Mechanical Ventilation

Inbuild UK’s Mechanical Ventilation solutions are designed to deliver reliable, continuous air movement within buildings using fans, ductwork, and control systems. Unlike natural ventilation, mechanical systems provide precise control over airflow rates, making them ideal for environments where consistent ventilation is essential.

These systems are widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings to manage heat, humidity, odours, and airborne contaminants. Options include supply ventilation, extract ventilation, and balanced systems such as Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR), which improves energy efficiency by reclaiming heat from outgoing air.

Key benefits include:

• Consistent air exchange regardless of weather
• Improved indoor air quality (IAQ)
• Effective control of humidity and condensation
• Energy-efficient operation options
• Compatibility with automated controls and BMS integration
• Suitable for both new-build and retrofit installations
• Compliance with Approved Document F and relevant UK standards

Inbuild UK’s Mechanical Ventilation systems are engineered for performance, reliability, and regulatory compliance, ensuring comfortable and healthy indoor environments year-round.

It is a system that uses powered fans and ducting to supply and extract air within a building.

Mechanical systems provide controlled airflow regardless of external conditions, whereas natural ventilation relies on weather and pressure differences.

It is used in homes, offices, schools, commercial spaces, and industrial facilities.

Systems include extract-only, supply-only, balanced ventilation, and MVHR systems.

Yes — especially MVHR systems, which recover heat and reduce overall energy consumption.

Yes — regular maintenance includes filter replacement, fan inspection, and duct cleaning.
