Trust to conduct MVHR Masterclass with ventilation experts Alan Clarke and Andrew Farr

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.

The masterclass 'MVHR- Making ventilation systems work' organised by the Trust and limited to around 20 participants focuses on what to look out for when designing, specifying, installing and commissioning MVHR units. The masterclass will be delivered by ventilation experts Alan Clarke and Andrew Farr, Green Building Store and will take place on 19th February at UCL Energy Institute, London.

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?
  • How noisy is it? What about air-quality?
  • What are maintenance and access requirements?
  • And many others...
