New brochure shows how heat recovery ventilation can reduce energy use

Release date: 28 June 2013

Mitsubishi Electric has launched new literature focusing on the benefits that effective ventilation systems can offer to our buildings, by lowering running costs and CO2 emissions, whilst delivering a fresh and comfortable internal environment.

The brochure highlights the company’s advanced range of Lossnay mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) units, which will work effectively on their own or in conjunction with a building’s air conditioning system.  

“The World Health Organisation estimates that we now spend around 90 per cent of our time indoors, so good air quality is essential,” explains Jason Tinsley, Mitsubishi Electric’s ventilation expert.

These days, it is simply not cost effective to just open a window, as heated or cooled indoor air is wasted and incoming air needs additional energy use to bring it to the required indoor temperature.

“This is where Lossnay can really help,” adds Tinsley. “We have spent years refining our paper core which captures both the latent and sensible heat from the outgoing air and uses it to bring the incoming air nearer to the room temperature.”

Far less energy is then required to reach programmed levels of comfort and Lossnay’s ability to capture latent heat means the new air is less static and dry. The system also includes a bypass mode to offer free summer cooling when required.

Lossnay sales have been growing rapidly as building designers and operators strive to meet increasingly tough legislation and planning regulations covering air quality and energy efficiency.

Poor indoor air quality can be attributed to many problems inside a building – such as excess humidity causing dampness, rot and mould, whilst pollutants are known to be a major cause of damaging health issues such as asthma and eczema. Stale air is also believed to lead to a loss in productivity and low morale.

As the demand for improved energy efficiency results in increasingly airtight buildings, natural ventilation proves less effective and drives the need for mechanical ventilation. With increasing legislation, the challenge for designers, installers and occupiers of any building is to find ventilation that’s both effective and energy efficient.

The new Lossnay brochure meets this need and provides answers on how to supply fresh air into any building whilst simultaneously extracting stale air and, most importantly, recovering valuable heat energy for maximum efficiency.
