Vent-Axia’s Lo-Carbon™ Tempra Shortlisted in Energy Awards

Vent-Axia has made the final shortlist in the prestigious Energy Awards 2012, which recognise and reward companies leading the way in reducing carbon emissions. Vent-Axia’s Lo-Carbon™ Tempra single room heat recovery has been selected for the shortlist in the ‘Energy Efficient Product of the Year’ category.

Part of the company’s innovative Lo-Carbon™ initiative, Vent-Axia’s revolutionary Tempra is the UK’s first single room heat recovery unit which can be simply retrofitted through a 100mm diameter hole in the wall. This allows traditional inefficient extract fans to be easily replaced with this discreet, low energy, continuously running alternative that also offers affordable heat recovery.

Providing up to 80% heat recovery, the Tempra is the only unit of its type which can be retrofitted through a 100mm diameter hole in the wall. This enables standard bathroom, kitchen, toilet or utility room fans to be easily changed for a Tempra without the need to make the hole any larger, saving substantially on installation time and cost.

Central to the Tempra’s compact footprint required to fit in a 100mm diameter hole is its double wheel motorised impellers. The innovative technology allows for just one motor to be used with an extended shaft to drive two impellers to achieve double flow requirements, resulting in a very energy efficient solution. The unit’s performance, taken together with Tempra’s integral Lo-Carbon™ DC motor, brings significant energy savings and will help reduce a home’s carbon footprint.

Discreet and quiet in operation, Tempra can be set to run continuously at 6 l/s or 9 l/s, boosting up to 13 l/s if required. For intermittent extract applications, the unit can be set to operate at 15 l/s. It also incorporates a manual summer setting to ensure that when it is warm outside, it operates on extract only. This eliminates the risk of the home overheating in hot summer weather.

Attended by the biggest names in the energy industry, the Energy Awards are now one of the most important dates in the energy calendar. This year’s event will be held on Wednesday 5 December at the Grosvenor House Hotel on London’s Park Lane.

The Tempra is part of Vent-Axia’s Lo-Carbon™ collection. The aim of the Lo-Carbon initiative is to offer the latest low carbon ventilation technology in order to reduce building energy consumption and so carbon emissions.
