Heat & energy recovery
Preserving indoor air quality.
A Heat Recovery System is designed to bring fresh air into your home at a comfortable temperature. These systems recover heat or cooling energy from extracted room air as the heat recovery core transfers the heat from the outgoing air to the incoming air, warming or cooling your home respectively.
In winter, it is much more important that ventilation systems not only perform their basic function of extracting moist, stale air,
but do so in a way that complements the costly efforts made to warm your home. System performance is best measured by the efficiency of the core. SmartVent has a wide range of Heat & Energy Recovery Systems, from highly efficient centralised systems designed for roof cavities, to decentralized through wall systems for either single rooms or an entire building.
SmartVent Synergy3
SmartVent Synergy3 is a centralised energy recovery system that constantly evaluates the environmental dynamics in and around your home.
Four wireless temperature and humidity sensors measure moisture content throughout the home, in the roof cavity and outside, to calculate dew point which is the measure of when condensation will appear on the windows given the internal temperature and moisture conditions combined with the temperature of the coldest surface. This comprehensive and clever solution can then determine how much improved air quality to introduce to effect change without the risk of over-ventilating. At the heart of these systems the exchange of heat energy from the outgoing air to the incoming air provides an excellent solution for homes built after 2002.
SmartVent Balance
SmartVent Balance is an energy efficient heat recovery ventilation system designed specifically for new build and low−permeability properties.
These systems incorporate MVHR (mechanical ventilation with heat recovery) technology which effectively uses the heat of the stale air being extracted to temper the incoming cold air to ensure that the loss of heat in the home is kept to a minimum. The warm, moist, stale air is extracted from a central point in the home, such as the hallway or wet rooms, through ducting and passed through the heat exchanger before being exhausted to the outside. Incoming fresh air is filtered and then tempered, without being polluted, via the integral counterflow heat exchanger which recovers up to 90% of the heat energy from the home, that would otherwise be wasted, thus maximising energy efficiency. A built-in core bypass allows for effortless summer operation, this European-inspired and manufactured system is set to impress those looking for the best.
SmartVent Tempra
SmartVent Tempra is a single room heat recovery unit designed to be installed through an exterior wall so you can ventilate a space without needing a roof cavity.
SmartVent Tempra is suitable for residential retrofit and new builds, elderly care facilities, student accommodation, military barracks and apartments.
SmartVent Tempra meets the performance requirements for continuous ventilation under the NZ Building Regulations. With a 100mm diameter heat recovery outlet, these units have low energy consumption and low noise levels. Based on a 2.4m stud and 0.35 ACH (as per NZS4303.1990), SmartVent Tempra can be set to run continuously at 6 l/s (for rooms up to 25m2) or 9 l/s (for rooms up to 37m2), boosting up to 13 l/s, recovering energy from the extracted air and returning it to the dwelling.
The unique, compact heat exchanger has a temperature efficiency up to 80%, saving energy and reducing your carbon footprint while providing quality ventilation in situations where a traditional heat recovery ventilation system is not practical.
