Airex
Improve the energy efficiency of your home with smart airflow control.
Many homes across Europe are naturally ventilated with air bricks. This airflow is essential in the home but is responsible for a large proportion of a home’s heat loss due to constantly open air bricks.
Airex has created the world’s first smart air brick to reduce the home’s energy bills, helping to end fuel poverty and climate change with a simple building retrofit.
The AirEx technology is a smart passive ventilation system that reduces heat loss while preventing damp and mould in your home. Traditional airbricks allow for airflow under suspended ground floors to stop condensation, but this can waste up to 15% of your home's energy. AirEx measures temperature and humidity using sensors and online weather data and opens to prevent damp and mould while closing to reduce heat loss and improve thermal comfort.
warmer homes
Improves thermal efficiency, so rooms warm up faster and stay warm longer.
Improved comfort
Removes unwanted draughts, improving airtightness and occupan'ts thermal comfort.
Lower energy bills
Helps homeowners save on heating bills by using 10-15% less energy.
healthy home
Ensures good air quality, mitigating the risk of condensation, timber rot and mould.
Airex Floorvent

What is a sub-floor air brick?
Air bricks are bricks with multiple holes to allow air to flow under the floor of homes with a suspended ground floor. It is essential to ventilate these underfloor cavities to stop condensation forming, which could otherwise cause mould growth or timber rot.
However, constantly open air bricks can contribute to up to 15% of the energy used to heat a home being wasted, as well as causing uncomfortable cold draughts.
How does the airex floorvent work?
The Airex brick is a smart ventilation control that replaces existing air bricks at a sub-floor level (under the floorboards). The Airex bricks have in-built sensors to measure the environmental conditions (such as temperature and relative humidity) and use smart software algorithms to automatically regulate airflow.
Each brick opens to reduce humidity and stop mould and damp and closes to reduce heat loss and improve thermal comfort.
AIREX ROOMVENT
THE SMART ROOM VENT REPLACEMENT
what is a room level air brick?
Air bricks are bricks with multiple holes to allow air to flow under the floor of homes with a suspended ground floor. It is essential to ventilate these underfloor cavities to stop condensation forming, which could otherwise cause mould growth or timber rot.
However, constantly open air bricks can contribute to up to 15% of the energy used to heat a home being wasted, as well as causing uncomfortable cold draughts.
How does airex roomvent work?
Airex Roomvent is a smart vent that replaces existing air bricks in a wall, typically within habitable rooms such as the bedroom or living room.
Airex Roomvent’s smart sensors monitor the environmental conditions and smart algorithms enable automatic air flow regulation. In addition to air temperature and humidity, the system also monitors indoor air quality, while taking into account local weather data.
The vent closes to prevent unwanted draughts and opens to ensure a healthy indoor environment. The system uses AI and learns when you are at home to maximise efficiency.
