What this work involves
Discuss occupancy, existing provisions, sound and duct space. Have the system designed and commissioned for the home.
- System choice
- Ducts, terminals and noise
- Maintenance and commissioning
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Discuss where technical equipment can go without disrupting the facade rhythm.
Decide this before construction
Photograph retained details before dismantling. Check the dimensions of new components against the actual facade before production begins.
Allow for later maintenance
Record which elements are new, repaired or retained. This distinction helps identify the appropriate finish and maintenance method for each material later.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on system, duct routes, access and finishing. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for ventilation & heat recovery. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging ventilation & heat recovery?
Replacing a ventilation unit may not be enough. Supply air, transfer paths and duct condition also determine overall performance.
The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
