MVHR Building ventilation install in my garden room

Building ventilation is one of the most crucial factors in the design and construction of any building of any size. It is crucial to consider building ventilation whether its a small outdoor studio or a whole house or even an office building.
I am using a Mechanical ventilation and heat recovery unit that will remove the wet stale air from the bathrooms and other wet areas recover the heat and mix that with a constant supply of fresh air, the all in one unit that we are using is energy efficient has a heat pump built in that will heat the hot water tank and then once that is taken care of the excess energy will be able to heat or cool the incoming air, this building is air tight and highly insulated and the unit may be all we need to heat the property even in cold outdoor temperatures

This place needs listing on Airbnb when completed. It will get booked out for the hole year.😅😅😅😅

Having that 90° bend on the main run immediately before the manifold is poor design and should have been avoided

[@roryorr5048]

I really enjoy your videos thank you!! but I do chuckle when I see the title garden room! That “garden room” is unreal !!! 👍

[@gordysevenzero3244]

It's a bit like Prince Harry's ten-bedroom 'cottage'!😂

[@bricklayersworldwithandy6277]

Amazing technology 👌, you never know one day someone might invent the open fire and sash window,😁

[@videogalore]

Gone are the days of 25% efficiency when burning things thankfully! Here's to cleaner air!

[@ehamster]

In the Skill Builder Capel 1 episode you talked of running gas pipe up to the garden room. I assumed the main reason behind that was heating the pool? Now you are saying you’ll never have gas there. Even at current prices I’d have thought gas heating would be cheaper, unless you have plans for a large amount of solar? Also looks like the mezzanine sleeping area has been ditched. Look forward to seeing more on this build.

[@ukconstruction]

I decided long ago to ditch the Gas Idea, instead I have an amazingly well insulated concrete pool shell, an over insulated structure and I have also researched all manor of heating and ventilation solutions that will do the work in an energy efficient manor, I will be doing a video all about this as we fire everything up in a few months!!

Breath of fresh air this channel

Thats good Jon!!

Very interesting video. Nice to learn something different and to know about this stuff in case you ever come across it. I was once asked to go and repair the "fan" in the bathroom and it turned out to be mvhr. I had to spend some time learning about it while on site. It's very interesting and makes a lot of sense to recycle the heat

[@edmundirwin]

Robin drawback with this approach is the underside of the ducting is in contact with the uninsulated subfloor floor so you will have heat losses to ground

[@martindorrance8133]

Hi Robin. Can you explain how this system gets rid of moisture when heat is recovered from moist air? Great video as usual.

[@paulcloona9331]

Im very interested in ventilation and MVHR learning the whole time. Looking forward to the next video on commission and floor screed 👌

[@bobgale2864]

Hi can this MVHR be fitted into a lofted which is going to be a self contained flat. the area is about 50-60m2, and how much?

[@paulzirker706]

Looking forward to see how you insulation the floor now Robin an these clips and tracks mentioned

[@DelH555]

really interesting build this one 👍🏻 looking forward to the screed pour

[@ukconstruction]

Yes, I am doing a full video all about it, it will hit my channel in about 3 weeks time

[@DelH555]

@@ukconstruction Nice, thanks Robin.

[@AsadMulla]

The one I went out to repair was also connected to the cooker hood extraction

[@James-gh3mh]

Does this go into the room with the swimming pool?

[@simontibbitts458]

Nice video. Interesting to see the pipework in the slab. What is the make/model of the MVHR? Is it Nilan?

[@ukconstruction]

Yes Simon, it's a Nilan Compact P with electric boiler module

[@videostarish]

How would you clean out all the dust & grime out of the underfloor pipes after 30 years or so...? 🤔

[@ukconstruction]

They are large pipes so you could easily push a vacuum hose through them, it's a good question too, if they are constantly blowing or sucking then technically they should stay pretty clean??? Let's hope!!

[@jtrent90]

Do the fresh air supply vents work better in the floor than in the ceiling like is typical? seems like a good idea I've only fitted it once and we had everything in the ceiling

[@ukconstruction]

I reckon that it would be better in the floor especially when it is heating the air in the winter, I will let you know in about 3 months!!!

[@phil2544]

Why didn't you run the blue pipes above the ceiling?

[@ukconstruction]

The roof space is a vaulted cold roof design, and we designed the floor build up to accommodate the ducting

[@nick878]

Hi Robin, this is a long shot but would you have the RAL colour of those lovely windows please?

[@ukconstruction]

Hi Nick, this is RAL 7048 Pearl Mouse grey, it's a pearlescent colour

[@nick878]

[@adamjwhite50]

Hi robin ,how come sparks have used lsf cable in garden room?

[@ukconstruction]

This is what we mainly use now everywhere

[@adamjwhite50]

@@ukconstruction nice ,just wondered as we use it mostly in commercial but never in domestic ,guess your going belt and braces

[@lukepeacham9663]

Good job. You have built a self sufficient house that you could live in.

[@ukconstruction]

The funny thing is that if you build over a certain square meterage then the structure has to comply with all the same building regs as a proper dwelling... even though you could never class it as a dwelling!!!

[@lukepeacham9663]

@@ukconstruction That’s red tape for you. The solar should run the MVHR system. I want to build small affordable homes the same way. Thank you for the valuable insight.

[@lhfloors]

It’s looking really good Robin I would love to know when everything is finished including the pool area as well how much electricity it will be using on a daily basis as electric is so expensive at the moment best to be moving swiftly towards a solution on what solar etc you can use instead of the grid many thanks
