Our
client is a long established and respected company which has built an
award winning reputation as Britain's premier house builder for internal
and external design and construction.
Situated in the heart of London
Docklands, the project was a development of nearly 100 stunning new
apartments. It was designed as a clean and modern apartment property
providing a quality living accommodation within the heart of London.
The Brief
[back to
top]
Our client wanted a modern and
sophisticated Heat Recovery system that would compliment the modern
interior of each apartment. With nearly 100 apartments, the system
needed to be quiet, yet highly efficient in its operation.
The system would also need to take into
consideration the nature of a 13 story block of flats, as the opening of
windows would be restricted and improved security measures would be
beneficial.
The Solution [back

The client incorporated the
Villavent
Heat Recovery Ventilation within the apartments.
The Result [back

Installation of the unit above the
cookerhood has ensured an optimum usage of space within each apartment.
The performance of the Heat Recovery system is very efficient providing
a clean and filtered air and improving the internal environment where
windows remain closed. A minimum number of external breakouts has
maintained the interesting facade of the property, while internally, the
ventilation units integrate well with a simple interior.
The system is easy to control via the
cookerhood and incorporates built in humidity sensors to boost the
system when 'wet' rooms are in use.
