Howarth Timber http://www.howarth-timber.co.uk/windows-doors don't even seem to mention supply-air windows, of which DwellVent was a part - so maybe dead and gone.
However Howarth do have a cracking new range of Scandinavian-style 3G windows (not Passivhaus grade) incl Al faced - however their quoted Uw-values are puzzlingly poor. -

I talked to them about a month ago, they were about to start another round of tests on a new bespoke 'smart vent'.
As far as I am aware they are trying to get the system optimised before launching it.
It is disappointing that the website is not updated more often, for example with the new round of testing?

Dwell-Vent have a recent newsletter on their site, not hugely informative, but signs of life nevertheless.

There is some information in this Irish Journal (ConstructIreland) about Supply Air Windows (SAWs) and the Dwell Vent initiative. From a year ago now, I just found it:
http://constructireland.ie/Articles/Design-Approaches/Limerick-convent-keeps-faith-in-green-design.html
Pages 3 and 4 have some promising remarks, and a brief description of the problems they are trying to overcome.
