2.7 ADF 2010 Ventilation Calculations
Design of MVHR Systems
The MVHR system has been sized for the winter period. Additional
ventilation may be required during the warmer months and it has
been assumed that the provisions for purge ventilation (e.g. openable
windows) could be used.
Step 1: For any design air permeability, determine the whole dwelling
ventilation supply rate from Table 2.
As an alternative where the design air permeability is intended to be
3
2
leakier than (>) 5m
/(h.m
) 50 Pa, allow for infiltration for all
dwelling types by subtracting from the whole dwelling ventilation
supply rate from Table 2; 0.04 x gross internal volume of the dwelling
3
heated space (m
).
Step 2: Calculate the whole dwelling extract ventilation rate by
summing the individual room rates for 'minimum high rate' from
Table 1.
(For sanitary accommmodation only, as an alternative, the purge
ventilation provisions given in ADF 2010 can be used where security
is not an issue. In this case 'minimum high extract rate' for the
sanitary accommodation should be omitted from the step 2
calculation).

Step 3: The required airflow rates are as follows:
the maximum whole dwelling extract ventilation rate (e.g. boost)
should be at least the greater of step 1 and step 2.
Note that the maximum individual room extract rate should be
at least those given in table 1. for minimum high rate.
the minimum air supply rate should be at least the whole building
ventilation rate found in step 1.
