Leading British fan manufacturer Vent-Axia has supplied two Sentinel Multivent H central extract units to a refurbished tenement property in Edinburgh New Town. The former basement store has been redeveloped and extended to create a luxury 5-bedroom home and has been named as one of the ‘100 best homes in Scotland since 2000’ according to the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland.
The project, led by Capital A Architecture, involved an extensive redesign and extension that created a more open plan living area, split over two levels. The rear garden is steep and the re-designed garden room has a lowered floor level to connect to the garden with as few steps as possible. The 7-month build included installation of Vent-Axia’s Sentinel Multivent H continuous mechanical extract ventilation (MEV) units which provided ventilation to the kitchen, bathroom and three en-suite areas.
Níall Hedderman, Director at Capital A Architecture designed the project and was involved throughout the construction phase. As a listed building, ventilation specification had to be considered carefully to minimise alterations to the building’s structure. Níall Hedderman explains: “The Vent-Axia Multivent was specified since it minimised the number of penetrations on the external wall, a serious consideration for alterations to a listed building.”
A continuous running MEV system, the Sentinel Multivent H was ideal for the project since its integral humidity sensor is designed for the simultaneous ventilation of separate areas in the home.
