Traditional ventilation systems waste the valuable heat that tenants, in affordable homes are paying for — leaving both tenants and landlords exposed to rising energy costs.
Yes, those systems might reduce mould, but without meeting modern ventilation standards like Part L of the Building Regulations, they also drain valuable energy.
Imagine paying to reheat an affordable home several times a day, just because outdated ventilation systems throw away your tenants’ warm air and pull in cold air from outside.
It’s no wonder tenants switch off extractor fans and leave landlords facing bigger problems with damp, mould and non-compliance.
Our VENTO - energy-saving, Building Regulation-compliant ventilation that tenants trust to leave switched on, helping you meet Part L and Part F, and protect your assets long-term.
To protect your housing assets and meet your legal duties as a landlord you need ventilation that tenants trust to keep running, not outdated systems that waste heat and drive up energy bills in affordable homes.
Consider Blauberg Vento as a critical part of your mould risk and PAS 2035 retrofit strategy — keeping affordable homes dry, tenants protected and your investment fully compliant for the future.

How Blauberg Vento works
Blauberg Vento uses smart single-room heat recovery technology to ventilate affordable and social housing — delivering fresh air without losing valuable indoor heat.
Each Vento unit extracts stale, moisture-laden air from the room, capturing and recycling the heat before it can be wasted.
Fresh air from outside then passes through the system, picking up the recovered heat before entering the home — keeping indoor spaces warm, dry and healthy without extra heating costs.
The system works on a push-pull cycle, alternating between extract and supply modes.
This “alternate flow” design means every few minutes, the airflow reverses, continuously recovering heat while ensuring a steady supply of fresh air.
It’s a simple, proven method that cuts condensation, prevents mould and saves up to 85% of the heat energy usually lost through traditional extractor fans — all without the need for windows to be opened or expensive energy wasted.
Vento delivers fresh, filtered, comfortable air — and does it without draining your tenants' wallets or risking damage to your properties.
Whether you're upgrading affordable housing stock or planning a new social housing development, Blauberg Vento helps landlords and housing providers deliver energy-saving, PAS 2035-compliant ventilation — quickly, easily and without disruption.
We also offer free ventilation designs — making it simple to integrate Vento into your project with full technical support from the start.

1. Why do tenants in social housing and affordable homes often switch off traditional extractor fans?
Tenants often switch off extractor fans because traditional ventilation systems waste significant heat by expelling warm indoor air and bringing in cold air from outside.
This constant loss of heat leads to higher heating costs, causing tenants in affordable housing to avoid using ventilation to save money.
Additionally, traditional extractor fans can be noisy, further discouraging tenant use. By switching these systems off, tenants unknowingly contribute to increased risks of mould, damp, and condensation, negatively impacting their living conditions and landlord compliance.
2. What is the best ventilation system for social housing and affordable homes?
The best ventilation solution for local authorities and housing associations is the Blauberg Vento system.
This advanced ventilation system recovers up to 85% of heat normally lost by traditional systems, significantly lowering heating costs and improving overall energy efficiency.
Blauberg Vento not only conserves heat but also effectively prevents mould, damp, and condensation.
This ensures healthier, more comfortable living environments, while also enabling landlords to comply easily with regulations like Awaab's Law and Building Regulations (Part F and Part L).
3. How can landlords comply with Awaab's Law and Building Regulations?
Landlords can achieve compliance with Awaab's Law and Building Regulations by installing Blauberg Vento ventilation systems, which feature built-in data logging for up to seven years. This allows easy demonstration of ongoing compliance, ensuring protection against tenant complaints and regulatory penalties.
Furthermore, the advanced reporting capabilities of Blauberg Vento simplify proof of compliance, allowing landlords to confidently meet the strict requirements of Awaab’s Law and maintain high-quality housing standards without disruption.
4. Is retrofitting ventilation disruptive to tenants?
Retrofitting ventilation with Blauberg Vento is specifically designed to minimise tenant disruption. Installation can typically be completed within a single day, eliminating the need to decant tenants or cause prolonged inconvenience.
This streamlined retrofit process allows landlords to quickly improve housing conditions and achieve regulatory compliance without negatively affecting tenants’ daily routines. The ease and efficiency of installation make it an ideal choice for social housing environments.
5. How do you prevent mould and damp in social housing?
Preventing mould and damp in social housing is effectively managed with Blauberg Vento ventilation. This system continuously recycles indoor heat while supplying fresh air, significantly reducing moisture levels and eliminating conditions that lead to mould and condensation.
Moreover, Blauberg Vento's consistent ventilation maintains healthier indoor air quality, protecting tenants' health and helping landlords maintain their properties in compliance with stringent housing regulations.
6. Can I trial Blauberg Vento before full installation?
Yes, Blauberg offers a risk-free trial installation for local authorities and housing associations. Starting with a single property allows you to experience firsthand the benefits of reduced heating costs, improved air quality, and simpler compliance management.
This trial approach lets you evaluate the system’s performance and tenant satisfaction before committing to wider implementation, ensuring your investment delivers proven value and meets specific housing needs.

Blauberg also provides comprehensive installation training and technical support, ensuring a smooth and compliant installation process regardless of your choice of installers. This flexibility ensures high-quality outcomes tailored to your specific needs.
8. How does a single room heat recovery ventilation system work?
Heat recovery ventilation systems like Blauberg Vento operate using an innovative push-pull cycle. The system extracts stale indoor air, captures the heat, and then transfers this warmth to fresh outdoor air entering the property.
This continuous cycle effectively recycles heat, drastically reducing energy waste and maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures. The system’s alternating airflow design ensures constant fresh air circulation, significantly reducing the risk of mould, dampness, and condensation in homes.
9. What is PAS 2035 compliance for housing ventilation retrofits?
PAS 2035 is a quality standard that ensures energy efficiency, sustainability, and reliability in housing retrofit projects. Compliance with PAS 2035 indicates that a retrofit solution is robust, effective, and designed to significantly improve housing standards.
Blauberg Vento meets PAS 2035 requirements, providing landlords with reliable, high-performance ventilation solutions that enhance housing conditions, achieve regulatory compliance, and improve overall energy efficiency without the need for tenant relocation.
10. How do local authorities and housing associations verify compliance with ventilation regulations?
Landlords, local authorities and housing associations can easily verify compliance with ventilation regulations by accessing detailed performance reports from Blauberg Vento systems via secure Bluetooth connectivity. This provides comprehensive, real-time data logging, demonstrating continuous adherence to Awaab's Law and relevant housing standards.
The convenience of remote reporting means landlords, local authorities and housing associations can efficiently monitor performance without entering tenant properties, streamlining compliance management and safeguarding tenant privacy and comfort.
