HRV Australia - Australasia's largest residential ventilation company
HRV Australia gave an excited Wayne Twite a Christmas bonus of over
$2,500 on Friday when his name was drawn to win his money back on the eco-friendly
solar heating and cooling system. Mr Twite was one of 100 people gathered at the
HRV head office in Oakleigh South in hope of hearing their name announced.
An HRV whole home ventilation system uses solar energy for residential space heating
without the need for solar panels, all for the running cost of a light bulb which is
approximately 8cents per 24hr day. "We wanted to thank the 'early adopters' of our
technology, which is new to Australia but has been around for years in overseas, by
throwing a bit of a party and giving someone a nice Christmas present" said Dave
Kennedy, director of HRV Australia.
The winner was drawn by Housing Industry Association (HIA) GreenSmart General Manager,
Janine Nechwatal who commended the gathering for their commitment to sustainability
for installing cost effective solutions such as HRV. Nechwatal said "HIA GreenSmart
is about exceeding the minimum building requirements to achieve environmental
responsibility and we are proud to be associated with HRV."
According to the independent studies and letters of testimony on the wall of the
HRV offices, the key benefits Mr Twite will enjoy with his new HRV are energy
efficient/low emission heating, cooling and unparalleled domestic indoor air quality.
Kennedy says HRV makes use of passive heating in the roof cavity by using the roof itself
as a giant solar panel in winter and cool night time air in summer for cooling. This
reduces the ever increasing reliance on artificial heating and cooling appliances by up
to 80% which can have a significant impact on the overall household energy consumption
and expenditure.
With modern building techniques homes are sealed tighter and tighter to keep the warmth
in and the cold out and in doing so indoor air quality is compromised and moisture is
trapped in the home, which in other countries has increased the incidence of respiratory
illness.
HRV is the only system of its type in Australia that ventilates homes with a medical
grade filter and positive pressure. This minimise's dust/pollutants entering the home
and ensures homes are flushed with clean, fresh air creating a healthier indoor
environment for homeowners and their families.
With the addition of an HRV whole home ventilation system existing heating and cooling
solutions can be used more tactically and less frequently, as much of the work creating
a comfortable temperature has already been done, thereby significantly reducing their
input energy requirements and consequently Green House Gas (GHG) emissions. There are
significant health benefits associated with breathing fresh, filtered air as opposed to
stale, re-circulated dust laden air. The running cost and energy harnessed from an HRV
along with the air quality delivered make it unique as an environmentally responsible
alternative solution for creating healthy homes, which earned HRV a place in the finals
of the HIA GreenSmart product of the year.
"45,000 HRV systems have been installed in Australasia in the last 6 years making us the
largest residential ventilation company which gives our customers a lot of confidence that
they are dealing with a proven product" said Kennedy.
