Ventilation & Air Quality
MVHR systems provide continuous, controlled ventilation while recovering heat from extracted air. They are particularly effective in airtight buildings, where unmanaged ventilation would otherwise lead to heat loss and poor air quality.
Design focuses on airflow rates, duct routing, noise control and filtration, ensuring systems operate quietly and efficiently. Integration with heating and cooling strategies is considered from the outset to avoid conflicts and unnecessary energy use.
When properly designed and commissioned, MVHR systems significantly improve indoor air quality, humidity control and occupant comfort.
Today's homes are becoming increasingly airtight as insulation standards improve and energy efficiency becomes more important.
While this improves efficiency, it can also reduce natural airflow and increase problems such as:
- Condensation
- Humidity
- Stale air
- Overheating
- Poor indoor air quality
Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) systems help provide continuous filtered fresh air throughout the home while recovering heat from extracted air.
When properly designed and commissioned, MVHR systems can help improve:
- Indoor air quality
- Comfort
- Condensation control
- Overall living environment
Ventilation should never be considered separately from heating and insulation, as MVHR systems can significantly reduce the size and cost of any installed Heat Pump. We integrate ventilation strategies into the wider home energy system to help create balanced, comfortable homes.
