VEX is Ofacto Labs’ device for understanding mould risk over time. It tracks room conditions while we develop gas-pattern detection associated with mould. VEX 0.6 is in development.

Social housing providers, HMO operators, landlords, remediation companies and people monitoring their own homes.

Temperature and humidity, with gas sensing designed to recognise patterns associated with mould metabolism. Leak detection is also included in the planned VEX 0.6 features.

A room’s pattern of readings over time. Our AI algorithms are being developed to establish that pattern and identify meaningful changes.

That is a development goal. Earlier-detection performance and lead time are being validated; there is no guaranteed warning period.

VTT models growth risk from conditions and material properties. Gas sensing adds a different input: patterns associated with mould metabolism.

No. Readings support investigation; they do not rule out mould or override a resident’s report.

It is Ofacto’s reported result from internal differentiation and prediction tests using its own data, not independently validated field accuracy.

We are preparing independent mould assessments for the home pilot. We conduct internal laboratory testing; independent results have not yet been published.

Planned selectable options are NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Final specifications and configurations will be confirmed before launch.

VEX 0.6 is planned to be mains powered. Installation and placement requirements will be confirmed for the pilot or product you receive.

No species-identification or spore-counting capability is being claimed. The gas-sensing work focuses on patterns associated with mould metabolism.

It brings room trends, resident reports, inspections, evidence, work plans and written summaries into one property record.

No. It supports case organisation, deadlines and records. Assessment, communication and repairs remain the responsibility of landlords and qualified professionals.

The case-management approach supports other housing reports and follow-up. VEX does not detect every hazard covered by housing legislation.

The demo lets you attach sample files, choose example findings and generate an editable report. Download it to print or save as a PDF.

The website demonstrates simulations. No SMS, contractor search or call is placed from the demo. Service availability will be agreed before deployment.

The demo includes an existing-contractor option and an example contractor-matching route. Operational arrangements will be agreed with each customer.

Yes. Enter portfolio size, expected case rate and administration assumptions. The result estimates staff capacity, not guaranteed cash savings or net return.

The guidance on this site concerns England’s social rented sector. Scope differs by tenure and jurisdiction.

Extension to England’s private rented sector is planned, with timing subject to consultation. Existing housing obligations still apply.

No. Report concerns promptly. A reading should not be a barrier to an investigation.

The concern, inspection findings, work scope, dated evidence, responsible people and agreed follow-up.

No. Readings can support follow-up but do not replace an appropriate inspection or independent assessment.

We are preparing the Sheffield home pilot. You can also register interest in future locations.

VEX testing and professional mould remediation, with eligibility, access and scope agreed before participation.

Renters can register interest. We will discuss any landlord permission needed for access, installation and remediation.

Yes. Contact the team with your location, portfolio size and what you want to evaluate.

Ofacto’s developing accreditation for properties meeting its monitoring and follow-up standards. Criteria and badge-use requirements will be supplied before enrolment.

No. It communicates the monitoring and follow-up standards a property meets, not a guarantee that hazards are absent.
