Nuaire - Experts & Thought Leaders

Indoor air quality and ventilation manufacturing - specialist Nuaire has released a new CIBSE-approved CPD: An Introduction to Passivhaus. CIBSE-approved CPD The CPD, which is aimed at the commercial market, focuses on the principles that define a Passivhaus and its ventilation criteria; the benefits of Passivhaus, especially about net zero; along with a comprehensive understanding of the Passivhaus certification process.  The CPD can be delivered in-person or online by Nuaire ventilation experts who have completed certified Passivhaus Tradesperson Training. Passivhaus Passivhaus adopts a whole-building approach with clear, measured targets, focused on high-quality construction With buildings contributing significantly to harmful carbon emissions, Passivhaus provides proven solutions to deliver net-zero-ready buildings that also provide a high level of occupant health and well-being. Passivhaus adopts a whole-building approach with clear, measured targets, focused on high-quality construction, certified through an exacting quality assurance process. BPS air handling units and XBOXER XBC+ For a building to achieve the Passivhaus Standard in the UK, a mechanical ventilation system with highly efficient heat recovery is typically required. Nuaire provides Passivhaus-certified Boxer Packages Solutions (BPS) air handling units and XBOXER XBC+ Passivhaus packaged heat recovery units.  These products have been rigorously independently tested under realistic conditions to ensure they meet the strict Passivhaus efficiency, thermal comfort, and indoor air quality criteria.

Indoor air quality and ventilation manufacturing specialist Nuaire officially launched its new NICEIC-approved training facility at Tŷ Gwyrddfai in Penygroes, north Wales on 10th October with a morning of presentations and activities attended by over 50 invited guests. Tŷ Gwyrddfai is the first decarbonization hub of its kind and has been created to ensure that north Wales will be at the forefront of the decarbonization agenda. The facility is a collaborative project between Adra, north Wales’ largest social housing provider; Bangor University; and Busnes@LlandrilloMenai’s Center for Infrastructure, Skills, and Technology (CIST) that manages the specialist on-site training pods at Tŷ Gwyrddfai. MRXBOX MVHR system In one of these new pods, Nuaire has installed a fully working MRXBOX Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system ducted to valves, to provide customers with the opportunity for hands-on domestic ventilation system training.  Other Nuaire products installed within the Tŷ Gwyrddfai pod include a Drimaster-Eco Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) system for curing and preventing condensation dampness, and a Cyfan extract fan which has been specially designed for the social housing market. NICEIC taster sessions NICEIC taster sessions on pressure testing and airflow were provided by Dale Mason At the launch event for the Nuaire training facility at Tŷ Gwyrddfai, NICEIC taster sessions on pressure testing and airflow were provided by Dale Mason, Nuaire Residential Aftercare Team Pioneer & NICEIC Domestic Ventilation Trainer/Assessor, who also presented a short speech on the importance of education and indoor air quality. Other activities on the day included a live Cyfan installation, focussing on commissioning; a tour of Tŷ Gwyrddfai; and a fact-finding presentation on damp and mould. Air quality and controlling moisture levels Opening the event was Iwan Trefor Jones, Adra Chief Executive, who introduced Adra and Tŷ Gwyrddfai, explaining the objective of the partnership. Commenting on this partnership, Iwan said: “Adra and Tŷ Gwyrddfai are proud to collaborate with a Welsh manufacturer like Nuaire. We are passionate about creating a circular economy and keeping the pound local. Nuaire, as manufacturers supplying quality products through the Ffrâm24 supply chain, will significantly enhance the homes of our tenants by enhancing air quality and controlling moisture levels." "This prevents condensation, dampness, and black mould from forming, which is a crucial benefit, especially at this time of year when many of our tenants face these issues. Adra is committed to working with companies that share our values and dedication to excellence.” Overview of Nuaire The cyclone game, which had guests scrabbling to remove foam balls from the cyclone chamber Jessica Cook, Strategic Marketing Director of Nuaire, provided a welcome introduction to the event and an overview of Nuaire. She was followed by Sarah Davies, Nuaire RMI Divisional Manager, who gave the background story to the partnership between Adra and Nuaire, focussing on the shared values of innovation, sustainability and supporting local communities. But it wasn’t all work! The cyclone game, which had guests scrabbling to remove foam balls from the cyclone chamber, added a fun element to the day and even saw one lucky person win a hamper after a tie break. Reducing carbon emissions Although it’s early days, Tŷ Gwyrddfai will contribute towards reducing carbon emissions in homes which, in turn, will reduce the impact of increasing fuel and energy costs by making homes more energy efficient and improve the quality of life for residents. In the longer term, Tŷ Gwyrddfai will lead to a more qualified and skilled workforce, which will support the local construction sector and ensure that any value generated through decarbonization and related capital investment will be retained locally.

In addition to sharing a stand with sister company Domus Ventilation at London Build (20-21st November at Olympia London) this year, UK ventilation manufacturer Nuaire is excited to announce it has an additional stand, L32, which is dedicated to high temperature fans. An active member of the Smoke Control Association, Nuaire has a well deserved reputation for quality product and technical knowledge in the fire and smoke market. Focus of Nuaire’s stand Nuaire’s comprehensive range of high temperature fans cater for a wide scope of temperature demands stipulated by global legislation and fire strategy. A key focus of Nuaire’s stand L32 at London Build will be its latest smoke shaft system, AxTân. AxTân was the first fully-certified shaft system to be introduced to the market - an all-in-one solution with skid, cowl and fan combined. This means it can be delivered straight to site and fitted as one whole unit, thus reducing time spent assembling on site as well as mitigating any installation issues. Nuaire’s AXUS high-temperature range AxTân is part of Nuaire’s AXUS high-temperature range that has axial, induction AxTân hits a sweet spot in performance of 6 m3/s and 300 pa. It’s high efficiency motors result in lower running costs, making it the optimum choice for any specification. AxTân is part of Nuaire’s AXUS high temperature range, which includes axial, induction and impulse solutions for smoke control project requirements, such as car parks, pressurization systems, ducted installations, and roof extract applications. Fans are tested to EN12101-3:2015. Units are high performance and are capable of operating at temperatures of 300°C and 400°C for 2 hours. Life safety products In addition to promoting its ventilation products suitable for smoke and heat applications, Nuaire will be providing visitors to London Build with an opportunity to expand their knowledge in this field courtesy of Simon Plummer, Divisional Manager for Axial Fans at Nuaire. Having worked within the HEVAC and, more specifically, the fan industry for over 37 years, specializing in car park ventilation and life safety products for the last two decades, Simon is recognized as one of the UK’s pioneering fire safety experts in his fields.
