Vent-Axia Sensors and Switches
Select a product
For ventilation systems to be truly efficient it is important for them to operate only when needed. Our range of Sentinel demand ventilation systems along with our controls and sensors help respond to the exact ventilation requirements of a room at any one time. Providing airflow only when it is required and at the level that it is required ensures that only the energy that is needed is used; no more no less. Approved Document L now recognises the value that controls can offer and you will find Vent-Axia offer a range of solutions to ensure that you can maximise the benefit of automation where ever you chose to use it.
