Domus Ventilation expands HRXE MVHR range with ZEUS


omus Ventilation, manufacturer of market-leading ventilation systems that save energy and improve indoor air quality, has expanded its HRXE range of Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) units with


the launch of HRXE-ZEUS. HRXE-ZEUS has been introduced to meet ventilation requirements for large residential properties, which require a more powerful system to deliver the airflow required to meet Building Regulations Part F. HRXE-ZEUS high performance MVHR system combines supply and extract


ventilation in one system. Using an advanced heat exchanger, up to 95% of the heat typically lost in waste, stale air is efficiently recovered and used to temper the fresh air drawn into the building. The filtered, pre-warmed air is distributed to areas of the home such as living rooms and bedrooms, effectively meeting part of the heating load in energy efficient dwellings. The system features two independent fans which have full-speed control for background and boost ventilation rates. HRXE-ZEUS comes with 100% thermal bypass which automatically activates when the air temperature reaches a pre-set level, allowing in cooler, fresh, filtered air without warming it through the heat exchanger – ideal for increasingly air tight properties that are prone to overheating in summer. The smart design of HRXE-ZEUS means there is no reduction in airflow when operating in bypass mode. There are four HRXE-ZEUS models to choose from, available to meet different specifications and different on-site requirements, including opposite handed units and units with integral humidistat. Optimal ventilation performance is achieved when choosing models with the latter, as the sensors accurately measure air humidity and the HRXE-ZEUS’s extract speed automatically changes from background to boost as the level of humidity increases. HRXE-ZEUS accessories include an Anti-Vibration tray which isolates the unit from the wall to reduce


any low levels of vibration induced noise, condensation drain kit and, of course, replacement filters. The filters are easily replaced via the front access panel, for quick and easy maintenance. HRXE-ZEUS joins Domus Ventilation’s existing range of MVHR systems, including HRXE-HERA which is suited to use in smaller properties of up to two/three bedrooms, and HRXE-AURA designed for homes of up to four/five bedrooms. All units are listed on the SAP Product Characteristics Database (PCDB) and come with a warranty of five years, with the first year covering parts and labour. The HRXE range has been designed to work most efficiently when used with Domus duct systems, providing a total solution to whole house ventilation solutions for residential properties. Domus duct systems offer improved system performance through the exacting tolerances and engineered fit of the system, whereby pressure drops are minimised and air leakage virtually eliminated. Domus duct systems feature a range of unique products, including the award-winning Greenline Bend which reduces duct bend resistance by up to 60%. Domus Ventilation has a well-deserved reputation for quality, supported by excellent technical support, from a market leading manufacturer and designer. It is well placed to offer immediate, practical solutions to Building Regulations Parts F & L.

ESP adds 12 new kits to Fort smart security range


eading security solutions supplier, ESP, has seen sales of its Fort smart security range soar since it was launched last year, with the Fort smart security kits proving particularly popular. Having


examined the individual products that account for most orders, the company decided to extend its range of kits to offer installers an increased range of product options as a boxed unit, rather than having to buy extra individual products. ESP has taken the six kits that formed part of the original Fort smart security range launch and incorporated extra products into each one to create 12 new additional kits. This now brings the total number of Fort smart security kits available from ESP to 18. The six original kits in the range are made up as follows: • • • • • •


Kit 1 - smart hub, 1 x PIR, 1 x door/window contact and 1 x remote control. Kit 2 - smart hub, 2 x PIR, 1 x door/window contact and 1 x remote control. Kit 3 - smart hub, 3 x PIR, 2 x door/window contact and 2 x remote control. Kit 4 - smart hub, 4 x PIR, 2 x door/window contact and 2 x remote control. Kit 5 - smart hub, 1 x Pet PIR, 1 x door/window contact and 1 x remote control. Kit 6 - smart hub, 2 x Pet PIR, 2 x door/window contact and 2 x remote control.


Each of these kits is now available in two further options – with A) an additional smart alarm keypad


and external solar powered smart siren, or B) an additional smart alarm keypad, external solar powered smart siren and smart Wi-Fi doorbell. The Smart Alarm Keypad is usually positioned in an entrance, hallway or landing of a property, providing a fixed point to arm and disarm the smart alarm without using the APP or remote control. The keypad also includes ‘Home’ arm for a partial arming of the system and an ‘SOS’ function to immediately raise an alarm event. The Smart Alarm External Solar Powered Siren is designed for outdoor use and features a built-


in siren (110dB) and LED Indication. It is supplied with a rechargeable backup battery, with up to 40 day standby. An external siren is suitable for any property looking for a visible deterrent to any would be intruder. The Smart Wi-Fi Doorbell offers full 1080p (2MP) HD live view, two-way audio, recording and visitor notifications. It is powered by rechargeable batteries, with up to 750 activations on full charge, and it comes with a plug-in RF chime included. Fort is a complete range of smart security products, which includes smart alarm, video doorbell, video security light, sensors and a selection of 1080p cameras. They all operate under a single APP – the ‘Click Smart+’ APP – which is completely subscription-free, with no additional fees incurred. By bringing the operation of the Fort range under the well-established, tried and tested Click Smart+ APP from Scolmore, users will have control of a raft of connected home and security products all from one secure, easy to access platform.

the result of many years’ R&D in the field of district heating. We’ll be offering a hands-on look at the solution on our stand ahead of its launch later this year, so we look forwards to welcoming both old and new visitors alike.” Steve will be giving a talk titled

Steve will be joined on the REHAU stand by various other members of the company’s technical and sales teams, to answer any questions visitors may have about this new technology. He concluded: “Our next generation shroud is the culmination of REHAU innovation, so we can’t wait to finally unveil it at Futurebuild 2023.
