Complying with Building Regulations
COMPLYING WITH BUILDING REGULATIONS WHEN DESIGNING A VENTILATION
STRATEGY FOR STUDENT ACCOMMODATION AND CARE HOMES
By Colin Biggs (Nuaire Technical & Development Director) MSC.
New changes to Part L1A and B, and Part L2A and B
come into effect from 6th April 2014.
Source: www.planningportal.gov.uk/approveddocuments.
www.cibse knowledgeportal.co.uk/cibse-guides
As part of our continuous product development process, Nuaire recently carried out a survey of its customers to ascertain
the design engineer’s views on the ventilation system design requirements for Student Accommodation (SA) and Care Homes
(CH). It became apparent that there wasn’t a straight-forward answer, and in many cases engineers choose from a variety
of guidance sources for flow rates, and also between AD (Approved Document) L1 A/B and AD L2 A/B (L1 – dwellings;
L2 – non-dwellings; A – new buildings; B – existing buildings) for the energy assessment criteria on SA / CH buildings.
Faced with this ambiguity, we decided to look at the guidance in more detail and the following should provide clarification
and demonstrate how we interpret it.
ENERGY PERFORMANCE CRITERIA
Approved documents L1A / B, L2A / B Conservation of Fuel and Power.
Some of this is actually very straightforward. AD
L1A (3.1 p7) defines a Dwelling as a “selfcontained unit designed to accommodate a single
household”, and that “buildings exclusively
containing rooms for residential purposes such
as nursing homes, student accommodation and
similar are not dwellings and in such cases
Approved Document Part L2A applies”.
6
029 2085 8200
A live-work unit (AD L1A 3.3) is defined as a unit
containing both living and a space for commercial
purposes. “The whole unit should be treated as a
dwelling as long as the commercial part could
revert to domestic use”.
Mixed use developments (AD L1A 3.4) where a
dwelling exists in a larger building that contains
other types of accommodation, ADL1A should be
used for each individual dwelling. However, for the
“non-dwelling” parts, including communal lounges,
common rooms, retail or commercial spaces AD
L2A applies.
An example of this application type would be
“Extra-care” homes where each resident has their
own self-contained accommodation, and
communal spaces are provided for social activities.
Complying with Building Regulations
Typically all of these methods result in an overall
ventilation rate of approximately 0.5 air changes
per hour.
Other criteria ensure that at least 0.3 l/s per m2 of
floor area is provided, and that an additional 4 l/s
per person are provided for occupancy levels above
normal (two occupants per main bedroom and one
in each of the other bedrooms).
VENTILATION CRITERIA
Approved Document F and other guidance.
VENTILATION FOR DWELLINGS
Approved Document F1 offers a great deal of
guidance on dwelling ventilation methods and
rates as shown in Tables 5.1a and 5.1b.
The available methods are :System 1: Intermittent extract from wet rooms
(i.e. kitchen, bathroom, utility room), and
background ventilators (trickle vents).
Purge Ventilation: An additional requirement for
purge ventilation at 4 ach for each habitable room
is stipulated to “rapidly dilute pollutants and/or
water vapour”. Since the purge requirement is by
definition occasional and temporary, appropriately
sized open-able windows or manually controlled
local extract fans may satisfy this requirement.
ADF Paragraph 4.15 states that “Purge ventilation
provisions may also be used to improve thermal
comfort, although this is not controlled under the
Building Regulations”.
System 2: Extract from wet rooms using Passive
Stacks. (Trickle vents required).
System 3: Continuous extract (from wet rooms –
either using a centralised unit (MEV - Mechanical
Extract Ventilation), or several individual units
dMEV – decentralised Mechanical Extract
Ventilation). (Trickle vents required).
VENTILATION OF INDIVIDUAL STUDY /
BEDROOMS
System 4: Continuous Mechanical supply and
extract Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR).
The guidance in ADF1 offers a starting point for the
evaluation of the ventilation requirements for an
individual study / bedroom. Where provided with
an en-suite bathroom, this type of accommodation
closely equates to a small single bedroom dwelling,
and a continuous supply to bedroom / extract from
bathroom rate of 13 l/s will satisfy all general
The table below shows continuous whole dwelling
ventilation rates based primarily on the number of
bedrooms, and extract rates that “at least” match
these in normal operating mode, but with provision
to boost to a higher rate on demand.

requirements (n.b. whilst floor area and occupancy
must also be considered, the need for purge
ventilation in individual rooms with no cooking or
maintenance whilst occupied is debatable).
Approved Document Part L2A covers work on
new non-domestic buildings and major extensions
to existing non-domestic buildings i.e where the
additional useful floor area is greater than 100m2
and 25% of the original building’s floor area.
Approved Document Part L2B addresses work on
existing buildings including extensions (smaller
than 100m2 and 25% of the original building’s
floor area), change of building use, provision or
extension of controlled services and fittings,
replacement of thermal elements and
consequential improvements.
Approved Document Part L2A General Guidance
states that a Room for residential purposes is a
room, or a suite of rooms, which is not a dwellinghouse or a flat and which is used by one or more
persons to live and sleep and includes a room in a
hostel, a hotel, a boarding house, a hall of residence
or a residential home, but does not include a room
in a hospital, or other similar establishment, used
for patient accommodation.
Approved Document Part L is concerned mainly
with assessment of energy performance.
The methodology or calculation tool used for nondomestic buildings is SBEM (Simplified Building
Energy Model). SBEM makes the following
assumptions about air flow rates:- (see table
below).

Notes:
a. In addition, the minimum ventilation rate should be not less than 0.3 l/s per m2 of internal floor area. (This includes
all floors, e.g. for a two-storey building add the ground and first floor areas.)
b. This is based on two occupants in the main bedroom and a single occupant in all other bedrooms. This should be
used as the default value. If a greater level of occupancy is expected add 4 l/s per occupant.
Consideration needs to be given to the comfort
requirements of the building occupants. Care
homes for example, require a continuously warm
environment and students are not known for their
ability to consistently control the ventilation
within their rooms.

Complying with Building Regulations
Providing a mechanical centralised system would
generally ensure that the healthiest environment is
maintained. Manually opening a window would not
be seen as the most effective method particularly
for areas that have external pollution and noise.
CIBSE Guide A (Environmental criteria
for design).
Table 1.10 recommends an outdoor air supply rate
of 8 l/s per person for sedentary, occupants (e.g. in
a Care Home).
This outdoor air supply rate assumes that the
outdoor air supplied to the space is fully mixed
with the room air and should be adjusted if the
ventilation effectiveness, (see CIBSE Guide A
section 1.7.4), is expected to take a value other
than 1.
Level of smoking
Part F 1 Table 6.3 Ventilation of other buildings and
spaces states for Communal residential buildings to
refer to CIBSE Guide B:2005, Section 2.3.8. and
Good Practice Guide (GPG) 192 - Designing
energy efficient multi-residential buildings. The
latter document gives general information but was
last published in 2003.
CIBSE Guide B 2.3.8.1 - Communal residential
properties - are defined as buildings containing
separate residential units with some provision of
communal facilities. The Guide considers
residential care homes, student accommodation
and military barracks and says that ‘as with
domestic properties, effective ventilation is best
provided by reducing air leakage, extracting
moisture and pollutants at source, and providing
occupant controllable ventilation’.

SMOKING IN CARE / RESIDENTIAL HOMES
Our research has shown that it is typical for limited
smoking provision to be made for residents (not
staff) in this type of building. This being the case,
the most relevant specification data available is
offered in the Table 1.10 CIBSE Guide A.
(see table above).
Adoption of the outdoor air supply rates given will
not guarantee that non-smokers present will not
be exposed to harmful effects. Steps must also be
taken to ensure that there is no transfer of smoke
from areas in which smoking is permitted to other
areas (for example constant pressure control to
maintain a negative differential (see page 29).
The outdoor air supply rates given in Table 1.10
assume that the outdoor air supplied to the space
is fully mixed with the room air. These rates should
be adjusted if the ventilation effectiveness, see
section 1.7.4, is expected to take a value other
than 1.0.

029 2085 8200
CIBSE Guide B 2.3.8.2 Requirements – It is
stated that “Overall ventilation rates of between
0.5 and 1 air change per hour are generally
appropriate, however, where possible, residents
should be able to maintain autonomy and control
over their immediate environment”.
The degree of occupant control available must be
considered with regard to the capabilities of the
occupants. It is therefore recommended that
baseline conditions are maintained automatically,
with provision for authorised personnel to alter
conditions by a relatively small amount – or for a
limited time, before returning to default conditions.
In accordance with normal design practice, the
ventilation provision for higher occupancy zones
should be based on commercially acceptable
ventilation rates of 10 l/s per person, ideally with
demand control. For dining rooms, 1 ach is
appropriate, and for “process” (e.g. laundry,
kitchen) areas, specific design guidance should
be followed depending on the activity levels.
For example DW172 (Specification for kitchen
ventilation systems. www.hse.gov.uk) may be
suitable for larger premises with extensive
catering needs.
Provision should be made to include an
appropriate smoke control system. Approved
Document B Volume 2, addresses Fire Safety
within Buildings other than Dwelling Houses.
SUMMARY
The importance of a suitable ventilation system
should not be underestimated and there are a
number of ways the required performance
standards for ventilation can be met.
Each of these has their advantages and
disadvantages and the decision regarding which
one to implement will be based on various
criteria.
The choice to some extent will be dependent
upon whether it is a new build or refurbishment
project.
For multi-room requirements a zonal heat
recovery supply and extract unit with 80%+
efficiencies would provide the most efficient
solution. However regardless of the system
output, regular maintenance is required to
ensure the system efficiencies are maintained.

Student Accommodation
THE LAST THING ON A STUDENT’S MIND IS THE AIR QUALITY
OF THE ACCOMMODATION THEY LIVE IN!
(Model: MRXBOX95AB-WH2).
Heat recovery unit mounted in a
kitchen cupboard.
With the increase in student numbers comes the
need for student accommodation covering all types
of properties from specifically designed student
blocks through to individual refurbished houses.
Student accommodation can feature central
heating, communal lounges and kitchens, individual
bedroom/ studying areas with en-suite shower
rooms through to 4 -12 bedroom clusters.
Nuaire appreciates that Student accommodation
often requires unique solutions. With this in mind,
Nuaire has developed a wide range of ventilation
products to ensure the highest level of indoor air
quality with the lowest level of occupier interaction.
Mechanical extract with heat recovery
for ‘living’ and communal areas:
(MRXBOX95, XBC, OPUSXBOX).
Heat recovery systems offer efficiency and control
over the air quality and volume within the
accommodation. Providing tempered air into ‘living’
areas whilst extracting moisture laden air from ‘wet’
areas. Heat recovery is ideal for student and other
multi-storey accommodation.
Mechanical Extract for bathrooms, toilets and
kitchens: (Genie, XS, AVS, AVT & MEV).
Nuaire offers a wide range of extract fans for wall,
window, roof and ceiling/void applications. Fans can
be located in wet rooms, kitchens, utility areas and
roof, extracting from wet areas and kitchens whilst
providing continuous fresh air via trickle ventilators.
Constant Pressure for multi-room ventilation:
(AVT-CP, AVS-CP, XBC & BOXER Bespoke).
Why ventilate empty rooms? Constant pressure is
ideal for student accommodation. A central extract
system provides the necessary extraction, linked to
all ‘wet’ areas such as bathrooms via a central fan,
which is normally positioned on a roof and unique
direct-acting multi position CVD dampers or NRG
grilles ensures operation only when room is
occupied.
ZONAL & CENTRALISED UNITS
Ventilation control for added safety Airemiser is a temperature and/or current sensing
control device that activates an extract fan when
either a cooker, bath or shower is being used – this
is particularly useful in student accommodation
and care homes. Airemiser as part of a balanced
ventilation system will help prevent condensation
problems and can assist in the reduction of false fire
alarms (a requirement of BS 5839-1:2002 section 3).
