NSBRC throws free event on cooling your home

Swindon’s National Self Build & Renovation Centre is holding a free event advising people on how they can cool their homes.

The UK’s award-winning homebuilding visitor centre will host its ventilation drop-in clinic on Saturday, July 4.

The centre’s drop-in clinics are half-day events designed to provide a deep-dive into a specific topic for house-builders or renovators.

“Ventilation can determine how your home performs – impacting everything from heat retention and energy bills to air quality and long-term durability,” said the centres managing director, Harvey Fremlin.

“Getting this balance right early in the design stage is essential to avoid problems such as overheating, condensation & poor indoor air quality.”

During the session, visitors will be able to explore systems, attend expert-led seminars and book free 1-to-1 consultations to discuss their project.

Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery and Air Conditioning will form part of the solutions package.

Confirmed Exhibitors include:

• The Unico System: Showcasing a simple solution offering instant heating, cooling and ventilation with improved air quality for your well-being.
• Airflow Developments: Discussing Passivhaus principles of ventilation.
• Total Home Environment: Exploring Heat Recovery Ventilation and Heat Pump Ventilation solutions.
• Ubbink: Reviewing the benefits & legislation around Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery.
• Cambridge Retrofit Hub: Explaining exactly how Mechanical Ventilation & Heat Recovery (MVHR) works, with an interactive demonstration rig.
