Glossary

Air Source
The space where air is taken to ventilate your home. This is either the roof cavity
or outside.
Diffuser
An attachment to help spread the flow of air. In a SmartVent Synergy3 system,
it is usually the white round air outlet mounted on the ceiling.
Dew Point
The cooler temperature at which condensation, or water droplets (dew), form
when warmer air comes in contact with a colder surface such as a window or
glass surface. The SmartVent Synergy3 system can reduce the dew point of your
indoor air and decrease the chances of condensation.
Heat Transfer
An optional add-on feature of the SmartVent Synergy3 system. The heat transfer
function takes the excess heat from your designated room and transfers it to
other areas via the SmartVent fan ducting system.
Intake Grille
An attachment to the ducting to prevent large objects being drawn into your
system. In a SmartVent system, it is usually the white, square or round air inlet
on the soffit, end of a duct in the roof space or, if you have a heat transfer
upgrade installed, in your heat source room.
Positive Pressure System
Fresh, filtered air supplied from your roof cavity or outside and distributed into
living areas in your home. This is the most common type of ventilation system
sold in New Zealand.
Recovery Core
The core part of the Synergy3 system that tempers the outside air before it is
used to ventilate the home. In winter, this will make the fresh air coming out of
your diffuser warmer than the outside air.
Synergy3 System
The SmartVent range of heat recovery or energy recovery ventilation systems.
They typically feature a ventilation method composing of a supply fan
and a extract fan with a recovery core. Synergy3 is suitable for homes
constructed after 2002.

your home.
