Ventilation

Devon House delivers high specification measures to ensure proper ventilation and to introduce air exchange and filter measures that are above the required regulations. These measures eliminate any need to open windows for ventilation or temperature adjustments.

A Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR) system increases the amount of outside air circulating within. This system works together with a second ventilation system to provide two air changes per hour.

An enhanced filtration system reduces the level of nitrous oxide brought into the building. This filtration system has pollutant gas filters for the removal of NO2, NOX, SO2, O3, and VOC, plus particulate filters for removal of particulate matter 10 micrometers or less in diameter. These are similar to the systems installed in hospital settings.
