Event Overview

Ventilation is a cornerstone of maintaining healthy, comfortable homes, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and under-prioritised aspects of housing management. Poor ventilation contributes to damp, mould, and poor air quality, all of which have serious repercussions for both the building and its occupants’ health. With increasing airtightness standards and shifting regulations, it's more important than ever to ensure homes are ventilated effectively and appropriately.

Join us for this essential two-part masterclass where we demystify the complexities of ventilation and provide practical insights into developing and implementing an effective ventilation strategy. These sessions are tailored for landlords, housing providers, asset managers, and repair teams looking to improve both building performance and resident well-being.

Masterclass 1: Creating a Ventilation Strategy

An effective ventilation strategy is the foundation for maintaining good indoor air quality and preventing issues like condensation and mould. This session will cover the key considerations when designing a strategy, from understanding air tightness and building regulations to aligning ventilation approaches with how homes are actually used.

Key Topics:

  • Understanding Ventilation Needs: Why ventilation is critical for health, comfort, and building performance.

  • The Balance of Airtightness and Ventilation: Designing strategies that complement modern building standards.

  • What Needs to Be Ventilated and Why: Identifying areas and activities that require prioritised ventilation.

  • Types of Ventilation Systems: Exploring mechanical, natural, and hybrid solutions to meet building needs.

  • Laying Out a Ventilation Strategy: Guidance on key headings and considerations for developing a comprehensive and actionable ventilation strategy.

  • Whole-Team Involvement: Engaging asset managers, repair teams, housing officers, and resident engagement colleagues in the process.

By the end of this session, attendees will have a clear roadmap for creating a ventilation strategy that works for their housing stock, ensuring compliance with standards while addressing real-world usage.
