Mechanical ventilation

Circulating fresh air via ducts and fans to meet air quality requirement with the most effective solution

Mechanical ventilation is an important part of any development and specifying the right system type and product, and understanding its design and installation needs, is vital. GDHV has ventilation specialists and purpose-designed products which can benefit your project throughout every stage of the process.

Intermittent ventilation

Intermittent ventilation, otherwise known as local extract fans, operate intermittently under either occupant or automatic control. They are installed through walls, windows or ceilings and are fitted within wet rooms to provide rapid extraction of moisture and other pollutants.

Mechanical extract ventilation

Mechanical extract ventilation is a ventilation system designed to continuously extract air from wet rooms. There are two types of MEV available, centralised (cMEV) whole house systems and de-centralised (dMEV) through wall solutions.

Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery

Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery is a continuous, balanced ventilation system with heat recovery capabilities, combining supply and extract ventilation in one unit for developments with low air permeability.

Features and benefits:

Specification

We offer a range of mechanical ventilation solutions designed with industry and compliance in mind, and our ventilation specialists are on hand to help you specify the best solutions to meet your project’s requirements.

Design

With systems such as MVHR, we are able to engage with building designers to understand building layouts and help to produce detailed ducting drawings, to ensure every bend and run creates the most effective system possible. This can maximise the energy performance of the system once the building is complete and can act as an aid during the installation process.

Installation

At GDHV, our ventilation products have been designed with a heavy focus on ease of installation. We know that the issues associated with mechanical ventilation such as noise, increased time spent on complex installation and the challenge of product and ducting inflexibility can be mitigated at the point of product design, helping you to keep a high quality of ventilation installation during construction.

Training

As effective installation is so important to the operational performance of the product; we offer a course to help your engineers gain BPEC certification. Our BPEC training has already been utilised by companies across the industry, resulting in positive effects onsite. These courses can be run at one of our regional training centres or at contractors’ premises using our purpose-built mobile unit.
