Ventilation System Commissioning

Residential Ventilation Systems - MVHR and MEV


Commissioning FAQs

What is residential ventilation MVHR commissioning, and why is it necessary?

Ventilation commissioning is the process of testing and verifying that a residential ventilation system is properly installed and functions as designed.

It ensures that the system provides adequate fresh air, controls moisture, and removes pollutants. This process is critical to meet Building Regulations Part F, which mandates sufficient ventilation for health and safety in homes.

Without proper commissioning, the ventilation system may not meet these regulations, leading to poor indoor air quality and potential health risks.

Why should I use a BPEC-accredited engineer for ventilation MVHR commissioning?**

BPEC-accredited engineers are specially trained and certified in the installation and commissioning of ventilation systems.

Their expertise ensures your system meets the highest standards of performance. Using a BPEC-accredited engineer also gives you peace of mind that the work complies with Building Regulations, as they are trained to follow the latest standards and best practices.

How does ventilation commissioning help with Building Control compliance?

Ventilation commissioning is a requirement under Building Regulations Part F. After commissioning, you'll receive a commissioning report, which is necessary to show Building Control inspectors that the system complies with these regulations.

Without this documentation, you may face delays in obtaining final approval for your building project.

What should I expect during the ventilation commissioning process?

During ventilation commissioning, a BPEC-accredited engineer will conduct tests such as air flow rate measurements and system balancing.

They will also inspect the installation for compliance with design specifications and ensure that all parts are functioning correctly. Once complete, you will receive a detailed report, including test results and any adjustments made, which can be submitted to Building Control.

What happens if my ventilation system doesn’t meet the required standards?

If your ventilation system doesn’t meet the required standards during commissioning, a BPEC-accredited engineer will identify the issues and recommend corrective actions.

Once adjustments are made, the system can be retested to ensure compliance with Building Regulations Part F. Failure to meet these standards can lead to building control delays.

How much does MVHR ventilation commissioning cost?

We offer MVHR commissioning for single and multiple plots – price will be based on quantity and apartment or house types.  

We will need original design plans and airflow calculations to complete the ventilation commissioning.  A certificate will issued with Pass or Fail.
