In this episode, Nick delves into the topic of Mechanical Heat Recovery Ventilation (MVHR) systems, following a previous discussion on Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) systems. Nick explains how MVHR provides a continuous supply of fresh, filtered air while recovering heat from stale air, making it an essential solution for modern, energy-efficient buildings. He outlines the system's operation, benefits, and components, emphasising its role in improving indoor air quality, reducing energy bills, and preventing moisture-related issues. KEY TAKEAWAYS Mechanical Heat Recovery Ventilation (MVHR) systems provide continuous fresh air while recovering heat from stale air, making them ideal for modern, energy-efficient buildings. They are not typically found in older homes. MVHR systems can recover 60% to over 90% of heat that would otherwise be lost, significantly reducing heating demands and energy bills. This makes them a cost-effective solution over time, despite the initial installation costs. By continuously exchanging air, MVHR systems remove pollutants, moisture, and odours, contributing to a healthier indoor environment. This is particularly beneficial for allergy and asthma sufferers. These systems help manage indoor humidity levels, preventing condensation and mould growth, which protects the building's structure and reduces the need for costly repairs. Proper design and commissioning are crucial for the effectiveness of MVHR systems. A well-designed system ensures efficient operation, noise reduction, and balanced airflow, making it essential to allocate a budget for these stages during new builds or major renovations. BEST MOMENTS "It's not a solution to rising damp, penetrating damp, etc. But it is something that will help control mould, condensation, etc." "The core of the MVHR system is the heat exchanger. This allows the system to balance ventilation with energy efficiency." "By recovering heat from the extracted air, the system greatly reduces the energy needed to heat the incoming fresh air." "MVHR systems are highly efficient, often recovering 60% to over 90% of the heat that would otherwise be lost through conventional ventilation." "If you get it right at the design stage, you can keep using that design. Get it right first."
