Heat Pump Ventilation Case Study

The Jacksons have achieved their ideal home; low heating bills whilst maintaining a healthy environment with good indoor air quality.
Assisting with this and hidden within their home, is the HPV Series and HPW 300 which together, combine a heat recovery ventilation system with integral heat pumps for all their ventilation, heating, cooling and hot water needs.

The HPV system provides them with responsive, energy efficient space heating, utilizing the ventilation ducting and ceiling terminals, exchanging the stale air in the home for fresh filtered air. When the heat exchanger recovers as much heat as it can, the heat pump absorbs even more energy from the stale air and transfers it back to the supply air providing the Jacksons with a very energy efficient space heating solution.

In summer, a bypass will stop heat being recovered to the fresh, dehumidified, incoming air and if necessary, the heat pump will reverse to provide comfort cooling.
The Jacksons were drawn to the heat pump ventilation system because “…We wanted to steer away from gas… and the system ticked all the boxes… in the most eco-friendly and efficient way.”

By building a well-insulated and airtight home, the Jacksons managed to achieve U-values that exceeded building standards and were very close to Passivhaus ones. A lot of consideration was given to the structure of the building, from the materials used to the type of joists and it all played a key part in not only the installation, but the performance of the HPV system.

‘There is a luxury of living in continuous fresh air, not having to worry about heating pipes and water leaks whilst away, being able to check on the room temperatures and adjust anything – from 5,000 miles away, including the humidity in the house!’
