Is your new build house, or rental property project compliant?
The Acceptable Solution to the NZ Building Codes G4-Ventilation is now fully active. The G4 clause of the Building Code covers the mandatory extract ventilation requirements for bathrooms and kitchens. The Acceptable Solution provides the latest way of complying with the mandatory regulations for all internal wet area zone building activity requiring a building consent.
In addition, the residential tenancies Healthy Homes Standard makes it a requirement to fit extract fans in rental properties. Under these regulations rental units must have mechanical extract fans installed to remove moisture generated in bathrooms and kitchens. Extract fans (including the associated slowing effect from ducting, grilles, and cowls) must have an installed flow-rate of not less than 25 L/s for bathrooms, and 50 L/s for all kitchens with a cooktop.
Manrose has an extensive range of extract ventilation solutions available to help meet the home ventilation regulations.
To make it simple, Manrose have developed and released a new Extraction Fans Selection Guide, to supplement the helpful G4 and Healthy Homes packaging labels.
The new guideline publication clearly lays out which of the Manrose products are designed to comply with each of the 4 regulation levels defined by G4 and Healthy Homes.
The comprehensive and easy to follow Manrose Guidelines for Extraction Fan Selection can be found in branches, or under Resources on the Simx website.
