The Federation of Environmental Trade Associations (FETA) is the recognised UK body which represents the interests of manufacturers, suppliers, installers and contractors within the heating, ventilating, refrigeration & air conditioning industry.

Contents

Structure

It is based in Hare Hatch (in the parish of Wargrave) just off the A4, a few miles north-east of Twyford.

It is split into six principal associations

  • ADCAS - Association of Ductwork Contractors & Allied Services
  • BCIA - Building Controls Industry Association, based in Harlow, Essex
  • BFCMA - British Flue & Chimney Manufacturers Association
  • BRA - British Refrigeration Association
  • HEVAC - Heating, Ventilating & Air Conditioning Manufacturers Association
  • HPA - Heat Pump Association

    • The FETA Network

    FETA works closely with Government bodies, other Associations and organisations. It is a member of the Passive Fire Protection Federation.

    What FETA does

    Here are some of the areas that FETA was involved in recently:

  • FETA secured considerable funding from DTI to support the HEVACR 2005 productivity improvement programme for the sector until 2003
  • The FMA (Fan Manufacturers' Association) guidance note on fan installation effects, the Humidity Group Code of Practice on cold water systems and the BFCMA supplementary explanation to Part J of the Building Regulations were but three of the significant publications released in 2001.
  • The FETA marketing scholarships and HPA student awards were presented at the Annual Lunch in April, and the BRA trust for skills and training provided a range of additional awards to RAC (Refrigeration and Air Conditioning magazine) Student of the Year finalists in December.
  • Market statistics for air conditioning, air distribution and refrigeration equipment continue to be compiled.
  • International activity via the European Partnership for Energy & Environment.
  • Seminars on key topics, such as the Pressure Equipment Directive and HEVACR 2005, were provided for both members and non-members.
