 | MVHR Maintenance: Good Practice Guide This document provides comprehensive guidance on the maintenance and management of individual Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) units in multi-residential developments. It is intended to serve as a practical resource for clients, maintenance teams, and service personnel. With detailed instructions on service intervals, troubleshooting, and best practices, this guide ensures that MVHR systems are maintained efficiently, promoting energy savings, optimal performance, and good indoor air quality. | 2024 | Passivhaus Trust (PHT), UK |
 | Research Report - The case for MVHR The paper discusses Mechanical Ventilation and Heat Recovery (MVHR) systems in UK homes, which extract warm but potentially stale air from bathrooms, kitchens, and utility rooms. They transfer the heat to fresh outdoor air through a heat exchanger. Despite being beneficial in various domestic situations, MVHR systems are relatively niche in the UK, with trickle ventilation and single-room extract fans being more commonly used. The paper challenges this convention and advocates for wider adoption of MVHR systems in both new-build and retrofit projects. | 2020 | Passivhaus Trust (PHT), UK |
 | Technical Guidance - Good practice guide to MVHR for single dwellings Passivhaus guidelines lack need explicit requirements for MVHR system specification, leading to consiconsistently disputes. The document provides specific design guidance for MVHR systems in single dwellings, complementing the ventilation protocol worksheet. Qualified and experienced parties, including Passivhaus consultants and ventilation designers, are recommended for successful implementation. This guidance serves as an addendum to the 'How to build a Passivhaus: Rules of thumb' document, offering valuable design insights not found elsewhere. | 2018 | Passivhaus Trust (PHT), UK |

 | The right time for heat pumps in retrofit This paper explores the implications of installing an air source heat pump at different levels of fabric improvement by modelling some typical light and deep retrofit scenarios, using PHPP to estimate energy demand & running costs.It aims to answer the question: When should you install a heat pump in a staged retrofit? It helps clients and designers to make informed decisions in developing an optimum retrofit plan. | 2024 | Passivhaus Trust (PHT), UK |
 | Technical Guidance - Air-to-water heat pumps: The basics of energy efficiency The paper is aimed at designers at initial stages of design, and covers design choices that have a substantial impact on energy performance. It includes some simple aspects that are easy to understand, and some more complex aspects that are often missed, even by experienced services engineers. Most can be applied to any project irrespective of building energy standards. | 2024 | Passivhaus Trust (PHT), UK |
