A SMARTER, MORE
ECO-FRIENDLY APPROACH
TO VENTILATION
Research tells us that over 80% of
the life cycle cost of a ventilation
system comes from energy usage.As
the leading energy-saving ventilation
controls technology system on the
market today, Ecosmart uses less
electricity and operates only when
needed, dramatically reducing
energy costs year on year and over
the system’s natural life.
FRESH APPROACH
Like the fresh, clean environments its
products create, Nuaire’s fresh
approach to ventilation has brought
its own rewards. Business is growing,
with innovative new products being
developed all the time, setting new
standards in energy efficiency and
reduced carbon emissions.
CUSTOM DESIGN
The latest manufacturing technology
and accredited test facilities enable
us to take a flexible approach to the
design and build of the right fan
solution. More importantly we
consider the interface with the
client’s equipment and processes,
which can usually lead to a
reduction in assembly costs.
COMMITMENT
TO QUALITY
At Nuaire, quality control and a
commitment to constant
improvement are ingrained in
everything we do.We were not only
the first fan manufacturer to achieve
the quality standard ISO9001 but
we are also currently approved to
BS EN ISO 9000:2000, the very
latest quality standard.

OVERVIEW OF NUAIRE’S
HISTORY AND PEDIGREE
5nuaire.co.uk
We don’t believe in focussing solely on the ventilation system.A key aspect of Nuaire’s approach consists of the way we
interface with our customer’s equipment and manufacturing process leading, in the majority of cases, to a significant
reduction in assembly costs. With this approach we achieve great results and the satisfaction of our customers. The
following examples demonstrate not just how we approach things but some of the results we achieve.
PUTTING CUSTOM SOLUTIONS INTO CIRCULATION:THE MOST FLEXIBLEAHU RANGE ONTHE MARKETTODAY
The XBOXER range offers a solution for every conceivable application and environment, whether inside a plant room or
on a roof. There are XBOXER solutions for applications in industrial premises and public buildings as well as domestic
dwellings, schools, offices, shops and hospitals.
SWISS RE, LONDON
Ventilation: Ecosmart Boxer
The iconic Swiss Re was designed to provide an energy efficient alternative to
other office buildings.The steel and glass design maximises daylight penetration
and minimises the requirement for artificial light. Light level and movement
sensors prevent unnecessary lighting helping to reduce energy consumption and
cooling loads. Ecosmart Boxer provided the required high levels of ventilation
whilst being one of the most energy efficientAHUs on the market.
CASE STUDIES
MANCHESTER SCHOOLS
Ventilation: XBOXER heat recovery
XBOXER 55 high efficiency plate
heat exchangers were installed below
classroom ceilings to provide
enhanced air quality and improve
energy efficiency within the school.
The units required a high quality
paint finish, low depth, high
performance with tested & approved
noise levels to meet client and
relevant regulations.
HOLIDAY INN, BIRMINGHAM
INTERNATIONALAIRPORT
Ventilation: XBOXER thermal wheel
The 141 room hotel at Birmingham
Airport recently underwent a multi-
million pound refurbishment
programme. Nuaire’s XBOXER
thermal wheel sizeT6 was installed
on the roof top.The inclusion of the
unit in the hotel’s mechanical design
not only provides year round savings
in heating and cooling costs, it also
helps to increase the indoor air quality.
At Nuaire, we pride ourselves on working closely with our customer at
every stage of the development process, while the latest manufacturing
technology and accredited test facilities enable us to offer a flexible
approach to the design and build of the right fan solution.

MORE THAN
JUST FANS
INNOVATION IN THE AIR
Nuaire has built a loyal customer base over the years and not just
because of the quality of its fans.The fact is,the company also has a long
and successful history in heat recovery and has been developing and
manufacturing AHUs for many years. In order to ensure quality control
and optimum energy conservation, the company manufactures the
majority of the components itself.
ContemporaryAHUs are called upon to meet all conceivable air handling requirements and standards throughout Europe.Every
AHU in the Nuaire range meets the requirements laid down by the classification in the CEN standard and is manufactured
in a factory that has been certified for its quality control (ISO 9001) and environmental policy (ISO 14001).
PUTTING OUR QUALITIES TO THE TEST
The company's rigorous product testing regime is unrivalled in the industry,
which is hardly surprising given multi-million pound test facilities considered to
be amongst the most modern and comprehensive in the world. It’s all designed
to ensure that our customers benefit from the best ventilation solutions on the
market today.The facilities have been designed to meet the latest industry
standards and carry the appropriate approvals including those from the British
Standards Institute and the Air Movement and Controls Association.
The two reverberant chambers at the facility (Type D and Type A configurations)
test for both aerodynamic and acoustic performance, allowing Nuaire to self-
certify products, including those for the French market, as well as ensuring that
products meet the high standards consistent with Nuaire’s reputation.
No two AHUs are the same whether you need to satisfy the most budget
demanding contract or the most sophisticated, energy conscious, bespoke
project the XBOXER range can fulfil your requirements. Nuaire’s experienced
team can provide technical information and support for any project that
requires an AHU.
The team utilise the latest parametric quoting software and can provide
quick and accurate estimates.The software also reduces time during
specification changes.
The team comprise of specialist engineers, project managers and technical
estimators all highly trained to ensure that your AHU project runs as
smoothly as possible from enquiry through to installation.
SIMPLE, PRECISE COMMISSIONING
As recommended in Part L, Ecosmart enables the system
to be accurately commissioned via an integrated speed
control, minimum and maximum speeds easily adjusted
via commissioning panel integral to the control.
QUIETER SYSTEMS
With Ecosmart your system is only at maximum design
duty when absolutely necessary.The noise levels within
your systems are lower because the fans or air handling
units are rarely at full speed.
IMPROVED LIFECYCLE
Ecosmart enables the fan or air handling unit to be run at
lower speeds.This reduces the maximum load and wear
and therefore increases the overall working life of the units.
DEMAND VENTILATION
Only ventilates the area when you want it to - why fully
ventilate a room when it’s not occupied - maximum
savings possible achieved.
HEALTHY ATMOSPHERE
Ecosmart has a trickle function as standard which when
activated, via a simple switch, enables you to set a
background ventilation rate, keeping the rooms fresh when
unoccupied, whilst still saving energy. System will boost or
ramp to maximum design duty when triggered by an
Ecosmart or other external device.
Ecosmart has a 5 year warranty.

ES-CO2 RM
CO2 and temperature sensor requires SELV power supply by others.
ES-CO2 RMPP
CO2 and temperature sensor supplied with SELV ac power supply.
The sensor will monitor the carbon dioxide (CO2) and temperature (see note 1)
within the room. If either reading reaches the low threshold values (i.e. C1 &T1)
see opposite, then a signal will be sent to start running the fan at minimum speed.
As the room CO2 and temperature rises, the fan speed will progressively increase
in steps until the upper threshold values are reached.When both CO2 and
temperature readings are in operation, whichever reading that results in higher
fan speed will be used by the fan unit.
The threshold values and other operations can be adjusted by setting DIL
switches on the PCB to different positions.
Note 1:As supplied; the default operation of the sensor will be based on
carbon dioxide reading. If operation with both carbon dioxide and
temperature is desirable then change position of switch 7 to ‘ON’.
Note 2: use switch 8 to change the off state (see table below).

NATURAL VENTILATION - SAVING MONEY COMES NATURALLY
Intelligent all-year-round ventilation.
A-Series e-stacks: innovative low energy approach for buildings
where rooms are connected to a central atrium.
S-Series e-stacks: Suited to spaces with higher heat gains and for
rooms with more than 35 occupants, such as halls and theatres.
R-Series e-stacks: Designed specifically for rooms occupied by 10
to 35 people, ideal for classrooms and offices.
F-Series e-stacks: Designed for spaces which have access to the
external wall and where sloping roofs are used for high level
windows.
By employing upward displacement in the
summer and a patented mixing mode solution
in the winter,e-stack uses natural ventilation to
reduce CO2 levels and energy bills while helping
to maintain a constant room temperature,
enabling occupants to work more efficiently
and more healthily.
.
IN SUMMER
Natural displacement ventilation can be utilised
allowing opening windows/louvres to provide make
up air for the natural stack effect through the
e-stack unit. This can be boosted in very high
temperatures to purge the rooms and return the
space to a comfortable level. In night cooling mode
the system allows cool air in through the e-stack
unit to take advantage of the thermal mass and
again can be boosted to provide additional supply
air and cooling.
IN WINTER
Fresh air is allowed to enter the space via the divided
shaft in the e-stack unit where it is mixed with warm
room air in the mixing box section. The mixed air is
then distributed in to the space at the desired
temperature avoiding cold drafts by constantly
measuring internal and external temperatures. The
remaining warm stale air is allowed to rise from the
space to the atmosphere.Internal CO2 sensors ensure
the system operates within building regulations 365
days a year.
The combination of natural ventilation and mixed
mode systems ensure ideal room conditions for the
occupants 365 days a year by intelligently monitoring
and controlling the ventilation system.We believe that
using this combination you can create environments
that are perfectly suited for all applications and
buildings.
For further details refer to the Commercial catalogue.

The state-of-the-art hi-tech hub which was designed
byAtkins and installed by Interserve,encompasses 14
laboratories, four ICT suites, 30 teaching spaces, and
associated administration and ancillary features,
spanning in total 6,500m2
.
The hub’s main atria provides an avenue between
two teaching blocks and is a weatherised space
serviced by low velocity fans.
Mechanical ventilation housed in the buildings’ roof
voids includes stacked Xboxer heat recovery, while
Through a combination of passive and assisted night
cooling as well as controlled daytime ventilation
rates, the peak internal temperature observed was
27.5ºC even when external temperatures exceeded
29ºC (BB101 allows up to 120 hours over 28ºC, and
a peak temperature of 32ºC).
As you would expect in summer, CO2 levels
remained well below those required to meet BB101.
Additional savings were observed in winter due to
the heat gains in the space being used to temper
incoming air in a reliable, controllable manner.
The limited amount of thermal mass available for
temperature buffering was maximised, and the low
constant pressure twin fans were chosen to aid
ventilation in other areas including ICT suites, toilets
and administrative facilities.
A series stacks situated on the roofs are served by
shafts taken through the building, which serve all
classrooms and laboratories, delivering fresh air
efficiently and quietly to ensure that students and
staff are not disturbed during lesson time.
Both the natural and mechanical systems are
designed to work throughout the year.
energy fans in the units were only activated when
the internal spaces benefitted from increased
airflow through the rooms.
This low energy mixing negates the need for
preheating of air, which causes many naturally
ventilated buildings to actually consume more energy
than their mechanically ventilated counterparts. In
fact, space heating is only required for pre-heating
prior to occupancy, and in the coldest weather.
Asbuildingsbecomeincreasinglywellinsulatedandair-
tight,the e-stack system becomes an ever-increasingly
attractive option from an energy perspective.

A GUIDE TO
COMMERCIAL BUILDING
SERVICES LEGISLATION
BUILDING REGULATIONS PART L2 (CONSERVATION
OF FUELAND POWER IN NON-DOMESTIC
DWELLINGS) EFFECTIVE FROM OCTOBER 2010
The new part L2 Part A for new buildings and Part B
for work on existing buildings came into force in
October 2010.
To fall in Line with the EU Energy Performance in
Buildings Directive (EPDB), the new L2 2010 , Part F
(Northern Ireland – update due 2012) and the
Technical Handbook - Section 6 (Scotland) 2011
documents require a major change in the way
buildings are to be assessed for compliance with
energy efficiency and carbon emission standards.
The new approach taken is to compare the CO2
emissions for the actual building (Building Emission
rate – BER) with those of a notional building of the
same size and shape, and constructed to a concurrent
specification laid down in the National Calculation
Methodology (NCM) – the approved procedure for
demonstrating compliance with the UK building
regulations – (Target Emission rate –TER).
This approach has been adopted because of the
variations in improvement potential across a variety of
building types.Extensive research was carried out into
the main building categories,and appropriate levels of
CO2 emission reductions were identified based on the
cost of achieving them in the various building types.
When factored together with the likely build mix and
build rates, the aggregate CO2 emissions reduction
over 2006 emissions rates is 25 %.
Part L requires a reasonable provision for the
conservation of fuel and power in buildings by:
a.limiting heat gains and losses:
i. through thermal elements and other parts of the
building fabric: and;
ii. from pipes,ducts and vessels used for space heating
and space cooling and hot water services:
b. providing and commissioning energy efficient fixed
building services that are fitted with effective
controls and;
c. providing the building owner with sufficient
information about the building and the fixed building
services and their maintenance requirements, to
allow their efficient operation.
Approved Documents offer technical guidance on
means of compliance with the Buildings regulations.
They are not intended to represent the only methods
available,but they do provide reference points that are
useful in the practical process of compliance. If the
guidance is followed, there is a presumption that the
compliance requirements will be met.
Approved Document Part L2A covers work on new
non-domestic buildings and major extensions to
existing non-domestic buildings – i.e. where the
additional useful floor area is greater than 100m2 and
25% of the original building’s floor area.
Approved Document Part L2B addresses works on
existing buildings including extensions (smaller than
those mentioned above), change of building use,
provision or extension of controlled services and
fittings, replacement of thermal elements and
consequential improvements.The latter being general
fabric or services upgrades triggered by a complex set
of criteria related to intended works.
The new regulations require the submission of a
checklist that demonstrates that compliance has
been met against five defined criteria.These criteria
are detailed inApproved Document L2A.
Criteria1 is mandatory and refers directly to Building
regulation 17C.Criteria 2-5 are considered as guidance.
Criteria Main Points
1. The Building emission rate (BER) must be less than
the Target emissions rate (TER) as calculated under
the approved methodology.
2. The performance of the building fabric and heating,
hot water and fixed lighting systems should achieve
reasonable overall standards of energy efficiency.To
avoid a situation where poorly performing systems
or construction details are compensated for by other
means, limits on design flexibility are imposed for
building fabric and services.For building services,this
includes the use of appropriate controls,equipment
with minimum efficiency levels (verified by testing
to acceptable standards) see “Associated
Documents” below, and appropriate levels of
metering and monitoring.
19nuaire.co.uk
3. The building shall be provided with appropriate
passive control measures to limit solar gains – to
reduce the need for, or capacity of air conditioning
systems. (note that compliance with the suggested
assessment method does not imply that acceptable
levels of comfort will be achieved in the space.
4. The performance of the building, as built, is
consistent with the BER. Credits are given in the
emissions calculation procedures where this can be
demonstrated. Particular attention is required to
building air-tightness, where extensive guidance
exists and to the continuity of thermal insulation,
for which it is suggested that reference be made to
accredited construction details and third party
verification of design detail. Building services are
required to be commissioned effectively (where
possible) according to the approved procedures in
CIBSE guide M – Commissioning Management.
Documentary evidence of the use of the approved
procedure is required for Building Control to issue a
final compliance certificate. Air leakage testing of
ductwork may be required, depending on the
classification claimed in the BER calculation.
5. The necessary provisions for energy-efficient
operation of the building are put in place.This is best
achieved by using the guidance in CIBSE TM31 –
Building Log Book toolkit. Information on the
building services equipment may be cross referenced
to the specification documentation and the
manufacturers’ operation and maintenance
manuals. Data used to calculate the TER and BER
should be included in the Log Book along with the
recommendations for improvements that are
generated by the assessment software package used.
ASSESSMENTTOOLS - SOFTWARE
Thecarbonemissionscalculationmethodologyrequired
when generating the BER, TER and the compliance
checklist, is implemented in the Simplified Building
Energy Model (SBEM) with its user interface - iSBEM –
freely obtainable from the National Calculation
Methodology web site.Local authorities are authorised
to accept calculations only from persons deemed by
Building Control Bodies as suitably competent.
Several dynamic thermal modelling software tools
have also been approved for the purpose of assessment
and are commercially available, and offer additional
functionality.
Note that it is required to provide Building Control
with the design based TER / BER calculations,
together with details of the building specifications
upon which they have been based, prior to the
commencement of construction works.
At the end of construction, calculations based on
the completed design, and details of changes in
construction method or specification must also
be submitted.
ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS
Because of the large amount of technical data and
information that is now required to prove compliance
with the Building Regulations, and the relative
inflexibility of theApproved document as a design tool,
it has become necessary to refer to additional
documentation for much of the technical detail.These
associated documents again offer guidance on
requirements without necessarily providing absolute
limits of performance.In many cases,reference is made
to a wide variety of relevant harmonised European
technical standards that exist to support the important
EU directives such as the Energy performance in
Buildings Directive, and the Energy Using / Energy
Related Products Directive.
For building services products, the Non Domestic
Building Services Compliance Guide describes
performance standards for the majority of equipment
types that are encountered in current designs,
including heating, cooling, hot water, pipe and duct
insulation,lighting,pumping and,of most relevance to
Nuaire products – Section 10: Air Distribution systems.
This guidance considers the following system types :-
Central air conditioning systems, central mechanical
ventilation systems with heating, cooling or heat
recovery, all“other” central systems, zonal supply and
extract systems where the fan is remote from the zone
and ducting is required – for example in a ceiling void
or on the roof, and local systems serving one room
directly (un-ducted) such as a window mounted fans.
The principal means of efficiency regulation for
ventilation systems is the use of limiting Specific Fan
Power (SFP).
As a straight-forward, easily calculated location and
duty specific measure, this single figure reference
effectively combines the actual efficiency rating of the
product,and the adequacy of the actual system design.
Calculated as the mains delivered power (W) divided
by the system delivered airflow (l/s),the guide provides
SFP limits for each system type.
The variations shown are related to assumptions made
abouttheefficienciesoftheavailableimpellers/motors
/drives employed,and the aerodynamic resistances of
the internal components – for example coils and filters
– within air handling units, and of the distribution
ductwork etc.
029 2085 820020
Additional SFP allowances are given for various system
elements.
Some of the application classes defined are extremely
tightly specified in this regard, and this leads to a
situation where fan types that may have practical
benefits (for example in acoustic properties) cannot be
used.
There are practical limits to the efficiency of
commercially available components, and this will
ultimately constrain the types of distribution systems
that may be used in terms of the operational system
resistance.
The latest edition of the Scottish Technical handbook
Section 6, includes limiting values for external system
resistance (this was also planned for the England and
Wales version, but deleted late on in the process).
The guide very clearly states (10.3 KeyTerms) that the
specific fan power of an air distribution system should
be calculated according to the procedure given in BS
EN 13779 2007 Annex D:- Ventilation for Non-
residential buildings – Performance requirements for
ventilationandroomconditioningsystems.
This important and informative standard describes
in Annex D: - the SFP value for the entire building,
defined as the weighted average of the SFPE values of
individual units and fans.
For variable air volume flow systems,the SFPE shall be
defined at a partial operating air flow and related
external pressure drop - specified for the fan or air
handling unit.
If the operating profile (of flow rate with respect to
time) of the unit is known, then this can be used to
establish the partial flow rate, and if not known, then
a default value of 65% of design maximum is
suggested as“a realistic mean annual value for normal
comfort ventilation.
Additional design criteria are defined for the
equipment: - for SFP at 25% of maximum duty to be
no more than that at full speed; provision of variable
speed drives for fans with motors of over 1100W; and
for the enclosure leakage grade to be L2 as defined in
BS EN 1886:2007 Ventilation for buildings - Air
handlingunits- Mechanicalperformance.
Ducting leakage standards are also defined.
Minimum control packages are suggested for each
system type,and it is stated that Heat recovery devices
should be included where supply and extract
ventilation systems include heating and/or cooling.
PART F – BUILDINGS OTHERTHAN DWELLINGS
Almost in complete contrast to the extreme detail
given concerning residential ventilation systems,
Approved Document F sets out guidance for the
following non-domestic buildings – offices, car parks
&“other” building types.
General guidance is given on indoor air quality criteria
to facilitate the development of alternative ventilation
solutions (from first principles).
Guidance is given on provision for maintenance access,
and the necessity to ensure the cleanliness of
ventilation systems and the security of a clean fresh
air supply for the protection of occupant health.
For office ventilation (for which a considerable amount
of technical research exists) several outline methods
are proposed for system design.
Alternative approaches (including natural and mixed
mode ventilation) are referred to via the appropriate
CIBSE guides.
For Car Parks, including those below ground simple
criteria are expressed for the provision of adequate
ventilation by means of accurate Carbon Monoxide
level control. Although not referred to in ADF, CO
based ventilation alone may not control visual
contamination levels,particularly where diesel engined
vehicles predominate.
Approved Document B is also very relevant to car parks
and should be cross referenced.
An alternative approach using natural ventilation
openings is given, and also mechanical systems with
simple air change rate limits are described, and
references given to additional sources of guidance.
For“other”buildings,Table 6.3 details an extensive list
of reference documents covering the ventilation
requirements of a wide range of buildings.

SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
Compared to most other types of buildings, schools
and hospitals are extreme environments. They have
high occupancy levels and house many different
activities and functions within them. Areas include
offices, classrooms/study areas, canteens, commercial
kitchens and accommodation – a great mix and more
varied than most buildings.
Part F of the Building regulations applies to schools.
Ventilation provisions in schools can be made in
accordance with the guidance in DfES Building Bulletin.
BB101 exists as a complete design guide to ventilation
in schools, covering design rules for natural and
mechanical ventilation systems and concepts involved.
All major school building projects must now undergo
formal environmental assessment using the Building
Research Establishment’s environmental assessment
method BREEAM schools and the application of new
building regulations should reduce carbon emissions
significantly.
HOSPITAL BUILDINGS
Nuaire has been supplying ventilation systems to
hospitals for many years and are aware of the issues for
ventilating clinical environments.
Health Technical Memorandum 03-01 ‘specialised
ventilation in healthcare premises’ (published in two
parts):
i part A deals with the design and installation of
ventilation systems
ii part B covers operational management.
The guidance applies to new installations and major
refurbishments of existing installations.
The above memorandum also includes a revision to
reflect current guidance on theatre suite layout and
room sizes whilst including other key issues such as:
Issues relating to patient comfort and the prevention
of health care associated infections.Specialist systems
play important roles in these areas.
• Methods of controlling the casual exposure of staff
to anaesthetic substances
• The design and acceptance testing of general and
ultra-clean ventilation (UCV) systems.
• Setting out the minimum requirements for the design
of air-handling units with the regards to the control
of Legionella and other dangerous contaminants,and
safe access for routine inspection and maintenance.

NUAIRE PRODUCTS
ACOUSTIC GUIDELINES
IT IS AT LEAST TEN TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE
TO CORRECT AN ACOUSTIC PROBLEM
THAN TO PREVENT IT.
These laboratory test standards are designed to
provide a consistent test method and which to a
limited extent that simulate the ways that a fan
may be used in a variety of installations.
Nuaire generally quote the noise levels separately
for the unit inlet, outlet and casing radiated (or
breakout) sources, to enable the system designer
to properly evaluate the product in the application.
The noise level measured on site, for example
during the commissioning process, is the sound
pressure level – and this cannot be directly
compared with the sound power levels quoted in
our fan selection tools (Nuaire catalogue and Fan
Selector).
Nuaire typically also quote a free field dBA level at
3m, and this figure, whilst useful for comparison
with other products, has a very specific definition –
and cannot be used for acoustic design purposes.
The dBA@3m figure quoted will never correspond
to a dBA measurement taken at 3m from a product
in a real building.
Acoustics is a complicated subject and must be
treated with caution as part of the services design
process. Our sales engineers and technical support
staff will often be able to offer advice on
appropriate product types for an application, but it
is often necessary to refer to acoustic specialists for
a definitive design solution.
Nuaire have put together the following bullet
points for your information and assistance :-
SYSTEM DESIGN – GENERAL AND COMMON
SENSE ISSUES
• Position the fan for minimum noise impact
• Position grilles and diffusers for minimum noise
impact
• Design the system for low pressure drop and
smooth air flow = low velocity ducting and grilles
etc.
• Where appropriate, use barriers and enclosures of
a suitable specification – ensuring that they are
properly installed (eg ceiling tiles and bulkheads).
Special acoustic grade materials are generally
available, and the first principle is to add mass to
the system – eg layers of plasterboard.
• Use appropriately specified attenuators and Anti-
Vibration mounts – again - properly installed and
not bridged to the support structure.
• Flexible or lightweight supporting structures, or
slow running fans, can require higher levels of
mechanical isolation, and this can only be
achieved with high deflection spring type mounts.
• Flexible Connectors are often a particular source of
breakout noise – if they must be used in sensitive
areas, then an acoustic grade should be specified.
• Single skinned rectangular attenuators can also be
vulnerable to breakout at the fan connection –
consider this carefully in your specification.
Ideally, use attenuators that have been specified
with breakout protection, and fit the flexible
connectors at inlet attenuator entry and outlet
attenuator exit. Any deviation from a straight
inlet/outlet condition, whether by crumpled
flexible connectors, bends, or offset transformation
pieces, will lead to an increase in the quoted in-
duct noise levels.
• Specify the correct duty with minimal allowances
- and commission the systems properly.
As a very rough “rule of thumb”, due to the
combined effects of an acoustic room property
known as“directivity” and a distance correction for
a real room situation, it is possible that the dBA
level measured in a room with a ceiling void
mounted fan above it, can be increases of 8-9 dBA
up to 14 dBA higher than the Free Field figure.
In general terms, a specification of NR 35 or 40 dBA
represents a very acceptable level for most people
in an office environment.
A requirement to achieve levels of NR 30 or 35 dBA
or less in a working space, can be considered as
challenging, and may require specialist acoustic
assistance. At the very least, with such a
specification, the acoustic requirements should be
a major design consideration.
Designated “Quiet” areas and bedrooms will need
to operate at these levels and preferably lower.
A final note: It is at least ten times more expensive
to correct an acoustic problem than prevent it.

(g) whether the customer has any particular temperature requirement for the
building
The table of recommended ACH given in information leaflets, and the more
extensive and detailed list given for different types of rooms and buildings is
based on a combination of practical experience and theory, and can safely be
used as a guide for all normal conditions in this country.

Comfort Noise Levels:
Recommended maximum background noise levels for:
• very quiet rooms, eg concert halls, sound studios NR20
• quiet rooms, eg bedrooms, theatres, churches NR25
• private rooms, eg small offices, libraries, living rooms NR30
• public rooms, eg general offices, classrooms, small shops NR35

Intelligibility of telephone conversations at background noise levels of:
• up to NR50 Satisfactory
• up to NR60 Slightly difficult
• up to NR75 Difficult
• up to NR75 Unsatisfactory
AIR CHANGE RATINGS
The simplest method of determining the ventilation rate required is to make
use of the accumulated experience of the industry expressed in a table of air
change rates.
The volume in cubic metres (m3) of the space to be ventilated is calculated
and multiplied by the number of air changes per hour to give the ventilation
rate in the m3 per hour. Division by 3.6 converts this to litres per second.
Ventilation rate (litres/s) = Volume (m3) x air changes per hour

RULES OF THUMB FOR AIR TIGHTNESS
The Building Regulations require all commercial and industrial buildings with a
gross floor area greater than 500m2
to be tested for air tightness to a minimum
standard of 10m3/h.m2
at 50 Pascals.
Note that many passive and low energy comfort control systems, such as
Termodeck, require values of fabric airtightness considerably better than
required by the Building Regulations for them to perform optimally.

  • 7. SIMPLE, PRECISE COMMISSIONING As recommended in Part L, Ecosmart enables the system to be accurately commissioned via an integrated speed control, minimum and maximum speeds easily adjusted via commissioning panel integral to the control. QUIETER SYSTEMS With Ecosmart your system is only at maximum design duty when absolutely necessary.The noise levels within your systems are lower because the fans or air handling units are rarely at full speed. IMPROVED LIFECYCLE Ecosmart enables the fan or air handling unit to be run at lower speeds.This reduces the maximum load and wear and therefore increases the overall working life of the units. DEMAND VENTILATION Only ventilates the area when you want it to - why fully ventilate a room when it’s not occupied - maximum savings possible achieved. HEALTHY ATMOSPHERE Ecosmart has a trickle function as standard which when activated, via a simple switch, enables you to set a background ventilation rate, keeping the rooms fresh when unoccupied, whilst still saving energy. System will boost or ramp to maximum design duty when triggered by an Ecosmart or other external device. Ecosmart has a 5 year warranty.

  • 13. 029 2085 820014 NATURAL VENTILATION - SAVING MONEY COMES NATURALLY Intelligent all-year-round ventilation. A-Series e-stacks: innovative low energy approach for buildings where rooms are connected to a central atrium. S-Series e-stacks: Suited to spaces with higher heat gains and for rooms with more than 35 occupants, such as halls and theatres. R-Series e-stacks: Designed specifically for rooms occupied by 10 to 35 people, ideal for classrooms and offices. F-Series e-stacks: Designed for spaces which have access to the external wall and where sloping roofs are used for high level windows. By employing upward displacement in the summer and a patented mixing mode solution in the winter,e-stack uses natural ventilation to reduce CO2 levels and energy bills while helping to maintain a constant room temperature, enabling occupants to work more efficiently and more healthily. . IN SUMMER Natural displacement ventilation can be utilised allowing opening windows/louvres to provide make up air for the natural stack effect through the e-stack unit. This can be boosted in very high temperatures to purge the rooms and return the space to a comfortable level. In night cooling mode the system allows cool air in through the e-stack unit to take advantage of the thermal mass and again can be boosted to provide additional supply air and cooling. IN WINTER Fresh air is allowed to enter the space via the divided shaft in the e-stack unit where it is mixed with warm room air in the mixing box section. The mixed air is then distributed in to the space at the desired temperature avoiding cold drafts by constantly measuring internal and external temperatures. The remaining warm stale air is allowed to rise from the space to the atmosphere.Internal CO2 sensors ensure the system operates within building regulations 365 days a year. The combination of natural ventilation and mixed mode systems ensure ideal room conditions for the occupants 365 days a year by intelligently monitoring and controlling the ventilation system.We believe that using this combination you can create environments that are perfectly suited for all applications and buildings.

  • 14. 15nuaire.co.uk The state-of-the-art hi-tech hub which was designed byAtkins and installed by Interserve,encompasses 14 laboratories, four ICT suites, 30 teaching spaces, and associated administration and ancillary features, spanning in total 6,500m2 . The hub’s main atria provides an avenue between two teaching blocks and is a weatherised space serviced by low velocity fans. Mechanical ventilation housed in the buildings’ roof voids includes stacked Xboxer heat recovery, while Through a combination of passive and assisted night cooling as well as controlled daytime ventilation rates, the peak internal temperature observed was 27.5ºC even when external temperatures exceeded 29ºC (BB101 allows up to 120 hours over 28ºC, and a peak temperature of 32ºC). As you would expect in summer, CO2 levels remained well below those required to meet BB101. Additional savings were observed in winter due to the heat gains in the space being used to temper incoming air in a reliable, controllable manner. The limited amount of thermal mass available for temperature buffering was maximised, and the low constant pressure twin fans were chosen to aid ventilation in other areas including ICT suites, toilets and administrative facilities. A series stacks situated on the roofs are served by shafts taken through the building, which serve all classrooms and laboratories, delivering fresh air efficiently and quietly to ensure that students and staff are not disturbed during lesson time. Both the natural and mechanical systems are designed to work throughout the year. energy fans in the units were only activated when the internal spaces benefitted from increased airflow through the rooms. This low energy mixing negates the need for preheating of air, which causes many naturally ventilated buildings to actually consume more energy than their mechanically ventilated counterparts. In fact, space heating is only required for pre-heating prior to occupancy, and in the coldest weather. Asbuildingsbecomeincreasinglywellinsulatedandair- tight,the e-stack system becomes an ever-increasingly attractive option from an energy perspective.

  • 17. 029 2085 820018 A GUIDE TO COMMERCIAL BUILDING SERVICES LEGISLATION BUILDING REGULATIONS PART L2 (CONSERVATION OF FUELAND POWER IN NON-DOMESTIC DWELLINGS) EFFECTIVE FROM OCTOBER 2010 The new part L2 Part A for new buildings and Part B for work on existing buildings came into force in October 2010. To fall in Line with the EU Energy Performance in Buildings Directive (EPDB), the new L2 2010 , Part F (Northern Ireland – update due 2012) and the Technical Handbook - Section 6 (Scotland) 2011 documents require a major change in the way buildings are to be assessed for compliance with energy efficiency and carbon emission standards. The new approach taken is to compare the CO2 emissions for the actual building (Building Emission rate – BER) with those of a notional building of the same size and shape, and constructed to a concurrent specification laid down in the National Calculation Methodology (NCM) – the approved procedure for demonstrating compliance with the UK building regulations – (Target Emission rate –TER). This approach has been adopted because of the variations in improvement potential across a variety of building types.Extensive research was carried out into the main building categories,and appropriate levels of CO2 emission reductions were identified based on the cost of achieving them in the various building types. When factored together with the likely build mix and build rates, the aggregate CO2 emissions reduction over 2006 emissions rates is 25 %. Part L requires a reasonable provision for the conservation of fuel and power in buildings by: a.limiting heat gains and losses: i. through thermal elements and other parts of the building fabric: and; ii. from pipes,ducts and vessels used for space heating and space cooling and hot water services: b. providing and commissioning energy efficient fixed building services that are fitted with effective controls and; c. providing the building owner with sufficient information about the building and the fixed building services and their maintenance requirements, to allow their efficient operation. Approved Documents offer technical guidance on means of compliance with the Buildings regulations. They are not intended to represent the only methods available,but they do provide reference points that are useful in the practical process of compliance. If the guidance is followed, there is a presumption that the compliance requirements will be met. Approved Document Part L2A covers work on new non-domestic buildings and major extensions to existing non-domestic buildings – i.e. where the additional useful floor area is greater than 100m2 and 25% of the original building’s floor area. Approved Document Part L2B addresses works on existing buildings including extensions (smaller than those mentioned above), change of building use, provision or extension of controlled services and fittings, replacement of thermal elements and consequential improvements.The latter being general fabric or services upgrades triggered by a complex set of criteria related to intended works. The new regulations require the submission of a checklist that demonstrates that compliance has been met against five defined criteria.These criteria are detailed inApproved Document L2A. Criteria1 is mandatory and refers directly to Building regulation 17C.Criteria 2-5 are considered as guidance. Criteria Main Points 1. The Building emission rate (BER) must be less than the Target emissions rate (TER) as calculated under the approved methodology. 2. The performance of the building fabric and heating, hot water and fixed lighting systems should achieve reasonable overall standards of energy efficiency.To avoid a situation where poorly performing systems or construction details are compensated for by other means, limits on design flexibility are imposed for building fabric and services.For building services,this includes the use of appropriate controls,equipment with minimum efficiency levels (verified by testing to acceptable standards) see “Associated Documents” below, and appropriate levels of metering and monitoring.
  • 18. 19nuaire.co.uk 3. The building shall be provided with appropriate passive control measures to limit solar gains – to reduce the need for, or capacity of air conditioning systems. (note that compliance with the suggested assessment method does not imply that acceptable levels of comfort will be achieved in the space. 4. The performance of the building, as built, is consistent with the BER. Credits are given in the emissions calculation procedures where this can be demonstrated. Particular attention is required to building air-tightness, where extensive guidance exists and to the continuity of thermal insulation, for which it is suggested that reference be made to accredited construction details and third party verification of design detail. Building services are required to be commissioned effectively (where possible) according to the approved procedures in CIBSE guide M – Commissioning Management. Documentary evidence of the use of the approved procedure is required for Building Control to issue a final compliance certificate. Air leakage testing of ductwork may be required, depending on the classification claimed in the BER calculation. 5. The necessary provisions for energy-efficient operation of the building are put in place.This is best achieved by using the guidance in CIBSE TM31 – Building Log Book toolkit. Information on the building services equipment may be cross referenced to the specification documentation and the manufacturers’ operation and maintenance manuals. Data used to calculate the TER and BER should be included in the Log Book along with the recommendations for improvements that are generated by the assessment software package used. ASSESSMENTTOOLS - SOFTWARE Thecarbonemissionscalculationmethodologyrequired when generating the BER, TER and the compliance checklist, is implemented in the Simplified Building Energy Model (SBEM) with its user interface - iSBEM – freely obtainable from the National Calculation Methodology web site.Local authorities are authorised to accept calculations only from persons deemed by Building Control Bodies as suitably competent. Several dynamic thermal modelling software tools have also been approved for the purpose of assessment and are commercially available, and offer additional functionality. Note that it is required to provide Building Control with the design based TER / BER calculations, together with details of the building specifications upon which they have been based, prior to the commencement of construction works. At the end of construction, calculations based on the completed design, and details of changes in construction method or specification must also be submitted. ASSOCIATED DOCUMENTS Because of the large amount of technical data and information that is now required to prove compliance with the Building Regulations, and the relative inflexibility of theApproved document as a design tool, it has become necessary to refer to additional documentation for much of the technical detail.These associated documents again offer guidance on requirements without necessarily providing absolute limits of performance.In many cases,reference is made to a wide variety of relevant harmonised European technical standards that exist to support the important EU directives such as the Energy performance in Buildings Directive, and the Energy Using / Energy Related Products Directive. For building services products, the Non Domestic Building Services Compliance Guide describes performance standards for the majority of equipment types that are encountered in current designs, including heating, cooling, hot water, pipe and duct insulation,lighting,pumping and,of most relevance to Nuaire products – Section 10: Air Distribution systems. This guidance considers the following system types :- Central air conditioning systems, central mechanical ventilation systems with heating, cooling or heat recovery, all“other” central systems, zonal supply and extract systems where the fan is remote from the zone and ducting is required – for example in a ceiling void or on the roof, and local systems serving one room directly (un-ducted) such as a window mounted fans. The principal means of efficiency regulation for ventilation systems is the use of limiting Specific Fan Power (SFP). As a straight-forward, easily calculated location and duty specific measure, this single figure reference effectively combines the actual efficiency rating of the product,and the adequacy of the actual system design. Calculated as the mains delivered power (W) divided by the system delivered airflow (l/s),the guide provides SFP limits for each system type. The variations shown are related to assumptions made abouttheefficienciesoftheavailableimpellers/motors /drives employed,and the aerodynamic resistances of the internal components – for example coils and filters – within air handling units, and of the distribution ductwork etc.
  • 19. 029 2085 820020 Additional SFP allowances are given for various system elements. Some of the application classes defined are extremely tightly specified in this regard, and this leads to a situation where fan types that may have practical benefits (for example in acoustic properties) cannot be used. There are practical limits to the efficiency of commercially available components, and this will ultimately constrain the types of distribution systems that may be used in terms of the operational system resistance. The latest edition of the Scottish Technical handbook Section 6, includes limiting values for external system resistance (this was also planned for the England and Wales version, but deleted late on in the process). The guide very clearly states (10.3 KeyTerms) that the specific fan power of an air distribution system should be calculated according to the procedure given in BS EN 13779 2007 Annex D:- Ventilation for Non- residential buildings – Performance requirements for ventilationandroomconditioningsystems. This important and informative standard describes in Annex D: - the SFP value for the entire building, defined as the weighted average of the SFPE values of individual units and fans. For variable air volume flow systems,the SFPE shall be defined at a partial operating air flow and related external pressure drop - specified for the fan or air handling unit. If the operating profile (of flow rate with respect to time) of the unit is known, then this can be used to establish the partial flow rate, and if not known, then a default value of 65% of design maximum is suggested as“a realistic mean annual value for normal comfort ventilation. Additional design criteria are defined for the equipment: - for SFP at 25% of maximum duty to be no more than that at full speed; provision of variable speed drives for fans with motors of over 1100W; and for the enclosure leakage grade to be L2 as defined in BS EN 1886:2007 Ventilation for buildings - Air handlingunits- Mechanicalperformance. Ducting leakage standards are also defined. Minimum control packages are suggested for each system type,and it is stated that Heat recovery devices should be included where supply and extract ventilation systems include heating and/or cooling. PART F – BUILDINGS OTHERTHAN DWELLINGS Almost in complete contrast to the extreme detail given concerning residential ventilation systems, Approved Document F sets out guidance for the following non-domestic buildings – offices, car parks &“other” building types. General guidance is given on indoor air quality criteria to facilitate the development of alternative ventilation solutions (from first principles). Guidance is given on provision for maintenance access, and the necessity to ensure the cleanliness of ventilation systems and the security of a clean fresh air supply for the protection of occupant health. For office ventilation (for which a considerable amount of technical research exists) several outline methods are proposed for system design. Alternative approaches (including natural and mixed mode ventilation) are referred to via the appropriate CIBSE guides. For Car Parks, including those below ground simple criteria are expressed for the provision of adequate ventilation by means of accurate Carbon Monoxide level control. Although not referred to in ADF, CO based ventilation alone may not control visual contamination levels,particularly where diesel engined vehicles predominate. Approved Document B is also very relevant to car parks and should be cross referenced. An alternative approach using natural ventilation openings is given, and also mechanical systems with simple air change rate limits are described, and references given to additional sources of guidance. For“other”buildings,Table 6.3 details an extensive list of reference documents covering the ventilation requirements of a wide range of buildings.

  • 20. 21nuaire.co.uk SCHOOL BUILDINGS. Compared to most other types of buildings, schools and hospitals are extreme environments. They have high occupancy levels and house many different activities and functions within them. Areas include offices, classrooms/study areas, canteens, commercial kitchens and accommodation – a great mix and more varied than most buildings. Part F of the Building regulations applies to schools. Ventilation provisions in schools can be made in accordance with the guidance in DfES Building Bulletin. BB101 exists as a complete design guide to ventilation in schools, covering design rules for natural and mechanical ventilation systems and concepts involved. All major school building projects must now undergo formal environmental assessment using the Building Research Establishment’s environmental assessment method BREEAM schools and the application of new building regulations should reduce carbon emissions significantly. HOSPITAL BUILDINGS Nuaire has been supplying ventilation systems to hospitals for many years and are aware of the issues for ventilating clinical environments. Health Technical Memorandum 03-01 ‘specialised ventilation in healthcare premises’ (published in two parts): i part A deals with the design and installation of ventilation systems ii part B covers operational management. The guidance applies to new installations and major refurbishments of existing installations. The above memorandum also includes a revision to reflect current guidance on theatre suite layout and room sizes whilst including other key issues such as: Issues relating to patient comfort and the prevention of health care associated infections.Specialist systems play important roles in these areas. • Methods of controlling the casual exposure of staff to anaesthetic substances • The design and acceptance testing of general and ultra-clean ventilation (UCV) systems. • Setting out the minimum requirements for the design of air-handling units with the regards to the control of Legionella and other dangerous contaminants,and safe access for routine inspection and maintenance.

  • 21. 029 2085 820022 All Nuaire products are tested in accordance with UK, European and International industry Standards for performance and sound levels. NUAIRE PRODUCTS ACOUSTIC GUIDELINES IT IS AT LEAST TEN TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE TO CORRECT AN ACOUSTIC PROBLEM THAN TO PREVENT IT. These laboratory test standards are designed to provide a consistent test method and which to a limited extent that simulate the ways that a fan may be used in a variety of installations. Nuaire generally quote the noise levels separately for the unit inlet, outlet and casing radiated (or breakout) sources, to enable the system designer to properly evaluate the product in the application. The noise level measured on site, for example during the commissioning process, is the sound pressure level – and this cannot be directly compared with the sound power levels quoted in our fan selection tools (Nuaire catalogue and Fan Selector). Nuaire typically also quote a free field dBA level at 3m, and this figure, whilst useful for comparison with other products, has a very specific definition – and cannot be used for acoustic design purposes. The dBA@3m figure quoted will never correspond to a dBA measurement taken at 3m from a product in a real building. Acoustics is a complicated subject and must be treated with caution as part of the services design process. Our sales engineers and technical support staff will often be able to offer advice on appropriate product types for an application, but it is often necessary to refer to acoustic specialists for a definitive design solution. Nuaire have put together the following bullet points for your information and assistance :- SYSTEM DESIGN – GENERAL AND COMMON SENSE ISSUES • Position the fan for minimum noise impact • Position grilles and diffusers for minimum noise impact • Design the system for low pressure drop and smooth air flow = low velocity ducting and grilles etc. • Where appropriate, use barriers and enclosures of a suitable specification – ensuring that they are properly installed (eg ceiling tiles and bulkheads). Special acoustic grade materials are generally available, and the first principle is to add mass to the system – eg layers of plasterboard. • Use appropriately specified attenuators and Anti- Vibration mounts – again - properly installed and not bridged to the support structure. • Flexible or lightweight supporting structures, or slow running fans, can require higher levels of mechanical isolation, and this can only be achieved with high deflection spring type mounts. • Flexible Connectors are often a particular source of breakout noise – if they must be used in sensitive areas, then an acoustic grade should be specified. • Single skinned rectangular attenuators can also be vulnerable to breakout at the fan connection – consider this carefully in your specification. Ideally, use attenuators that have been specified with breakout protection, and fit the flexible connectors at inlet attenuator entry and outlet attenuator exit. Any deviation from a straight inlet/outlet condition, whether by crumpled flexible connectors, bends, or offset transformation pieces, will lead to an increase in the quoted in- duct noise levels. • Specify the correct duty with minimal allowances - and commission the systems properly. As a very rough “rule of thumb”, due to the combined effects of an acoustic room property known as“directivity” and a distance correction for a real room situation, it is possible that the dBA level measured in a room with a ceiling void mounted fan above it, can be increases of 8-9 dBA up to 14 dBA higher than the Free Field figure. In general terms, a specification of NR 35 or 40 dBA represents a very acceptable level for most people in an office environment. A requirement to achieve levels of NR 30 or 35 dBA or less in a working space, can be considered as challenging, and may require specialist acoustic assistance. At the very least, with such a specification, the acoustic requirements should be a major design consideration. Designated “Quiet” areas and bedrooms will need to operate at these levels and preferably lower. A final note: It is at least ten times more expensive to correct an acoustic problem than prevent it.

The volume in cubic metres (m3) of the space to be ventilated is calculated and multiplied by the number of air changes per hour to give the ventilation rate in the m3 per hour.
