Breathe Easy: Making Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery Work in Practice

Breathe Easy: Making Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery Work in Practice
For many building practitioners, ventilation is one of those tricky, “invisible” elements that can make or break project performance. Clients are now asking more questions about indoor air quality (IAQ) than ever before, and a growing number are specifically requesting mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) systems. But without early planning, the right design choices, and clear compliance pathways, MVHR can quickly turn into a costly, underperforming headache.
This webinar takes a practical look at:
• the most common IAQ contaminants found in Australian homes—and the measurable improvements a well-designed MVHR system can deliver
• the two main ducting styles, where each works best, and the pros and cons that matter on site
• why engaging with experienced suppliers early can prevent design compromises and installation dramas
• how lower continuous flowrates align with NCC deemed-to-satisfy pathways, so you can stay compliant without overcomplicating your design
• the key building performance factors that determine whether clients actually feel the benefits they’ve paid for

Whether you’re integrating MVHR for the first time or refining your approach, this session will help you design for comfort, energy efficiency, and compliance—without losing time, money, or sanity in the process.

Learning outcomes:
You’ll walk away with:

• clarity on IAQ risks and how to mitigate them
• a practical understanding of NCC ventilation requirements
• strategies for designing MVHR-ready building structures
• confidence that you can deliver IAQ, comfort, and energy performance without pulling your hair out
