OT - HRV healthy home ventilation 5-Mar-2010 At 10:19:52 PM goshen
Message
I've got something called a Solar Venti. It doesn't use the roofspace, but simply heats air up behind a clear panel, then pumps that heated air into the house during the day - using a solar fan, so it costs nothing to run. To be honest, it hasn't made a huge difference yet; but it'll be far more effective during winter when the temperature difference is greater when the panel is exposed to the sun, although haven't been through a winter yet.

However it does ventilate for free, so that's a plus. Also, it's got a 'night' mode (running right now), which draws cool air in at night to help cool the house at night.

We looked briefly at the HRV, but found the Solar Venti to have more benefits (eg colour of tiles does not matter).
