Ventilation for High Performance Homes
Ventilation powers high-performance homes. If you don’t have air filtration ventilation in a high-performance home, your home probably isn’t high-performance.
High performance homes are edging past the passive house standard – precise climate controls, airtight building fabric, integrated ventilation systems, renewable energy generation and heat recovery are all holistically employed to a new standard.
From energy capture and use, to smart system integration and efficient management of resources — high-performance homes are all about systems. A high-performance home wouldn’t be high performance without a system for fresh air. The beyond the fabric design of the passive house is synonymous with high-performance homes. Ventilation is another cornerstone along with heating and power for the high-performance home — air filtration and heat recovery underscore the big design principles that make the house a high-performance house. The respiratory systems of the passive house body.
Centralised ventilation offers a high air flow rate and individual control of this rate to various rooms. Air quality options, climate control and energy savings can be managed to the specific room. Passive cooling in the form of the summer bypass function would also not be a miss in a high-performance home.
With the options available for air filtration filter type, an ideal standard dry air can almost be achieved, even in the most difficult climate or pollution situation, always high-performance.
- G3 and G4 level air filters are for course dust particles (≥ 10 µm), pollen, flower pollen and fog.
- M5 level air filters are for fine dust particles (≥ 1 µm), spores, cement dust as well as all of the above.
- F7 level air filters are for fine dust particles (≥ 1 µm), bacteria, carbon soot, as well as all of the above.
- F9 level air filters are for fine dust particles (≥ 1 µm), tobacco smoke, metal oxide smoke, oil smoke and all of the above.
