This year\u2019s theme, \u201cCollaborate to Ventilate\u201d, calls on professionals and organisations to share innovations, best practices, and partnerships that improve indoor air quality worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Ventilation Is Critical<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Indoor air quality (IAQ) has been recognised as a public health priority. Poor IAQ is linked to respiratory illnesses, fatigue, and mould growth, while effective ventilation reduces pollutants, allergens, and moisture, creating safer and more comfortable environments. It also supports energy efficiency and sustainability goals by balancing airflow and reducing energy loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The 2025 Theme: Collaborate to Ventilate<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s focus is on collaboration\u2014bringing together engineers, building managers, researchers, and policy makers to champion ventilation strategies that work. From commissioning systems to meet building regulations to sharing knowledge through training and events, the aim is to ensure ventilation systems perform as intended, not just exist on paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Get Involved<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>World Ventil8 Day isn\u2019t just about awareness; it\u2019s about action. Organisations and individuals can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Share stories and resources on social media using <strong>#WorldVentil8Day<\/strong> and <strong>#Collabor8Ventil8<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attend events like the <strong>Ventil8 Day Exchange<\/strong>, which showcases practical solutions for residential and commercial ventilation challenges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Access free toolkits, posters, and guides from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldventil8day.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">worldventil8day.com<\/a> to spread the message.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attend TBPH&#8217;s <strong>Domestic Ventilation Commissioning Training<\/strong> to learn the benefits of a properly installed and commissioning ventilation system &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/tbph\/product\/ventilation-commissioning-training\/\">Find more here<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Bigger Picture<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The importance of ventilation was highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, but its benefits extend far beyond infection control. Good ventilation improves cognitive function, productivity, and overall well-being. As climate challenges and urbanisation increase, ensuring clean indoor air is not optional\u2014it\u2019s essential for health and sustainability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year on 8th November, the global built environment community celebrates World Ventil8 Day, a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":47916,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[81,185],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-48073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hub-news","category-ventilation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/tbph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/tbph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/tbph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/tbph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/tbph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=48073"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/tbph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48073\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48074,"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/tbph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/48073\/revisions\/48074"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/tbph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47916"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/tbph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=48073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/tbph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=48073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bcta.group\/tbph\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=48073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
