Supplementary Ventilation – A Requirement for Insulation Installations
If you’re eligible for insulation funding and plan to install measures like loft insulation or cavity wall insulation after July 1, 2021, it is mandatory to include supplementary ventilation as part of the installation process.
At Green Deal Centre, we ensure that all projects meet the latest building regulations and government standards. Proper ventilation is crucial for maintaining energy efficiency, protecting indoor air quality, and ensuring a safe, healthy living environment. It helps regulate airflow, manage moisture levels, and prevent issues like damp, mould, and condensation.
Installing effective ventilation systems alongside insulation promotes long-term comfort, compliance, and sustainability.
Key Benefits of Improved Ventilation in Your Home:
-
Regulates Airflow for a Healthier Home
Effective ventilation systems regulate airflow throughout your home, ensuring a constant supply of fresh air while removing stale, humid air. This balance helps maintain indoor air quality, prevents condensation and mould growth, and supports overall comfort and wellbeing. Proper airflow is especially important when insulation is added, as it keeps your home both energy-efficient and healthy.
-
Positively Impacts Health and Wellbeing
Proper ventilation plays a key role in protecting your health and wellbeing. By removing pollutants, allergens, excess moisture, and indoor contaminants, it helps reduce the risk of respiratory issues, allergies, and mould-related illnesses. When paired with effective insulation, a well-ventilated home promotes a cleaner, healthier indoor environment for you and your family.
-
Helps Regulate Indoor Temperature Efficiently
Effective ventilation supports a more stable and comfortable indoor temperature year-round. By promoting consistent airflow and reducing hot or cold spots, it works in harmony with your insulation to keep your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter. This not only enhances comfort but also boosts energy efficiency, helping you use heating and cooling systems less frequently.
-
Reduces the Risk of Condensation, Residue & Mould Growth
Proper ventilation is essential for managing moisture levels in your home. Without adequate airflow, condensation can build up on walls and windows, leading to dampness, residue, and potentially harmful mould growth. This not only damages your property but can also impact your health. Installing effective ventilation alongside insulation helps maintain a dry, safe, and healthy living environment.

Can Eliminate Musty Odours and Improve Indoor Air Quality
Poor ventilation often leads to stale, musty smells caused by trapped moisture, mould, or poor air circulation. Installing a proper ventilation system can eliminate unpleasant odours by continuously refreshing indoor air and removing moisture and pollutants. This creates a cleaner, fresher-smelling home and enhances overall indoor air quality—especially important when insulation improves your home’s airtightness.
