Airflow Developments has released the next generation of its MVHR ventilation units – the Adroit MVHR range. Passive House certified, and SAP Appendix Q eligible the systems should be considered during the design and planning stages of a property in order to provide effective ‘whole house’ ventilation and help maximise energy efficiency. Importantly, the units are equipped with the latest smart technology, which allows air flow settings to be controlled within the home or remotely by PC, Tablet or Smart phone.
Leading ventilation manufacturer Airflow Developments has launched its Internet capable Adroit MVHR range for the domestic market. Utilising mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR), the systems recover over 90% energy recovery of valuable heat that would typically be lost as part of the ventilation process from wet rooms and use this energy to pre-warm clean, fresh air that is constantly brought in from outside and circulated within the home.
Crucially, the units are equipped with the latest interactive smart technology that provides real-time monitoring and control of indoor air environments - at home or on the move. Once registered to the Adroit Cloud Service, the air flow settings of the unit can be controlled via a computer or mobile device. Moreover, the unit is also able to connect into house automation through the Modbus, or be controlled via a fixed controller.
Easy to use and with an intuitive colour display, the control panel is a responsive, portable interface, which provides a step-by-step guide on how to successfully manage the ventilation unit. Designed with four different profiles to choose from – Home, Away, Boost or Fireplace function, users are able to programme the units according to their personal routines and preferences. For example, setting ventilation to ‘Away’ during workdays will avoid unnecessary air filtration into the premises and therefore reduce energy costs and wastage.
There is also the option to install two external switches. For example, one switch can be set to ‘Boost’ profile within a kitchen or bathroom to accommodate for fluctuating indoor atmospheres, and another can be programmed to alternate between ‘Home’ and ‘Away’ profiles. Cooker hood boosting is also possible when a compatible recirculating cooker hood is in place.
“The highly sophisticated Adroit MVHR range is a complete whole-house ventilation solution that not only effectively delivers fresh, healthy air into the home but can also be controlled, monitored and managed by portable devices,” said John Kelly, Marketing Manager at Airflow.
“Over 15.3 million homes in the UK are estimated to be at risk of Toxic Home Syndrome due to indoor air pollutants. With buildings becoming increasingly airtight it is more important than ever to design properties with efficient, eco-friendly ventilation solutions. Architects and specifiers have a fundamental role to play in helping to improve indoor air quality.”
The Adroit MVHR units also incorporate low energy/noise EC fans, a triple filter system to reduce airborne pollutants, automatic frost protection, a 100% bypass facility and also has an intelligent temperature and humidity sensor inbuilt. An optional carbon dioxide sensor makes it easier to monitor and maintain internal comfort levels.
