HIGH TECH, LOW ENERGY VENTILATION SOLUTIONS FROM FAIRHAVEN… Improved indoor air quality with a low carbon footprint

R ecent times have seen a heightened focus on indoor air quality across almost every indoor environment, for obvious reasons. Fairhaven H&V Services – the HVAC specialist – has promoted the benefits of improved IAQ for many years, most notably (but not exclusively) in the schools sector. Good air quality is an essential element of the school BB101 guidelines for a reason. It is a fundamental requirement for the wellbeing, comfort and productivity of occupants. This requirement applies equally to offices, meeting rooms and any other internal spaces where people spend long periods of time. Air pollution can originate from inside the room, such as from furniture or occupants, or from the outside air. While various indoor air filtration systems have been promoted by many as the solution to IAQ, they cannot deal with the most common indoor air pollutant: CO2. Ventilation, i.e. diluting or replacing

polluted indoor air with fresh air from outside, is the only IAQ solution that deals with CO2 effectively. This can be achieved via natural, mechanical, or hybrid ventilation methods. The benefit of using natural or hybrid ventilation solutions is that they deliver much needed improvements in IAQ, with lower associated carbon emissions and energy costs than comparable mechanical systems. Monodraught’s HVR Zero range combines the low power consumption of hybrid ventilation with the enhanced thermal performance of mechanical heat recovery systems. It allows natural ventilation (with free cooling) in warmer conditions and switches to fan-assisted operation with heat recovery when outdoor temperatures are low. HVR Zero is a net carbon zero product and will therefore meet current (and future) NZEB guidelines. The units can be fitted with optional LPHW heating and/or cooling coils to provide all the ventilation

and heating requirements of the room in a single system, reducing complexity and cost. The new “Acuity” centralised controller allows multiple HVR Zero systems to be monitored and controlled from a single point via a bus network, with a single connection to the BMS. HVR Zero hybrid ventilation with heat recovery from Monodraught is the perfect solution for new or refurbished buildings that require the benefits of low carbon natural ventilation with the additional capacity of boost ventilation at peak times and heat recovery during wintertime.
