HOW WE BUILD

Mechanical VENTILATION & HEAT RECOVERY (MVHR)

WHAT IS MVHR?

Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) is also known as heat recovery ventilation. It is a whole-house system that balances the air flow throughout a property. It is designed to extract the stale, moist air out of wet rooms such as the kitchen or bathrooms and at the same time, provides fresh, filtered air into the living spaces. As the stale air is extracted, the heat is recovered and transferred to the fresh, filtered air coming back into the property.

Aimed primarily at highly insulated and airtight properties, MVHR offers low-energy, forced-balanced ventilation to improve and maintain the air quality inside a property.

HOW DOES MVHR WORK?

MVHR systems work by extracting stale, moist air from wet rooms in your home such as bathrooms, shower rooms, en suites, kitchens, and utilities while simultaneously supplying fresh, filtered, and clean air to the living areas of your home.

MVHR systems recover up to 95% of normally wasted heat from the extracted air, the pipes have no cross over so there will never be a mix of airflows. The heat recovery cell recovers the heat from the extracted air and stores it to use to heat the air that is brought in from outside and into living areas.

A heat recovery system works to prevent condensation by reducing moisture build up, meaning that there is reduce risk of condensation, damp, and mould.

Improving Your Indoor Air Quality

Poor indoor air quality can be linked to sick building syndrome/toxic home syndrome, asthma, headaches, reduced productivity, and impaired learning skills. Major indoor air pollutants include: Damp and mould, asbestos, carbon monoxide, smoke, and radon - a gas that is similar to carbon monoxide as we cannot see it, but it is even more dangerous.

Indoor air quality can be up to 5 times worse than outdoor air. The majority of people consider the dangers of poor outdoor air quality, but few consider the danger of poor indoor air quality. Having poor indoor air quality can have negative effects on our health and this is why it is so important to ventilate.

Having good indoor air quality can help health conditions such as hay fever, pollen allergies and asthma as the systems filters prevent allergen particles from entering your home.
