Now that spring is well and truly upon us and the weather outside is warming up by the day, many businesses throughout the UK will be looking at ways to ensure that they keep their premises adequately cool and well ventilated. Opening the windows can help improve the flow of air coming through the office, however the best way to ensure that you have a constant comfortable temperature throughout the day is by installing natural ventilation systems available through us here at Heaters Wholesale.

This form of air conditioning allows air to move around the property freely, supplying each room with an adequate amount of warm and cool air to ensure the temperature stays constant and pleasant. Through natural ventilation, the hot air rises naturally, escaping through installed vents within ceilings, walls and window frames, whilst the cool air is drawn in through the vents.

If you’re looking for a natural ventilation system, there are two forms to consider – wind driven and stack ventilation; both of which are guaranteed to provide your premises with a comfortable environment throughout the year.

Both the wind driven and stack ventilation systems are guaranteed to provide your building with a range of benefits including:

•    Reduction in Energy Costs – it’s estimated that natural ventilation systems can save a property anywhere between 10% and 30% of the building’s energy consumption; which in a time when energy bills are constantly increasing is ever important.

•    Little to no maintenance – due to the system requiring no filters, pumps or fans it requires little to no maintenance; meaning once it has been installed you won’t be paying out for any other costs anytime soon.

Before the hot weather takes its toll on your office or home, why not contact us here at Heaters Wholesale and take advantage of our fantastic natural ventilation systems which will see a comfortable and constant temperature flow throughout your property all year round.

As an employer you have certain health and safety regulations to uphold in the workplace, in order to adequately preserve the health and safety of your employees. At Heaters Wholesale we have a thorough knowledge of Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Act 1992, and appreciate that without professional help these standards would become difficult to maintain. To make sure that you are adhering to this legislation, the team at Heaters Wholesale have devised a small guide to outline the regulations regarding factory ventilation – and why they’re so important.

Health and Safety: Ventilation Regulations

To comply with the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) 1994 Act, a working environment should provide adequate ventilation of fresh clean air, obtained from an outside source. This should deliver sufficient air movement without causing excessive draughts.

Even distribution of air sourced from outside should be provided to adequately remove any vapours which would otherwise be hazardous to your employees’ health. Where necessary you will need to source mechanical ventilation systems, and provide regular maintenance.

You should maintain a working environment which is comfortable. This is often subject to personal preference, but where necessary personal and environmental factors need to be considered. This can include the type of clothing your employees’ work in or the heat systems which are in place.

Ventilation systems are vital, especially in a working environment where vapours are often involved. To uphold appropriate health and safety regulations you need to speak to a professional in order to source a ventilation system which delivers the best protection for your employees. If you would like a professional to inspect your premises and offer advice regarding your current ventilation system, or you would like an annual maintenance service check, then contact Heaters Wholesale today.
