ProductNews The rise of MVHR
Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) is set to play a key role in meeting building regulations and tackling damp and mould crisis, according to Elta Group.
W
ith UK building standards become more stringent than ever and the drive for air
tightness and energy effi ciency increasing, the UK is entering a critical phase for building compliance and indoor air quality. MVHR is emerging as a key partner in balancing airtight homes with healthy living environments.
With upcoming regulatory changes – including Awaab’s Law, which compels landlords to act quickly on damp and mould – the need for eff ective ventilation systems has become even more critical. Elta has launched its HAVA MVHR range to address ventilation compliance, heat effi ciency and occupant health in one solution. While still technically compliant in some cases, traditional ventilation methods such as extract fans and trickle vents often fall short when it
comes to delivering the level of indoor air quality and energy effi ciency now expected, particularly in modern airtight homes.
MVHR systems are already widely adopted in some European countries including Sweden and the Netherlands, where the system is seen as standard in new homes. Their ability to supply new, fi ltered air while recovering up to 92% of heat from outgoing air positions them as an ideal fi t for modern building demands. To add urgency to the adoption of high performing ventilation systems, Awaab’s Law is set to enforce stricter timeframes for landlords and housing providers in dealing with damp and mould. This places additional responsibility on ventilation to perform reliably and help to prevent these issues.
Elta’s MVHR range has been engineered specifi cally for UK residential use. Available in six
