Housing Minister Grant Shapps today hailed the progress of Government plans to build thousands of new affordable homes over the next four years.
Ministers revealed that their original aspiration to deliver 150,000 new homes by 2015 will not only be met, but exceeded. Appetite for the Affordable Homes Programme has surpassed expectations, with 146 providers sharing almost £1.8 billion to build 80,000 homes under the programme - putting the Government on track to deliver up to 170,000 new homes by 2015, and safeguarding some 80,000 jobs in construction and related trades.
In recognition of Vent-Axia’s outstanding product range and high standards of service, HM The Queen has renewed the company’s Royal Warrant. Vent-Axia has held a Royal Warrant since it was first granted by HM The Queen in 1985.
Vent-Axia’s ground-breaking Lo-Carbon™ Centra and Quadra fans have helped improve the indoor air quality for residents at a block of flats. The flats known as Spencerbeck are located in the Ormesby area of Middlesbrough. They were refurbished by Coast & Country as part of the Decent Homes programme.
As part of its on-going growth and business development, Vent-Axia, the leader in low carbon HEVAC systems, has appointed Peter Love as Technical Sales Specialist responsible for the industrial air handling and air movement side of the company’s business.
Vent-Axia, the brand leader in low carbon ventilation solutions, has introduced a new, step-by-step ventilation guide designed to help explain recent Building Regulations changes to private and social housing new-build specifiers.

Last year, Vent-Axia launched the innovative Centra extract fan, the first near silent dMEV (decentralised Mechanical Extract Ventilation) solution on the market. Now, the company has gone one better with an industry first, a new model which includes an integrated dynamic CO2 and humidity sensor, enabling Centra to automatically increase ventilation to meet demand. The unit’s energy saving Vent-Axia Lo-Carbon DC motors improve its efficiency and carbon reducing capabilities, providing up to 80% energy savings on the motor over traditional AC driven fans alone.
Vent-Axia, the brand leader in low carbon ventilation solutions, has introduced a brand new online Heating and Ventilation Design Service. The new tool will ensure contractors specify and install the right ventilation equipment or heating loads, for one-off residential properties, on each and every job.
Continuing its commitment to industry development, Vent-Axia, the leader in low carbon solutions for the HEVAC market, has recently become a BPEC (British Plumbing Employers Council (Training) Ltd) approved training centre.
The BPEC course offered by Vent-Axia at its Crawley Head Office is designed to meet the requirements outlined in the Domestic Ventilation Compliance Guide 2010 for the installation, inspection, testing, commissioning and provision of information for fixed domestic systems for both new and existing residential buildings.
