Healthy air, sustainably.
Our commitment to our purpose is integral to everything we do. It shapes our values, steers our strategy and informs our capital allocation. We are closely aligned with environmental, health, regulatory and consumer developments that are reshaping the world’s expectation of how we live life indoors.
Green Economy Mark
To qualify for the Green Economy Mark, companies must generate 50% or more of their total annual revenues from products and services that contribute to the global green economy.
Healthier spaces
In modern well-insulated and airtight buildings, good ventilation is required to ensure that we maintain a healthy indoor atmosphere. Requirements are driven by regulations.
84%
We spend over 84% of our time indoors.Build tight, ventilate right
As we decarbonise, our buildings will become more airtight with
much better insulation, all added to make our buildings more energy
efficient. However, the air inside these buildings runs the risk of
becoming full of indoor pollutants and condensation leading to
mould growth and poor health.
Making buildings healthier
“Our windows used to be completely covered in water,
but after installing the Vent-Axia PureAir Home PIV the
condensation has gone. After a while I wondered whether
the condensation had disappeared just because the weather
was warmer so I turned the unit off for a week and guess
what? – the condensation came back.”
Rob Ford, UK customer
The Vent-Axia PureAir Home is a positive pressure unit designed for easy retrofit into an existing house. It’s deigned to help reduce the condensation by helping prevent the migration of humidity around the home.
Cleaner air
Volution’s focus on low-carbon products helps reduce the energy used in buildings.
Heat recovery avoids carbon emissions
Recovering energy from the air when ventilating reduces the amount of heating or cooling needed in a building, which in turn reduces carbon emissions from the energy network.

Volution supplies products with up to 93% heat recovery.
Making buildings cleaner
“Energy efficiency is at the heart of everything we do
for our customers, so for our own new workplace, we
wanted to demonstrate the capability of today’s products
in delivering carbon neutral buildings in operation and
hopefully inspire others”.
Paul Hooker, owner and Managing Director of ECO MEP after installation of CIBSE award-winning Sentinel Apex to provide ventilation for ECO MEP’s highly efficient commercial office environment in Ashford, Kent.
The CIBSE award-winning Sentinel Apex achieves the ‘holy grail’ of delivering the highest level of indoor air quality (IAQ) and thermal comfort with the lowest energy use and ultra-low sound levels.
Comfort redefinded
Our products reduce the risk of overheating and create comfortable living environments.
Insulation and global warming will lead to overheating
Modern, well-insulated buildings, along with increasing temperatures driven
by climate change, increase the risk of overheating buildings. Regulators are
starting to increase legislation to mitigation of the risk, and specifiers are
responding by including cooling solutions into their designs. It is key, however,
that cooling is provided in the most efficient way so that emission reduction
targets can still be met. Volution has a range of products designed to do
just that.

Making buildings more comfortable
Remodelling of the Stationsstraat office building was
needed as, during the summer, temperatures above
30°C were recorded in the workplace: “We had previously
equipped a number of rooms with ClimaRad units as a pilot
and the experiences of the users were very positive. The
indoor climate was considerably improved by ventilation via
heat recovery in combination with low temperature output.”
