Mechanical Ventilation
What is it?
The new homes of today have greatly reduced levels of natural ventilation, which reduces heat loss, positively contributing to the energy efficiency of the property. However, a lack of proper ventilation can lead to a build up of contaminants that can affect the health of a building’s occupants. The need for ventilation in new homes is so important that a section of the building regulations (part F) is devoted solely to this issue. Part F recognises the role to be played by heat recovery ventilation to not only meet the ventilation requirement but also to comply with the energy efficiency requirements of the building regulations.
No trickle vents or air bricks required as they are areas of heat loss.
Why should I have it?
The importance of ventilation in an efficient eco home cannot be emphasised enough. Studies have shown that a well-ventilated house makes for a more comfortable environment. A well installed mechanical ventilation system will eliminate all household odours.
