Low Carbon Ductwork
The first official low carbon ductwork with an international EPD (Environmental Product Declaration). Smart Vent delivers a new standard in ductwork manufacturing, combining low-carbon fabrication with real-time carbon intelligence — up to 20kg CO₂ saved per metre of ductwork, with fully measurable, project-level carbon reporting.
Construction is Under Pressure to Decarbonise
Critical elements like ductwork still lack transparency, consistency, and measurable carbon data: no standard carbon measurement, increasing regulatory pressure from UK Net Zero targets and ESG reporting, and a lack of supply chain transparency. Without accurate data, carbon cannot be reduced.
How We Do It
- Low-Carbon Manufacturing — optimised materials and fabrication processes, UK-based production, designed to reduce embodied carbon at source
- Carbon Calculation Platform — real-time carbon measurement, baseline vs low-carbon comparison, integrated into estimating and procurement
- Project-Level Reporting — full visibility across projects, supports ESG and compliance requirements, enables informed design decisions
We don't just reduce carbon — we make it measurable, reportable, and actionable.
Track. Reduce. Report.
A digital platform designed to measure and manage embodied carbon in ductwork — at design, tender, and delivery stage. Real-time carbon calculation, baseline vs low-carbon comparison, project-level reporting, and integration with estimating and procurement workflows. Carbon is no longer estimated — it's measured.
Case Study: Roosendaal Development, Netherlands
Client: Dataprojex. Sector: Data Centre. Smart Vent fabricated and installed a complete ductwork package — gas suppression extract systems, fresh air AHU ductwork into data halls, and CRAC unit ventilation systems — totalling 617 metres of ductwork (240m of 450×450mm rectangular, 89m of 3000×500mm rectangular, 288m of 315mm diameter spiral). Outcome: up to 20kg CO₂ saved per metre, a total project saving of 12.3 tonnes CO₂, full project-level carbon visibility, delivered to programme within a critical data centre environment.
Built with XCarb® Low-Carbon Steel
XCarb® is a low-carbon steel solution designed to significantly reduce CO₂ emissions during production through recycled materials and renewable energy. Smart Vent integrates XCarb® steel into ductwork manufacturing, reducing carbon at source (not just offsetting), supporting Net Zero construction targets, and providing credible, data-backed material selection.
Our Partners & Verification
XCarb® Steel, the Carbon Trust (Product Carbon Footprint methodology), Bureau Veritas (independent verification), and the International EPD® System (Environmental Product Declaration standards). Our verification process: material selection → manufacturing process → carbon calculation → independent verification → reporting & specification. Carbon data you can trust, not estimate.
Industry Collaboration
Smart Vent exhibited at Innovation Zero, the UK's largest net zero congress, and attended a CPD session at S&P UK Ventilation Systems focused on innovation, product development, and carbon reduction within ventilation systems.
