What's new with ventilation

Current building regulations now demand homes to be built more airtight as they are subjected to higher insulation standards. Unless fresh air is introduced into the airtight building envelope, this is likely to lead to stale air and moisture build up. When air is stale, moisture can settle in areas which are cooler such as carpets, windows and curtains, which can result in mould, mildew and damage to furnishings

So how do you introduce fresh air heat recovery ventilation in to rooms that do not have roof space to accommodate a traditional large bulky heat recovery ventilation system with extensive duct work?

The Lossnay Single Room Ventilation System features a compact wall mounted ductless design, specifically made for dwellings with no roof space to install a ducted system. It is quick and easy to install, and furthermore, maintenance such as filter cleaning is a breeze for the homeowner.

Starting at a low 25dBA, Lossnay provides a range of air volumes for each fan speed to achieve low noise operation.

Lossnay’s unique Heat Exchanger collects up to 80% of the heat energy from the stale, outgoing air to pre-warm the cool incoming fresh air as it passes through the unique and patented permeable membrane core.

Therefore when the warm air enters the room the heating source doesn’t need to work as hard to heat the incoming air, making the system super energy efficient.

By using fresh air from outside rather than stale attic air filled with dust and contaminants, Lossnay improves indoor air quality, ideal for asthma and allergy suffers without opening windows.

Emma Hutchinson, Business Manager for Domestic Ventilation Systems for Mitsubishi Electric in New Zealand explains the need for mechanical ventilation is increasing as homeowners become more conscious of health, noise and security.

“The need for ventilation is becoming more prevalent as we look for ways to make our homes as healthy as possible, while also getting the most out of our investment.

Lossnay Single Room Ventilation is perfect for homes as it’s easy to install and maintain while providing homeowners with peace of mind they are breathing in fresh air from outside without having to open windows. By keeping windows shut, homes are kept fresh, secure and quiet while reducing moisture damage in rooms.
