The Airflow Loovent Eco T is designed to comply with Building Regulations Part F (2010) with a specific fan power (SFP) of just 0.21 to 0.40 w/l/s. The 2-speed bathroom fan features a "low" setting that uses just 3.6W to provide continuous ventilation, and a 12W "Boost" function. Despite its low energy consumption, the Loovent Eco T has an incredible airflow rate (62 m³/hr low/ 110 m³/hr boost).

It is a powerful centrifugal fan with a discreet style; it is modular in design for ease of installation and maintenance, ensuring effective ventilation with minimal noise and maximum efficiency in mind. It is suitable for refurbishment of toilets, en-suites, bathrooms, utilities, and kitches (if installed adjacent to the hob), and for the new build. 

This model includes a timer function that can be set to run on between 2 and 45 minutes, and the fan can be set to delay startup by 2 minutes. A pull cord activates the boost function when needed, or provides an override.

With a compact modular design (the Eco T has the smallest footprint in its class) and a wipe-clean cover that keeps the appliance looking clean and new, the Loovent Eco range is the first choice for new builds and refurbishments.

The Causes and Effects of 'Toxic Home Syndrome' and how to Combat it

It is estimated that over 15.3 million homes in the UK are at risk of ‘Toxic Home Syndrome’ (THS), a condition that occurs where there is an excess of airborne pollutants. These pollutants can have adverse health effects on the residents of a home suffering from it. Thankfully, Airflow offers a wide range of residential solutions. They are one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of ventilation products for all types of homes and properties. They have been innovating in the field of ventilation for decades - since they started out in 1959. Their first product that made waves in the industry was the Loovent, which went on to become a best-seller. Since then, they have continued to excel in bringing out top-of-the-range ventilation solutions. The causes of ‘Toxic Home Syndrome’ John Kelly, the Marketing Manager at Airflow Developments, has emphasised the importance of quality indoor air to the health of occupants. Toxic Home Syndrome is extremely widespread and the reasons become clear when you look at the causes of this issue - they are hard to avoid. THS is triggered by the buildup of airborne pollutants and moisture in the air - these are called ‘volatile organic compounds’ (VOCs). Condensation is one of the main culprits when it comes to indoor pollutants that negatively impact our health. Water vapour produced by condensation encourages the growth of mould and damp, which creates uninhabitable indoor spaces. Mould and fungi are major triggers for asthma sufferers, who are also vulnerable to other VOCs such as house dust mites, pet dander, pollen and humid air. All of these conditions come about as a result of poorly ventilated homes. It is not just natural occurrences - such as condensation - that cause THS; many other factors are man-made. Everyday activities such as cooking, showering and even breathing contributes to the noxious air that leads to THS (see more on the Toxic Home Syndrome here). It is crucial that you avoid unknowingly go about living in a home suffering from THS. The repercussions on your health could be disastrous. The effects of Toxic Home Syndrome John Kelly has underlined findings of the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) and the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH). The report is entitled ‘Every Breath We Take: the lifelong impact of air pollution’. The report suggests that severe health conditions such as cancer, asthma, heart disease and even obesity can all be attributed to the cleanliness of the air we breathe on a daily basis. The problem of THS is compounded by the average modern lifestyle. Most houses are now fitted to be eco-conscious, with improved levels of insulation effectively sealing off the building. The cost of increased insulation is stagnant, VOC-filled air within our homes. These compounds, along with other pathogens, are directly linked to long-term respiratory conditions. How we can combat Toxic Home Syndrome with Airflow fans? We should all be aware of the risks of VOCs, and ensure that we keep high standards for the quality of our indoor air. Social housing providers also have a legal responsibility to take affirmative action to protect their tenants from this problem. As stated before, Airflow made waves in the ventilation industry with the Loovent. This ventilation unit is a powerful and subtle centrifugal fan with a modular design. Other Airflow products such as the iCON60 fans are also well-suited for both standard homes and social housing. This is because these fans are specifically designed to be efficient in large areas, for instance, in residents lounges. This great range minimises heat loss and back wind, and blends discreetly into any building interior. The QuietAir range is worth consideration, as it was designed to perform at efficient levels of extraction, with minimal sound levels of only 25 dBA. The Airflow QT100 is a product well worth looking into if you are ventilating social housing. It can have an adjustable humidity and timer, with a delay start of two minutes and the ability to run on only 5 watts. Meanwhile, there is the iCONstant ventilation fan which sounds off at a quiet 21dBA and has the option of a humidity sensor, which adds to its eco-efficiency. The importance of keeping your homes’ air healthy The report from the RCP emphasises the importance of keeping our homes free from airborne pollutants. People now spend an estimated 90% of their time indoors, and research indicates pollutant levels are five times higher indoors than they are outdoors (approximately). Effective ventilation is therefore essential to the well-being of occupants. More on the Sick Building Syndrome via NHS here. Social housing providers have a responsibility to ensure that all their properties have adequate ventilation to protect their residents. Airflow is the perfect solution for social housing providers and home-owners alike. They have been tackling the detrimental effects of bad indoor air quality for decades now, and have never stopped innovating in this time.

The Perfect Green Deal Bathroom Ventilation Fans: the Airflow LOOVENT Eco!

With over 40 years of experience in manufacturing and selling airflow ventilation systems, Airflow has a wide range of bathroom fans and kitchen fans, including the LOOVENT Eco range. Continuing its range of LOOVENT fans of "legendary reputation" since 1969 or so, Airflow has transformed this range into a modern 2-speed ECO version for a safer, cheaper to run, low energy, and more modern bathroom ventilation. With a discreet style in a modular design, and extremely easy to install and maintain, the LOOVENT Eco bathroom centrifugal fans are quiet and come with either a timer, a humidity timer, or a motion sensor with timer. The Airflow 72684308 timer version for example allows you to set the run-on timer between 2 and 24 minutes, and you can select a delay of two minutes after the light is turned on in the bathroom. This fan can be connected to the light switch, and it comes with a momentary pull-cord switch as a "manual boost" override for you to switch to the second speed (the standard speed is the first one). The Airflow LOOVENT eco range of fans is great for bathrooms and toilets where the duct runs are long since the centrifugal impeller is powerful enough to move air over longer distances when met with pressure resistance from ducting. With an ingress protection rating of IPx5, these fans are suitable for use in zone 1 or 2 with a 30mA RCD (as defined in Section 701 BS7161:2008 IEEE Wiring Regulations, 17th Edition). They also comply with the latest Building Regulations, Approved Document F (part L). This range of bathroom fans successfully replaces the old-style (very popular) LOOVENT fans; the spigot position is identical and the back plates are the same size (reworking is thus minimal). Airflow LOOVENT Eco Bathroom Fans - Features and Benefits Economical to operate: the "low setting" uses only 3.5W to provide continuous ventilation, the "high speed" 12W (for "boosting" the ventilation). Cheaper to run. High extraction rate: 62 m³/hr at low speed, 110 m³/hr boost. Very quiet running: 29 / 47 dB(A) at 3m. Low SPF: only 0.21 / 0.40 w/l/s Compact design: modernized curved edge design. Longer life ball bearing motor. LOOVENT Eco T: complete with a timer which can be set to run on 2-45 mins. Internal electrics: now contained inside a separate sealed housing (very safe). Ideal for new builds and refurbishments, with a small footprint and a modern design. Great for bathrooms, toilets, en-suites, utilities room, kitchens, etc. Green Deal: The LOOVENT eco dMEV version will be the perfect solution for the “Green Deal” which is the latest Government initiative and ideal if you have added additional insulation to your home. This fan will combat any problems with condensation and mould and remove any odors that may occur. Ducting: 100mm / 4-inch fan. Fan dimensions: 187 mm width, 167 mm height, 138 mm depth. Double insulated: does not require an earth connection. Mounting: can be surface or recessed, portrait or landscape, as needed. Location: it is important to locate this fan in the best location for an optimal performance, ideally at the furthest point away from where the replacement air enters in the bathroom. IP rating: IPx5, suitable for use in the bathroom (zones 1 and 2) Mains voltage: 100 / 240V - 50/60Hz single phase supply. LOOVENT Eco Fans - a Fan for Every Application! New Build: LOOVENT eco gives the Specifier of ventilation for new dwellings the opportunity to select low energy efficient intermittent extraction in toilets, en-suites, bathrooms, utility rooms and kitchens in compliance with the latest Building Regulations. For better sealed houses and those Specifiers implementing a decentralized, whole-house ventilation strategy the continuous ventilation dMEV model is the ideal choice. Repair and Refurbishment: From simple DIY to planned upgrade and refurbishment the LOOVENT eco provides proven performance with outstanding reliability and functionality. Built on the pedigree of over 2 million Loovents sold since it’s introduction in 1969, the next generation LOOVENT eco even has the same mounting points and offset spigot position of its predecessor making it quick and simple to replace. Social Housing: It is not only low energy, but incorporates quiet operation and good value that concerns Social Housing Specifiers. With the move away from ad-hoc repairs to longer-term planned maintenance programmes the Asset Manager has his eye on long-life components that require minimal ongoing maintenance, LOOVENT eco with ball bearing motor technology provides the assurance of many years of trouble-free operation that can be relied upon for inclusion in their MRS planning. And the good news is that, for a limited period of time, you can purchase the LOOVENT Eco 4-inch 72684305 with timer and the version with humidistat 72684306 at a lower price than usual. If you're a LOOVENT fan or you need a high-quality centrifugal ventilation fan with low noise operation, energy-saving ECO credentials, low cost maintenance, and compliance with the Green Deal requirements, you should definitely check these fans out at Sparks!

Airflow Loovent Eco Fans Exceed the Building Regulations (Part F)

Domestic ventilation is a big deal. Roughly speaking, ventilation is required for: bringing in fresh air from outdoors the dilution and removal of airborne pollutants such as mould and odour ensuring that the humidity levels in a space don't get too high In October 2010, the building regulations were updated to include the latest version of "Part F," which covers the ventilation requirements for new and existing properties. They are hard to decode, but we can offer some help in the form of electrical products. What Does Part F Specify? If you were wondering what does Part F of Building Regulations specify, here it is in a nutshell: a ventilation system needs to be supplied in order to reduce mould and other pollutants that could prove hazardous to the health of the building's inhabitants. Basically, a ventilation system needs to: extract pollutants and water vapour before those things are generally widespread rapidly dilute those things when necessary make available over long periods a minimum supply of outdoor air be installed in such a way that aids later maintenance In addition, Part F mandates that dwellings must be airtight (to a certain degree) to reduce domestic emissions. The specifications for new and existing buildings can be found in the Approved Document. They are complicated, and include guidelines on concepts like Specific Fan Power and trickle ventilation, but there is an easy way to meet these standards! Airflow's Loovent Eco Extractor Fans The Loovent Eco series exceeds these requirements. These are dMEV (Domestic Mechanical Extract Ventilation) fans for whole house ventilation (also known as background ventilation), but also feature a "boost mode" to provide extra ventilation when it is needed. These fans are high-powered enough to meet the specifications set out in Part F: in bathrooms, a 7 or 9 litres-per-second mode can be set, or in kitchens a 13 litre/sec speed may be more appropriate. The boost function offers up to 30 litre/sec. Loovent Eco fans have a specific fan power (the electric power needed to drive a fan relative to the amount of air that is circulated through it) of just 0.3 w/l/s, less than the required 0.5 w/l/s. What's more, we offer models in our online store that include a adjustable humidistat, timer, and/or a PIR motion sensor for energy-saving purposes in line with Part L of those same building regulations. These models are compact, easy to install, and dare we say... stylish? Practically noiseless and highly efficient, the Loovent Eco series of dMEV fans are the clear choice for domestic whole-house ventilation for Part F-compliant buildings.
