The Passivhaus Institute has awarded Xpelair’s innovative Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) unit, Natural Air 180, the Passivhaus Standard, demonstrating its ability to drastically improve the energy performance and indoor air quality of a building.
The recognition is particularly crucial in the UK with the government committing to reducing carbon emissions of 80 per cent by 2050. With more emphasis being placed on housebuilders to achieve the standard, homes and buildings are becoming far more airtight, resulting in less natural ventilation and a higher build-up of indoor air pollutants. Xpelair’s Natural Air 180 unit has been designed to address this.
Natural Air 180 provides an efficient and flexible approach to whole house ventilation. The unit has been designed for consistent performance and flexibility. From NOX filtration for optimised safety to PIR sensor activity for enhanced efficiency and cold-climate pre-heating, each unit can be customised using Xpelair’s extensive range of ancillaries.
Natural Air 180 also features Xpelair’s Ghost Air Movement technology to deliver near-silent running. It also features Xpelair’s Intelligent Adaptiflow Sensing for Assured Installed Performance through constant volume technology, and an active humidistat, which will boost the unit when there is a rapid increase in humidity.
The system is just 552 x 609 x 285mm (WxHxD) and has a two-year warranty.
