Benefits of a heat recovery ventilation system
- provides a controlled, continuous, fresh atmosphere throughout the building
- prevents damp and mould growth by removing moist, stale air
- minimises condensation
- removes lingering cooking smells and toilet odours
- reduces heating bills
- drier air reduces the incidence of house dust mites
- complies with building regulations
- passiv house design compliant
How it works
The system operates by extracting stale moist air from kitchens, bathrooms, toilets and utility rooms. This stale air is routed through ducts to the central air unit and heat exchanger where a high proportion of it's heat is removed before being expelled outside. Simultaneously fresh outdoor air is drawn in via the unit where it is warmed using the recovered heat. The fresh air is distributed to the living rooms (lounge, dining and bedrooms) and then flows back to the kitchens, bathrooms, toilets and utility rooms to complete the ventilation circuit. The two air circuits are completely separate, with heat being transferred at the heat exchanger.
BBC Video
A study carried out by the Mackintosh School of Architecture found that many homes have too much moisture indoors. A link to the recording of the BBC report on 1st November 2012 is provided below. According to this research, 75% of householders dry their laundry inside their homes. Half a load of washing can give off one litre of water into the atmosphere, resulting in high moisture levels. This dampness can result in dust mites and mould spores which can lead to lung infections. You can see more information on this video.
