Ventilation
The Problem
Flexibility in design is a key requirement in any building structure as the people that work and live in these buildings require different levels of comfort throughout the 4 seasons in a year.
Trying to provide an energy efficient, cost effective solution to heating, ventilation and cooling to match the requirements of the above conditions has for many years eluded most of us.
The problem when combining the 3 key comfort conditions, whilst unobtrusively fitting it into the structure and keeping running costs and noise levels low, providing flexibility in being simple to 'add on' if necessary, without the needless expense of fitting something that may not be needed, is what the Villavent® system aims to resolve.
The Solution - Comfort Conditioning
We summarise this as 'The ability to choose the level of Comfort we require in our environment.' We split the 3 conditions to just 2:
- Heating - space (or central) and domestic hot water
This can be from a boiler or heat pump, from any fuel and provide individual room temperature control.
- Ventilation and Cooling which we provide from our ventilation partners, Villavent. As experts in domestic ventilation with over 40 years experience in Scandinavia and 20 years in the UK, Villavent are at the forefront in technology for Ventilation of the modern well insulated home.
Villavent® Comfort ConditioningTM combines Heat Recovery Ventilation with options to upgrade including:
- Additional Heating (to provide air above room temperature on very cold days
- Increased efficiency of filtration (less than 0.1 um-micron)
- Additional attenuation (to provide virtually silent Ventilation to living rooms on normal)
- Increased efficiency of Heat Recovery (up to and exceeding 90%)
- Comfort cooling (8-12C temp drop on airflow, from outlets, from ambient)
- Flexibility in design (plan for the future
- Achieve ventilation at near room temperature
- Increased levels of energy efficiency and payback on capital cost
- Exceedingly quiet operation in living areas
- Increased filtration to levels necessary for allergy sufferers
- Whole house comfort cooling
- No large internal unit on walls or ceiling to deliver cooling
- No additional internal noise from cooling operation
