex HVAC networks in minutes. Input room dimensions, occupancy profiles, and heat-gain schedules, then visualise airflow patterns, pressure losses, and noise levels. The tools recommend fan curves, duct diameters, and diffuser types that optimise energy use while maintaining thermal comfort (95% satisfied range per CIBSE Guide A). Export CAD-compatible layouts and detailed equipment schedules for seamless hand-off to installers and BIM models.

As energy costs rise, ERV and HRV systems are critical for sustainable buildings. AirFlow Pro provides performance comparisons—sensible and latent heat-exchange efficiencies, bypass strategies, frost protection controls—for leading UK and European manufacturers. Our design guides cover plate-type vs. rotary heat exchangers, cross-contamination risks, and maintenance access requirements. Real-world payback calculators incorporate UK electricity and gas tariffs, CNG rebates, and carbon-price projections to quantify ROI and carbon-reduction benefits.

Healthy indoor air requires more than basic ventilation. We offer protocols for multi-parameter IAQ assessments—PM₂.₅/PM₁₀, CO₂, VOCs, humidity—and recommend sensor placements to capture representative data. Our remediation guides include HVAC filtration upgrades (MERV 13+ filters, activated carbon), UV-GI installation in ductwork, and portable air-cleaner deployment strategies. Each solution is backed by health-impact studies (e.g., reduced sick-building syndrome, improved cognitive function) and tied to UK HSE workplace-air guidelines.

AirFlow Pro’s commissioning workflows mirror real-world site conditions: from pre-installation inspections of plantrooms, pipework, and duct supports, through spigot-seal integrity tests and balancing-valve calibration, to final smoke-test visualisations and sound-level measurements. Our commissioning certificates and punch-list templates are accepted by principal contractors and Building Control bodies nationwide. We also provide video tutorials on best practices—duct-sealing techniques, refrigerant charging, and VAV-box calibration—to upskill on-site teams and reduce rework.

Long-term performance depends on proactive upkeep. Our PPM schedules define filter-change intervals (per EN 16798), coil-cleaning methods, fan-bearing lubrication, and sensor recalibration. Subscribers gain access to our UK-wide network of BESA-certified service contractors, 24/7 remote support for fault diagnosis, and a spare-parts portal with next-day delivery options. Quarterly IAQ and energy-use reports track KPI trends, highlight anomalies, and recommend tune-ups—ensuring systems operate at peak efficiency and extend asset lifespans.
