MASTERCLASS: MVHR & Heating Strategies
| Date: 22 September 2014 | Time: 11.00 - 17.30 |
| Location: Saint Gobain Innovation Centre, 95 Great Portland Street London W1W 9NY | Cost: £150 + VAT for PHT members, £220 + VAT for non-members |
When designing to Passivhaus standard, Mechanical Ventilation Systems with Heat Recovery (MVHR) are essential to achieve the required performance levels by providing fresh air supply with minimal heat-loss. MVHR systems are also increasingly specified in more conventional buildings due to increased air-tightness standards. This masterclass will also explore the different heating strategies that can be used within a Passivhaus with examples and case studies of certified developments.
The Masterclass 'MVHR & Heating Strategies' is limited to around 20 participants and focuses on what to look out for when designing, specifying, installing and commissioning MVHR and heating systems. The masterclass will be delivered by services experts Alan Clarke, Independent Consultant and Andrew Farr of Green Building Store.
The masterclass aims to answer all the questions you have always wanted - and will be able - to ask, such as:
- At which air-tightness levels is MVHR beneficial and why?
- What are other ventilation options? Why not just open windows?
- What are typical running costs and capital costs?
- Different heating systems and strategies
- Gas boilers and Passivhaus
- What are maintenance and access requirements?
