EnviroVent, a manufacturer of sustainable ventilation systems for residential dwellings, has introduced a new decentralised Mechanical Extract Ventilation (dMEV) unit that it expects will have a big impact on the new build sector.
QURO is set to be a ‘best in class’ product that incorporates the latest fan technology achieving noise levels below 9 dB(A) at 3m. It comes with constant volume technology, ensuring that the selected airflow rate is able to be achieved at a range of pressures without manual adjustments.
Performance is guaranteed as EnviroVent’s QURO has low specific fan power (SFP) down to 0.08 W/l/s, which means the fan operates in the most efficient manner. Compliant with Building Regulations Approved Document F for Continuous Extract Ventilation within dwellings, QURO is listed on the SAP PCDB (Product Characteristics Database).
QURO has a stylish, compact low-profile design, making it ideal for the specification and new build market, with the flexibility to be wall or ceiling mounted – and it has a small footprint of 175mm x 175mm. A powerful ventilation unit, QURO is capable of meeting the requirements of all the wet rooms in a property, including the kitchen, bathroom, utility, ensuite and WC.
Ruth MacEachern, Product Manager at EnviroVent, explains, “EnviroVent is really excited about the release of this innovative new ventilation unit, as part of its commitment to supporting the new build sector. QURO offers low SFP down to 0.08 W/l/s and a maximum power consumption of only 4.5 Watts, making this a leading energy efficient ventilation solution.
“Housebuilders and specifiers are increasingly seeking ventilation solutions that are compliant with the Future Homes and Building Standard, as well as being compact in design and offering minimal noise disturbance. QURO is the perfect solution for a wide variety of new build applications.”
As part of enhancing energy efficiency, QURO has been aerodynamically optimised and uses a low watt DC motor, providing reduced energy consumption and increased efficiency with enhanced sustainability.
Featuring an Auto Intelligent Timer, QURO automatically varies the over-run timer period, depending upon how long the fan has been in operation. The auto timer can also be turned off and a standard fixed time period timer can be used instead.
It also features Auto Intelligent Humidity, which means the fan speed can respond in direct correlation to changes in relative humidity, therefore enhancing comfort for occupiers.
QURO incorporates integral controls via a display on the side of the unit. This display offers the user the ability to control the unit, including the fan, speed, timer, humidity (model depending) as well as viewing the period of time the fan has been in operation, current running status and any potential errors identified.
QURO has been designed to be low maintenance with no filter needed. Cleaning is simple, as the fan cover can easily be removed and wiped with a cloth to remove any dust or build-up.
QURO is also straightforward to install and provides flexible set up with five selectable trickle speeds of 5, 8, 11, 13 and 16l/s, allowing the fan to be commissioned to suit a range of property needs. It also offers a selectable boost speed between 20 and 30l/s which can be selected using the side display.
