14 MVHR Meta-study slide 14 Feedback from design/construction teams and users Re-analysis of BUS survey results: Occupant satisfaction (n=27 projects covering 211 dwellings) Online questionnaire survey (n=15 projects covering163 dwellings) Semi-structured interviews (telephone) (n=14 projects covering 158 dwellings) Design and procurement stage Construction and installation stage Post-completion stage In-use stage
15 MVHR Meta-study slide 15 BUS Methodology re-analysis user satisfaction (n=27) BUS Methodology end-user / occupant survey relating to comfort levels Chart shows aggregated results from 27 projects Despite problems with correct commissioning, occupants are mostly satisfied with comforts conditions (relating to perception of air quality)
16 MVHR Meta-study slide 16 Design and procurement stage (n=15) Design intent Survey / questionnaire results Passivhaus (Ph) projects: n=7 / non-ph projects: n=8 What was the design intent in terms of sustainability standards? Passivhaus Building Regulations 2006 Code for sustainable homes level 4 Code for sustainable homes level 5 FEES Scottish Building Regulations 2009 NI building Regs
17 MVHR Meta-study slide 17 Design and procurement stage (n=15) Most considered at design stage: location of MVHR unit Least considered at design stage: Maintenance How well were the following aspects considered at the design stage? Location of the MVHR unit Location of outlet terminals Integration of ductwork Location of control switches Location of boost switches Maintenance regime Access to filters Usability of the system and controls Acoustic design 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Poor Moderate Good Not enough information to comment No comment
18 MVHR Meta-study slide 18 Construction and installation stage (n=15) Most respondents confirm the MVHR system was installed as-designed and were satisfied with: Location of outlet terminals (n=10) and Accommodation of the system within the structure (n=8). Most dissatisfaction related to: Ducts: One-third of the respondents reported plastic (rigid) ductwork as main type used, More than half reported some instances of flexible ductwork. Installer procedures and competence (n=6) and Quality of ductwork (n=6) Most common commissioning issue was an imbalance between supply and extract airflows (n=7)
19 MVHR Meta-study slide 19 Post-completion and handover stage (n=15) Over half the projects (n=8) provided occupant training on use and maintenance of MVHR, and followups About 10 projects provided operational instructions over and above manufacturers guidance. What guidance or training were provided to the occupants to operate the MVHR system? Manufacturer's guidance only Follow-up a few weeks after occupancy to gauge user understanding Training with technical expert Training with tenant/customer liaison officer Specific instructions for maintenance (such as changing of filters) of MVHR system Specific instructions for operating the MVHR system Instructions provided as part of Home user guide 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Yes No Don't know
20 MVHR Meta-study slide 20 In-use stage (n=15) A majority of systems achieve good IAQ and satisfactorily control moisture levels Is the ventilation system performing as intended? Supply/extract meeting building regulations Achieves good indoor quality Controls moisture levels Boost sufficient for minimum boost flow rate in building regulations Is a humidity/co2 sensor present (that adjusts the ventilation rate) Is the humidity/co2 sensor effective 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Yes No Don't know / N/A No response
21 MVHR Meta-study slide 21 In-use stage: operational issues Most prevalent operational issue: Maintenance filter cleaning / replacement Did the occupants experience any operational issues with the MVHR system? Display too complex Imbalance between supply and extract Fan speed too low Fan speeds too high Maintenance - filter cleaning/replacement Continuity of service Unacceptable noise made by the system Low temperature High temperature/overheating 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% Yes No Don't know No response
22 MVHR Meta-study slide 22 In-use stage Performance issues between Passivhaus and non-ph projects IAQ problems Draughts or other discomfort Unacceptable noise Low temperatures High temperatures Number of projects with reported issues Passivhaus (n=7) Non-Ph (n=8)
23 MVHR Meta-study slide 23 Summary Does MVHR work? Yes, when it works well But a lot can go wrong Failure of a ventilation system (or occupant switch off) in a house with no alternative may be a problem 'you can always open the windows but what if you can t?... or don t?
24 MVHR Meta-study slide 24 Conclusions Ventilation is not being adequately designed Too low on the priority list, leading to poor integration and quality MVHR was adopted for achieving high code compliance in most projects Compliance if met at design stages not seen through to commissioning stages Even after re-commissioning, some of the units did not perform satisfactorily (air flow, noise, cold air, etc.) How can commissioning quality improve? Occupant understanding appeared to be better in dwellings which had a graduated handover, hands-on training and guidance document
25 MVHR Meta-study slide 25 Conclusions (cont d) In a third of the projects, MVHR was perceived by occupants to be the cause of high fuel bills as it is 'always on and thus disabled. Intent: MVHR used as a cost-effective solution for ventilation Poor overview of the whole process Systems often fitted with a fit and forget mentality Maintenance someone else s problem! Contrary to manufacturer guidance, filters had to be changed every 3 months (at least) Questions remain: What conditions can be maintained with a sub-optimal system performance? What are the energy penalties for under-performance?
