4 NUAIRE S MVHR MECHANICAL VENTILATION WITH HEAT RECOVERY (MVHR - System 4) Heat recovery (MVHR) is fast becoming the most popular strategy for effective whole home ventilation for new build properties. A proven low-energy, highly efficient ventilation method, Nuaire s heat recovery MRXBOX range offers all year round ventilation by extracting moisture and supplying fresh air, whilst recovering the heat that would otherwise be lost. The MRXBOXAB s is the first MVHR range on the market with integral automatic summer bypass as standard. Nuaire offers the widest range of heat recovery systems in the UK, specifically designed to meet building regulations with the best SFPs/SAP Q scores. With a range of compact wall units designed to suit every size and type of property, Nuaire will have a unit to fit the requirements of your project. With Government legislation and building regulations for low leakage rates, air-tight buildings may lead to poor indoor air quality. Nuaire s award winning, wide range of MVHR solutions are 95% efficient and will quietly and effectively provide fresh, filtered air all year round. MVHR systems will retain heat that would otherwise have been lost to outside and warm incoming fresh air, if required. MVHR How does it work? NO NEED TO OPEN WINDOWS TO VENTILATE Clean fresh air is continuously drawn into the property from outside through the supply air ducting. HIGH EFFICIENCY FILTERS HELP CREATE A HEALTHY LIVING ENVIRONMENT Clean, fresh air passes through the filter inside the unit and into the counter-flow heat exchanger, where it is warmed using the heat recovered from extract before it is delivered to the habitable rooms of the home. 4 BOOST FACILITY Both the supply and extract air can be boosted at any time by the home owner to increase the ventilation levels. Light switches, PIRs and Humidistats can be used. PREVENTS CONDENSATION BY KEEPING MOISTURE LEVELS LOW Stale air is continuously extracted from the moisture producing areas, such as kitchens and bathrooms. The MVHR unit takes advantage of the heat by absorbing up to 95% of it and storing it in the heat exchanger.

5 All the options you need Ventilation is often overlooked, or considered late in the construction when joists and other services are installed. Nuaire offer a wide range of solutions, including MVHR s for wall or ceiling mount. Nuaire also offer acoustic solutions to ensure you not only meet building regulations, but ensure efficient, whisper-quiet performance. WALL VOID Design Services Nuaire s Technical Application Team can offer expert advice and support on design.

6 NUAIRE S MVHR Building Regulations Part F Table 5.1a Extract Ventilation Rates Room Kitchen Intermittent Extract Continuous Extract Minimum Rate Minimum High Rate Minimum Low Rate 30 l/s adjacent to hob, or 60 l/s elsewhere Utility Room 30 l/s 8 l/s Bathroom 15 l/s 8 l/s Sanitary Accommodation 6 l/s 6 l/s Table 5.1b Whole Dwelling Ventilation Rates 13 l/s Total extract rate should be at least the whole dwelling ventilation rate given in Table 5.1b Number of bedrooms in dwelling Whole dwelling ventilation rate a.b. (l/s) Notes: a. In addition, the minimum ventilation rates should be no less than 0.3 l/s per m 2 of internal floor area (this includes all floors, e.g. for a two-storey building, add the ground and first floor areas). b. This is based on two occupants in the main bedroom and a single occupant in all other bedrooms. This should be used as the default value. If a greater level of occupancy is expected, add 4 l/s per occupant. Design of continuous mechanical extract systems System 3 (Continuous Mechanical Extract) has been sized for the winter period. Additional ventilation may be required during warmer months and it has been assumed that the provisions for purge ventilation (e.g. openable windows) could be used. Step 1: Determine the whole dwelling ventilation rate from Table 5.1b. (Note: no allowance is made for infiltration as the extract system lowers the pressure in the dwelling and all air flow through infiltration paths does not increase the overall ventilation rate.) Step 2: Calculate the whole dwelling extract ventilation rate by summing the individual room rates for minimum high rate from Table 5.1a. (For sanitary accommodation only, as an alternative, the purge ventilation provisions can be used where security is not an issue. In this case the minimum high extract rate for the sanitary accommodation should be omitted from the Step 2 calculation.) Step 3: The required extract rates are as follows: The maximum whole dwelling extract ventilation rate (i.e. the boost rate) should be at least the greater of Step 1 and Step 2. Note that the maximum individual room extract rates should be at least those given in Table 5.1a for minimum high rate. Location of Ventilation Devices Extract should be from each wet room. Mechanical extract terminals and fans should be installed as high as is practicable and preferably less than 400mm below the ceiling. Where ducts etc are provided in a dwelling with a protected stairway, precautions may be necessary to avoid the possibility of the system allowing smoke or fire to spread into the stairway. Air Transfer To ensure good transfer of air throughout the dwelling, there should be an undercut of minimum area 7600mm 2 in all internal doors above the floor finish. This is equivalent to an undercut of 10mm for a standard 760mm width door. This should be achieved by making an undercut of 10mm above the floor finish if the floor finish is fitted, or by a 20mm undercut above the floorboards, or other surface, if the finish has not been fitted. Controls Should be set up to operate without occupant intervention, but may have manual or automatic controls to select the boost rate. Any manual boost controls should be provided locally to spaces being served, e.g. bathrooms and kitchen, as provision of a single centrally located switch may result in fans being left in an inappropriate mode of operation. Automatic controls could include sensors for humidity, occupancy/usage and pollutant release. Humidity controls should not be used for sanitary accommodation as odour is the main pollutant. In kitchens, any automatic control must provide sufficient flow during cooking with fossil fuel (e.g. gas) to avoid build up of combustion products. Ensure that the system always provides the minimum whole dwelling ventilation rate specified in table 5.1b. Where manual controls are provided, they should be within reasonable reach of the occupants. It is recommended that they are located in accordance with the guidance of Requirement N3 Safe Opening And Closing of Windows etc., which is given in Approved Document N. Where reasonable, pull cords, operating rods or similar devices should be provided. Noise Any continuously running fans should be quiet so as not to discourage their use by occupants. The minimum whole dwelling extract ventilation rate should be at least the whole dwelling ventilation rate found in Step 1. 6
