How Airex works

Airex systems combine vents that can open and close, sensors and smart algorithms to optimise airflow. It helps improve the thermal efficiency of homes whilst ensuring a healthy environment for both buildings and occupants.

  • Traditional air brick being replaced by Airex smart venilation system

    Airex vents are designed to be a like-for-like replacement for existing air bricks. They include an actuating flap which opens and closes based either on instructions form the hub or from in-built logic. Vents are standard brick sized (3"x 9") with conversion kits available for larger sized regular openings.

  • Airex smart airbrick hub being connection to the router

    Airex hubs act as a bridge between the vents and the cloud. They receive data and relay instructions to Airex vents via sub 1GHz radio and communicate with the cloud (using broadband or 4G). Hubs are mains powered and connect to routers using ethernet or WiFi.

  • Data from the Airex smart air brick ventilation system

    Data from both vents and hubs is received by Airex’s cloud control system. Based on the current conditions measured by vents and hubs as well as external weather data decisions are made as to whether to open or close vents to optimise energy efficiency, comfort and air quality.
