A mix of studios, 1, 2, 3 Bed and penthouses were installed with whole house MVHR heat recovery systems at this new build development loacted in West Ham, London
With overheating planning conditions in place, higher airflow rates were required to comply with ADF: Means of Ventilation. This resulted in a mix of PVC and metal ducting to be installed together to achieve required airflows within a typical ceiling void depth.
Key Information:

Low Profile 300 x 100mm metal ducting (equaivalent to 180mm diameter) installed in conjunction with PVC 220 x 90mm ductwork
- Custom metal air distribution boxes
MVHR - Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery
MVHR Heat Recovery Ventilation is whole house ventilation system ideal for energy efficient residential properties offering conintuous extract of stale, moisture ladden air and replacement with new fresher filtered air. As air is extracted, it is passed through a heat exchanger which recovers heat which is then re-used in the new, replacement supply air. The heat recovery process helps temper incoming air, and reduce heating requirements to the property. During summer months a 'Summer Bypass' mode automatically stops the heat recovery process, whilst the continuous airflow is maintained helping keep the environment cool and comfortable. All new replacement air is also passed through filters.
ResiDUCT™ by Pinnacle Ductwork (www.pinnacleductwork.co.uk)
ResiDUCT is a low profile ducting range with a larger cross-sectional area than typical plastic ducting meaning a greater volume of air can flow through at a given velocity, resulting in higher airflow rates. 300 x 100 = 180mm, 300 x 125mm = 200mm, 400 x 100 = 205mm, 400 x 125mm = 230mm
