As stated in Part F 2009 of the building regulations a habitable room must have a background ventilator with equivalent area of 5000mm sq, this increases by 40% in the case of a house with a airtightness value lower than 5 m3 (h/m2), bringing the requirement for a habitable room to 7000mm sq for reasonably airtight homes.
