Energy-Efficient Ventilation Systems
EnviroNomix specialise in the supply and installation of Heat Recovery Ventilation Systems. Our systems employ a counter-flow heat exchanger between the inbound and outbound air flow, which provides fresh air and improved climate control, while also saving energy by reducing the heating (or cooling) requirements.
The Problem
Modern well insulated homes with central heating suffer air pollution up to 10 times worse than outside, according to a 'Which' report.
Surveys by the (Department of Environment Transport Region) DETR and the Building Research Establishment (BRE) have Carbon Dioxide levels in one in ten British homes above World Health Organisation guidelines.
Current Building Regulations call for extractor fans in all wet areas of the property including the kitchen, bathroom, utility, en-suite, WC and trickle vents in all the windows to allow air back into the property, at a cost to the home owner.
The Solution - Heat Recovery
Heat Recovery systems are designed to completely change all the air in the property at least once every two hours, continually replacing the stale damp air with fresh, warmed, clean, filtered air.
The Heat Recovery Ventilation system recovers 60-90% of the heat normally lost through trickle vents and other breakout points in the building structure.
By installing a Heat Recovery system you are providing filtered fresh air thus creating a healthier indoor environment alleviating allergy sufferers.
Our systems comply with the current Building Regulations 2006 Part F and in Scotland standard 3.14 and therefore no noisy extractor fans or draughty trickle ventilators in windows are required.
By negating the need for trickle ventilators in the windows noise pollution and heat loss is greatly reduced.
