Multi delivers IAQ
The Air Academy has a separate plant room for its new Duplexvent Multi range of commercial MVHR units, the Duplexvent Multi eco. The units, which comply with 2016 ErP regulations and the most stringent incoming 2018 legislation, can be controlled from a PC or smartphone and come in a wide range of units delivering an airflow of up to 7,800m3
/hr whilst
recovering up to 93% of otherwise wasted heat. With currently over 75% of office
workers suffering from lapses in concentration and drops in productivity due to poor indoor air quality, ventilation has never been more vitally needed. The Duplexvent Multi eco is said to provide an effective system that not only improves the air environment through its G4, M5 or F7 air filters but is also environmentally friendly with heat recovery efficiency of more than 93%. The Multi eco unit is also able to
integrate with BMS allowing the user to responsively control the indoor environ- ment with just a few clicks. Alternatively the Multi eco can be fitted with Airflow’s VAV damper system, which enables the user to adjust the building’s ventilation based on zonal demand without the need of BMS integration. The range offers versatility in its installation options, available in nine different models with various installation configurations and can ventilate an office with air flows from 500m3 7,800m3
