Briefing Note 2: MVHR systems and airtightness improvements in domestic refurbishment

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

Airtightness of existing homes needs to be improved when installing mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) systems in order to maximise energy savings and carbon emissions reduction. Retrofitted MVHR systems should reach higher performance standards, where it can be challenging to achieve the low air permeabilities for existing dwellings, compared to new build. The quality of workmanship is critical to ensuring the optimal performance and achieving energy and CO2 emissions reductions
