Sufficient extract ventilation is required to internal kitchens, bathrooms, and WCs. Where a kitchen is not separated from a habitable room by a close fitting door, the extract ventilation shall be located immediately adjacent to the hob/cooker preferably via a cooker hood.
Where the extract vent isn't located immediately adjacent to the hob/cooker - it should be demonstrated that the extract system has an intermittent extract rate of NLT 60 l/s [or NLT 13 l/s when operated at high rate as a part of a continuous system].
Suggested air changes:
10 air change per hour for kitchens
3 air changes per hour for bathrooms and w.c.'s
Adequate purge ventilation shall be provided to habitable rooms in particular by the use of openable windows, the opening part should be at least 1/20th of the floor area of the room. See Part F1 Appendix B of the Building Regs Means of Ventilation. Consideration should be made for adequate through ventilation particularly where flats are back-to-back or single aspect so as to allow fresh air in the dwelling or to purge the flat of air pollutants including damp air.
All habitable rooms shall have an adequate level of natural lighting, provided via a clear glazed window or windows and/or door(s), the glazed area to be equivalent to at least 1/10th of the floor area and to extend normally to a point 1.75m above floor level. The window shall be so positioned that the light from the window is able to illuminate most of the room.
Where the design includes the use of Whole House Ventilation Systems or heat recovery systems there shall be incorporated a summertime by-pass to prevent the dwelling overheating. The 'optional' summertime by-pass shall be compulsory.
Where the habitable room contains an external door as the main provider of the purge ventilation there shall in addition be at least one openable window; the opening part of the combination of door and window should be at least 1/20th of the floor area of the room.
