Energy Recovery Wholehouse Ventilation Systems MTD Solutions provide a complete home system, delivering comfortable and controlled heat recovery ventilation. MTD wholehouse ventilation systems ensure fresh filtered air, good health and a sense of well-being; vital considering we spend 70% of our time indoors! A wholehouse ventilation system with heat recovery is not a heating system or an alternative to a heating system. It simply recovers the energy provided by any heating system, which would ordinarily be lost through traditional ventilation systems.

MTD-ERV Range for Energy Efficiency The past decade has seen a huge emphasis on increasing the thermal efficiency of home building and we now have draught free, well-insulated homes. However, with this comes an increasing number of respiratory problems related to poor air quality. The most effective way to combat this is a balanced mechanical ventilation of the building; meaning as much freshly filtered air is fed into the living rooms as stale air is extracted from the kitchen and bathrooms. Dedicated research has resulted in the MTD-ERV range, a high-quality and innovative product range that scores highly on both energy efficiency, and comfort in the home. The MTD-ERV range is synonymous with heat recovery and comfort; in other words a complete unit. The MTD-ERV range ensures a balanced ventilation system with heat recovery efficiency of up to 97%.

How does the MTD-ERV Range Work? The MTD-ERV heat recovery ventilation system eliminates the need for traditional and energy inefficient wall vents. It works by extracting stale waste air from a home s wet areas (kitchen, toilet, shower room, utility room etc.). This warm air is then brought through a counterflow heat exchanger, which warms as the air passes over it and then discharges the waste air to the atmosphere. At the same time, fresh cool air from outside is brought into the counterflow where it gets warmed and then distributed (via ducting) to the home s occupied rooms (bedrooms, living room, study, lounge etc.). The result for your home is continuous ventilation with minimum heat loss. The MTD-ERV product range ensures optimum heat recovery ventilation for your home. A range of complementary products including MTD Comfofond geothermal heat exchangers, MTD-ERV Ventilation equipment and Eco-Air distribution systems will ensure your household s health, while being kinder to the environment. - 4 -
Indoor Air and Sound Quality Designers for the MTD-ERV product range are proud of their attention to detail, in particular their commitment to noise reduction in the home. In addition to considering the noise of the unit itself, MTD designers considered the system layout, the type of air valve or grille; and both volume, and velocity. MTD air distribution systems provide superior levels of acoustic performance, and have been certified as such. These systems have also been fire tested and certified.

The Importance of Indoor Air Quality The importance of air quality to good health cannot be overstated. Unfortunately, pollution in the air is not easily spotted and there is currently no legislation with regard to air quality in the home. The MTD-ERV product range is intelligently designed to provide the highest levels of filtration and earnestly avoids compromising safe levels of humidity. MTD designers care about indoor air quality. With respiratory problems on the rise, MTD designs use only EU F8 filters. These filters are manufactured in Ireland and provide the highest levels of filtration in the industry. Good filtration greatly improves air quality, and helps ease respiratory discomfort. The MTD-ERV product range avoids the air drying sensation commonly found with traditional heating and air conditioning systems. Air that is too dry can lead to irritating skin conditions. MTD designs continuously deliver freshly filtered air, all at the ambient humidity level. - 6 -
