White paper on meeting guidance on ventilation
» YALE DOOR AND Window Solutions has created white paper in association with the Glass and Glazing Federation ( GGF ) to raise industry awareness of the new government guidelines around trickle vents .
Kevin Jones , Technical Officer at the Glass and Glazing Federation , comments : “ The updated Building Regulations have raised many questions across the industry . It was a natural fit for two industry leading brands to come together and provide clarity for all concerned .”
Titled “ Meeting the guidance on ventilation : A guide to ensuring your windows comply with Approved Document F for air quality ”, the white paper sets out how ventilation in UK buildings is now governed by two new approved documents – ‘ Approved Document F , volume 1 : dwellings ’ and ‘ Approved Document F , volume 2 : buildings other than dwellings ’
– and presents in clear terms what these documents state .
This includes the requirements that all trickle vents should be controllable , either manually or automatically ; that they should be at least 1,700mm above floor level to reduce cold draughts while remaining within reach ; and that any trickle vents with automatic controls should also have manual override .
