TR/35 Low Energy Ventilation For Residential Buildings

As homes and residential buildings become more airtight for energy efficiency, delivering effective ventilation is essential to ensure good indoor air quality and occupant wellbeing. TR/35 provides best practice guidance for the installation of low-energy ventilation systems in settings such as houses, apartments, student accommodation, and care homes.

The guide covers a range of system types, including Mechanical Extract Ventilation (MEV and IMEV), Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR), Passive Stack Ventilation (PSV), and Positive Input Ventilation (PIV). It outlines typical components, installation methods, and key considerations for both centralised and decentralised systems.

Designed for installers, designers, and housing professionals, TR/35 supports compliance with Building Regulations Parts F and L. It also includes commissioning checklists, ductwork best practices, and reference to low-energy design principles.

Key Features:

• Covers MEV, MVHR, PSV, PIV, and intermittent MEV systems
• Installation guidance for centralised and decentralised ventilation
• Practical advice on ductwork sizing, layout, and commissioning
• Aligns with UK Building Regulations Parts F, L, and J
