The Domestic Ventilation Installation & Commissioning course is designed for installers, engineers and building professionals who need to install, inspect, test and commission ventilation systems within domestic properties. The course provides the knowledge and practical skills required to ensure ventilation systems operate effectively and are installed in accordance with relevant Building Regulations and industry guidance.

Throughout the programme, delegates will develop an understanding of the importance of effective ventilation in maintaining indoor air quality, controlling excess moisture and reducing the risk of condensation and mould. Training covers common domestic ventilation systems, including intermittent extract fans, continuous mechanical extract ventilation and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery.

Delegates will learn how to install ventilation equipment and ductwork correctly, identify common installation defects and carry out the measurements required during commissioning. Practical training introduces the use of airflow measurement equipment and the procedures used to balance, test and record ventilation system performance.

The course also explores the relationship between ventilation, airtightness, energy efficiency and occupant comfort. Particular attention is given to achieving appropriate airflow rates while minimising issues such as excessive noise, poor ductwork installation and unnecessary system resistance.

Successful completion provides delegates with valuable competency in the installation and commissioning of domestic ventilation systems, supporting work across new-build housing, refurbishment, retrofit and energy-efficiency projects.

Why Choose This Training?

✓ Develop practical skills in domestic ventilation installation and commissioning

✓ Learn how to measure, balance and verify ventilation system airflow rates

✓ Identify common ventilation installation faults that can reduce system performance

✓ Expand your skills within the growing retrofit and energy-efficiency sectors

Career Benefits

Effective domestic ventilation is increasingly important as homes become more energy efficient and airtight. Correctly installed and commissioned ventilation helps protect indoor air quality while reducing problems associated with excess humidity, condensation and mould.

Developing competency in domestic ventilation installation and commissioning can create opportunities across new-build housing, social housing, retrofit, property maintenance and energy-efficiency projects. These skills are particularly valuable for professionals involved in whole-house retrofit where insulation and airtightness improvements must be supported by appropriate ventilation.
