UK Rewiring dog kennels need advice on extraction and ventilation

[T Wilson Elec]

Fairly straight forward one this time,

I’ve recently been to a protection dog training place and got the old megger out long story short the megger wasn’t out long and a full rewire is on the cards

I’m sound with everything for the design that’s not the issue, just trying to figure out the vent and extraction side the kennels are In blocks as follows

A 8 kennels
B 9
C 3 and 2
D 6
E external kennels so not worried

looking for Anyone with solid advice as I’m stumped

so I'm I , post a design up so we can see what is feasible.

Have the kennels already got a supply + extract system?
If not have you been asked to install it?

Is it the design of the H&V that's the issue, if so it needs someone onsite with the knowledge to design and install such a system?
It won't be just a case of wacking in 28 extract fans.

the only way is to get a h& v company in to advise .

I’ll have to get back to you with that one when little mans asleep nearly finished plans of the place but 2 year old and iPad is not a fun game

Fair enough I’m way out my depths on this issue first time I’ve come across it on my own and there is nothing in worth mentioning ( 2 x inline fans screwed to the wall near the door)

You might have to ask around for H&V folk who do work on farms, vets, etc, as I have no idea what sort of ventilation rates are needed for animal enclosures. I expect they are much the same as for us 2-legged animals, but it might be very different!

As above, speak to a dedicated HVAC company, also seek advise from local authority as the premises will be a licensed premises of sorts, there may be guidance on/around the Animal Boarding Establishments Act 1963 and it's modern-day counterpart; The Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving
Animals) (England) Regulations 2018. Specifically around air changes, temperature and circulation.

Local authorities often have guidance documents, I know Wigan & Glamorgan have one for this specifically. (Search 'dog kennel Ventilation requirements' and it's results 4 and 10 respectively), you may also find DEFRA useful if you're really stuck.
