AirEx Technologies Secures Spot in Procurement for Housing's Latest SHED Framework
AirEx Technologies announced today that AirEx Floorvent has been selected to be part of Procurement for Housing's Social Housing Emerging Disruptors (SHED) framework.
This means that our housing association and local authority customers can now easily procure AirEx directly and compliantly through the framework.
This framework, now in its third iteration (SHED3), aims to revolutionize the social housing sector by introducing innovative solutions to address emerging challenges. AirEx is among 21 suppliers to secure a coveted position on this £100 million framework. Additionally, this initiative will assist over 1,000 members of Procurement for Housing to meet the 2030 deadline for achieving EPC rating C for their collective 3.9 million homes. The SHED3 framework, administered by Procurement for Housing (PfH), serves as a vital platform for facilitating partnerships between innovative suppliers and housing providers across the UK. Through this framework, housing associations access much-needed innovative technologies and services designed to enhance the quality, sustainability, and efficiency of social housing.
We are a company dedicated to driving positive change within the social housing sector through innovative, reliable technology. AirEx is the world’s first smart air brick that helps to mitigate unnecessary heat loss by intelligently controlling airflow to prevent the constant cold draughts created by traditional airbricks. Our flagship product, AirEx Floorvent is designed to prevent heat loss through suspended floors. Often suspended timber floors are not factored into social housing retrofit measures, as traditional insulation is expensive and highly disruptive to residents. Floorvent is simple, non-disruptive to install, and a fraction of the cost of other approaches to insulating suspended timber floors.
Our advanced smart ventilation solutions offer social housing landlords and contractors a cost-effective means of preventing underfloor heat loss, reducing energy consumption, and regulating moisture levels. Installing AirEx can also help raise a home's EPC Rating, by contributing 2-4 SAP points per property.
“The SHED framework is a great example of what support for innovation looks like, with PfH actively leaning into the needs of innovators like AirEx. The result is that it will be significantly easier and quicker for our customers to buy our products to accelerate adoption and deployment in homes.”

The inclusion of AirEx in the SHED3 framework represents a significant milestone in the company's mission to contribute to energy efficiency and fuel poverty reduction in social housing. By partnering with Procurement for Housing and participating housing associations, AirEx aims to drive innovation, improve living conditions, and contribute to the creation of healthier, more energy-efficient homes for all.
