Nuaire launches NICEIC training facility in north Wales decarbonisation hub
Indoor air quality and ventilation manufacturing specialist Nuaire has launched its new NICEIC approved training facility at Tŷ Gwyrddfai in Penygroes, north Wales.
Tŷ Gwyrddfai is the first decarbonisation hub of its kind and has been created to ensure that north Wales will be at the forefront of the decarbonisation agenda. The facility is a collaborative project between Adra, north Wales’ largest social housing provider; Bangor University; and Busnes@LlandrilloMenai’s Centre for Infrastructure, Skills and Technology (CIST) that manages the specialist on-site training pods at Tŷ Gwyrddfai.
In one of these new pods, Nuaire has installed a fully working MRXBOX Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system ducted to valves, to provide customers with the opportunity for hands-on domestic ventilation system training. Other Nuaire products installed within the Tŷ Gwyrddfai pod include a Drimaster-Eco Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) system for curing and preventing condensation dampness, and a Cyfan extract fan which has been specially designed for the social housing market.
The event was opened by Iwan Trefor Jones, Adra Chief executive, who introduced Adra and Tŷ Gwyrddfai, who said:
“Adra and Tŷ Gwyrddfai are proud to collaborate with a Welsh manufacturer like Nuaire. We are passionate about creating a circular economy and keeping the pound local. Nuaire, as manufacturers supplying quality products through the Ffrâm24 supply chain, will significantly enhance the homes of our tenants by enhancing air quality and controlling moisture levels. This prevents condensation, dampness, and black mould from forming, which is a crucial benefit, especially at this time of year when many of our tenants face these issues. Adra is committed to working with companies that share our values and dedication to excellence.”
The aim is that Tŷ Gwyrddfai will contribute towards reducing carbon emissions in homes which, in turn, will reduce the impact of increasing fuel and energy costs by making homes more energy efficient and improve the quality of life for residents. In the longer term, Tŷ Gwyrddfai will look to create a more qualified and skilled workforce, which will support the local construction sector and ensure that any value generated through decarbonisation and related capital investment will be retained locally.
