Celebrate Clean Air: World Ventil8 Day & Why Ventilation Matters
Date: 8 November 2025 · Theme: “Collaborate to Ventilate”
Today, on World Ventil8 Day, we’re reminded that the quality of indoor air is as critical as the walls, floors and roof of a building. The initiative calls attention to how essential ventilation systems are for health, comfort and energy-efficiency in modern homes.
At BPC Ventilations, we believe that great ventilation isn’t just hidden ducting — it’s a key component of a comfortable, safe and sustainable living environment.
Why ventilation should be at the heart of every self-build, extension or renovation
- According to the European Ventilation Industry Association (EVIA), people spend about 90% of their time indoors — yet indoor air can be up to eight times more polluted than outside.
- Opening a window can help, but sustainable, effective ventilation systems deliver continuous fresh air renewal while safeguarding energy efficiency, reducing damp and mould risks, and improving occupant health.
- For homeowners, self-builders and renovators, integrating a well-designed ventilation system early means avoiding common mistakes such as poor air-flow, condensation issues and inefficient heating/ventilation balance.
How BPC Ventilations helps you breathe easier
- We provide expert advice on whole-house ventilation systems, heat-recovery ventilation, demand-controlled solutions and older-property retrofit ventilation.
- Our team works closely with you from the design stage through to system specification, ensuring your ventilation solution is fully compatible with your building envelope, energy targets, and indoor air quality goals.
- On World Ventil8 Day we renew our commitment to collaboration — working with homeowners, builders, architects and other trades to deliver clean-air homes.
Meet Us This Weekend at Selfbuild Extend & Renovate Live Ulster
We’re excited to announce that BPC Ventilations will be exhibiting at the Selfbuild Extend & Renovate Live Ulster 2025 event on 8-9 November 2025, held at the Eikon Exhibition Centre in Lisburn.
Why this event is a must for homeowners and renovators
- Over 150 local exhibitors, showcasing the latest in building, extending, renovating and decorating.
- Expert advice theatres, 1-2-1 consultations, “Cost Zone” features, and hundreds of new products and services under one roof.
- It’s free to attend, making it perfect for anyone starting or planning a home improvement or self-build project in Northern Ireland.
What to look out for at our stand
- Live demonstrations of ventilation systems, including how heat-recovery and demand-controlled ventilation work in real-home settings.
- Case-studies of retrofits where ventilation solved issues like damp, poor air-quality and high energy bills.
- One-to-one advice: bring your plans or ideas and let our specialists show how ventilation can be integrated seamlessly.
Tips for making the most of your visit
- Bring any sketches, plans or photos of your project so we can advise specifically.
- Prepare questions around budget, timing, planning constraints, insulation & ventilation interplay.
- Attend one of the Insight Theatres — build-industry professionals will cover trends, materials, regulations and how ventilation links through.
Linking Ventilation & Sustainable Home Projects
When you’re designing a new build, extension or renovation, ventilation should no longer be an after-thought — it must be integrated from day one:
- Energy efficiency + indoor air quality: With modern building envelopes becoming tighter, mechanical ventilation systems are often required to provide sufficient air-changes while preserving heat.
- Health & wellbeing: Good ventilation reduces indoor pollutants, mould and allergens, which contribute to respiratory issues, poor sleep and discomfort.
- Regulatory landscape: As building regulations tighten (for example in the UK & Europe), integrating ventilation and indoor-air-quality strategies early gives you a head-start.
- Value-add for homeowners: When well executed, ventilation adds value to your home — as part of comfort, performance and future-proofing.
On this World Ventil8 Day, BPC Ventilations encourages you to think beyond the obvious when it comes to your home: consider the air you live in, the comfort you deserve, and the systems that support a healthier, more efficient home.
And if you’re based in or visiting Northern Ireland this weekend, make sure to drop by Selfbuild Extend & Renovate Live Ulster. We’d love to meet you, discuss your build or renovation, and show how ventilation can be a game-changer in your project.
Let’s collaborate to ventilate — and let your home breathe.
