FAQs

What ventilation and air quality regulations affect self-builders?
Self-builders must comply with ventilation and air quality regulations to ensure healthy, energy-efficient homes. Key standards include Building Regulations Part F, which mandates adequate ventilation to prevent dampness and maintain air quality, and Part L, focusing on energy efficiency and heat retention. The Future Homes Standard aims to reduce carbon emissions and overheating risks.

Can I install ventilation systems myself in a self-build project?
While some ventilation components can be DIY-installed, it’s recommended to use professional installers for complete systems like MVHR or dMEV. Correct installation ensures optimal performance, compliance with Building Regulations, and warranty protection.
