The modern homes we live in have become more energy efficient and comfortable over time thanks to increased standards for insulation and air tightness.
Older properties enjoyed the benefits of ventilation brought about by the chimney stack effect of fireplaces, while indoor humidity was regulated by materials such as lime render. But have consumers been negatively impacted by modern building practices?
Studies have shown that modern properties with natural ventilation via trickle vents can suffer from poor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). The need for clean and oxygen-rich air has never been more necessary thanks to the increased amount of time we are spending in our homes as a result of hybrid work practices.
DPS – Damp Proofing, Vacuum and Ventilation help clients in Clare and Limerick recover up to 95% of the heat that is normally lost through open windows, trickle vents and other break-out points such as extractor fans in a building structure.
A Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR) system is the most consistent and predictable ventilation method for extracting polluted and stale air while providing each room in your property with appropriate amounts of fresh air.
Benefits Of A MVHR
Individuals should make allowances for a MVHR system if they are planning a new build or refurbishment to a property in order to enjoy optimum performance.
Ducts are a requirement for MVHR systems and will run throughout a building and therefore require planning to support ventilation needs. Taking the time to prepare a property for a MVHR will make the difference between an unnoticeable efficient system and one that is both noisy and a drain on electricity.
Benefits of a MVHR include:
• Eliminate mould
• Energy efficient
• Enhanced heat distribution
• Improved air quality
• Quiet in operation
• Reduce symptoms of asthma and allergy sufferers
