Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR)

Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery

Selecting the Correct Heat Recovery System

Polypipe MVHR appliances warm fresh air drawn into the building, using the heat from stale air extracted from bathrooms and kitchens, reducing the need for heating.

By very efficiently driving fresh, filtered and air around the building through Domus duct systems, Polypipe MVHR systems significantly improves the living environment.

The Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH) ensures Building Regulations demand the very best energy efficiency from new homes.

Code level 3 is currently mandatory for private new homes and requires a 25% energy saving over homes built to 2006 regulations. Many developments already require level 4, a 44% energy saving. Building fabric is being improved to satisfy current regulations. Dwellings are therefore becoming air-tight and in need of active ventilation.

Polypipe's HR range of Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery appliances:

  • Reduce fuel consumption
  • Help provide healthy living environments
  • Secure additional points towards the Dwelling Emission Rate (DER) required of any new building by Building Regulations.

Summer bypass options are available on all Polypipe HR appliances. It ensures heat is not retained within the home when not required. Of particular benefit to allergy sufferers and those living in urban environments, summer bypass options allow cooler outside air in while isolating noise and pollutants.
