Air Conditioning / Mechanical Ventilation

Systems providing mechanical cooling, heating, and ventilation within a building. Split-system air conditioning units (wall-mounted fan coil units with an external condenser) are increasingly common in extensions, particularly home offices and bedrooms. Building regulations Part F requires adequate ventilation in all habitable rooms; Part L sets minimum efficiency standards for new mechanical ventilation systems.
