MVHR

Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery

MVHR Controls Condensation. An MVHR system will control moisture and condensation in your property and not only put a stop to condensation on windows but also the development of damp and mould growth, to ultimately improve indoor air quality. Even when there are no visible signs, the moisture content of the air can have an effect on the property and the occupiers. MVHR is a perfect solution to these effects.

MVHR systems help improve indoor air quality and health by exchanging stale, humid, and polluted indoor air with fresh outdoor air. This results in a continuous supply of clean air, reduced humidity levels, reduced levels of indoor pollutants, and improved thermal comfort. All of these factors contribute to improved health and well-being in the home. Also, because of the high specification of the filters many airborne pollen or allergens are kept away from internal living areas. Asthma, hay fever and many serious allergies are often worse at home. Anyone suffering from any allergy would feel far better in a controlled air environment

Heat recovery is used to reduce the heating and cooling demands of buildings. Heat recovery systems typically recover about 60–95% of the heat in exhaust air and have significantly improved the energy efficiency of buildings. MVHR will get rid of unwanted stale air and replace it with fresh air from outside, whilst recovering and recycling the warmth at the same time.

Make Energy Savings! MVHR recovers and reuses up to 95% of the waste heat within your property and has a direct impact on the Dwelling Emission Rate required for the Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) energy assessment and ultimately reduce your carbon footprint. When heat is kept within a property and recycled there is a noticeable difference in heating requirement.  This is a key advantage for anyone looking to improve the efficiency of their home of working environment.

MBL are specialists in the implementation of MVHR ventilation systems. We have commissioned a wide variety of systems from full apartment projects to large homes. We have installed systems in passive homes and work in line with best practice standards. Our design process starts by crafting a bespoke layout, calculated from the architectural plans. It is always a priority to make these systems as invisible as possible, integrating them seamlessly into the fabric of the building. Below you can see some of the different elements, different uses and benefits of an MVHR system.
