New Merseyside Apartments Boosted With EnviroVent Units

Construction News Image
A historic building in Merseyside has been transformed into a new apartment complex, complete with MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) units.

The project involved the conversion of the 'Ogden's Tobacco' building in Everton into 19 apartments, retaining many of its historic features, including high ceilings.

Social housing provider Liverpool Mutual Homes led the project, with the company's contracting arm Housing Maintenance Solutions utilising EnviroVent's energiSava 250 MVHR unit because of its intelligent vapour tracking humidity control (Intellitrac®). This feature constantly monitors the humidity levels in the dwelling and reacts instantly to even the most minor of changes in humidity levels. The intelligent system does not wait until a room has reached a fixed level of humidity (typically 70%) before increasing the airflow rates. EnviroVent's energiSava system also reduced the load on the space heating as the incoming air is tempered by the heat recovery units, which reduces the need to re-heat incoming air, therefore saving on heating bills.

Approximately 19 energiSava 250 units were installed to ensure there is a supply of fresh, clean air, providing a healthier living environment for occupants and eradicating issues with condensation and mould growth. The unit has a five year warranty, which is supported by EnviroVent's team of in-house engineers.

Liverpool Mutual Homes has been specifying EnviroVent's products for the past 12 years, so the organisation was confident of the reliability and quality of its systems.

Peter Henerty from Housing Maintenance Solutions, explained: "It was very important that we specified a ventilation solution that would create a high level of indoor air quality in our homes as part of enhancing the health and wellbeing of our residents. We have specified EnviroVent's systems for many years, so were aware of the high performance and low maintenance of the units and the technical support that the company provides."

Keith Walton, New Build Manager at EnviroVent, said: "These MVHR units are renowned for their reliability and are the ideal solution for enhancing indoor air quality and space heating at this refurbished historic building. Our MVHR systems are widely used by social housing providers for major refurbishments and within new builds to reduce issues of condensation and mould growth in properties, with all the associated health benefits for occupants."
