Vent-Axia, leaders in low carbon ventilation, is delighted to announce that its Kinetic Plus E, Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system has been shortlisted in the Best Services Product Category at this year's Housebuilder Product Awards.
The inaugural Housebuilder Product Awards will be judged and presented at a ceremony at the Edgbaston Stadium, Birmingham on Thursday 20 June 2013.
The ceremony will commence with a drinks reception followed by a three course lunch and the Awards presentation. The Housebuilder Products Awards will bring together key personnel from across the industry with the Awards themselves being judged by a panel of industry experts.
Launched in July 2012, the Kinetic Plus E is the best performing MVHR system listed on SAP Appendix Q. It boasts a specific fan power (SFP) as low as 0.4W/l/s, combined with 94% heat recovery, and provides valuable reductions in Dwelling Emission Rates (DER) – a key consideration as we move towards zero carbon homes.
Meeting the requirements of Building Regulations Document Part F 2010 for whole house ventilation, System 4, Kinetic Plus E also complies with Energy Saving Trust best practice. It consumes as little as 20W, and only costs around £20 a year to run. Meanwhile, at 94% thermal efficiency, the Kinetic Plus E recovers far more energy than it costs to run.
Manufactured in the UK, the system combines supply and extract ventilation in one unit. Warm, moist air is extracted and passed through the heat exchanger before being exhausted outside. Fresh incoming air is preheated via the heat exchanger which recovers up to 94% of the heat energy that would otherwise be wasted.
Heat recovery ventilation also reduces excessive moisture in the air, combating condensation and mould growth, and saving money on maintenance. It also improves indoor air quality and brings the duel health benefits of reducing microscopic fungal growth and eliminating the conditions in which house dust mites thrive.
The compact system has two adjustable speeds, normal or boost, and pre-set speeds can be set on the controller for any required performance up to 400m³/hr (111l/s) 150pa, ideal for a four bedroom house.
The Kinetic Plus E offers flexible left or right hand installation, features an external condensate connection and comes with frost protection. It is part Vent-Axia’s Lo-Carbon™ collection of energy saving ventilation solutions.
