Comfort 600<br />
and CT150 Install<br />
into 600 m/2<br />
Sussex Home<br />
NILAN UK were appointed by a builder of large scale country homes<br />
(Edenbriar Ltd) to provide MVHR to this 600m/2 Low Energy Family home in Sussex.<br />
Due to the layout it was agreed that the easier option would be to provide two<br />
correctly sized units to service each end of the home.<br />
The ductwork is a hybrid system of rigid metal<br />
spiral and 75mm semi rigid radial ducting.<br />
Some of the ductwork is installed into the<br />
insulation prior to the Underfloor Heating and<br />
Screed being installed, in this case to avoid the<br />
many steels spanning the somewhat immense<br />
Lounge/Kitchen/Entertaining Area. The supply<br />
air then terminates in floor boxes with a<br />
brushed aluminium grille to finish.<br />
Our smallest Passive House Approved unit<br />
(CT150 185m3/hr duty) was employed to the<br />
Annexe part of the house servicing a bedroom<br />
and en-suite area and also the large office above<br />
the 3 vehicle garage.<br />
In the larger portion of the house the unit chosen<br />
was the Comfort 600 (600m3/hr) simply due to<br />
the high duty rate required by the large open<br />
plan spaces.<br />

All units have integral control for humidity and<br />
Co2. Should the house be full of people at a<br />
party for instance the unit will adjust its fan<br />
speed automatically to bring down the Co2<br />
levels. This is in addition to our standard 7 day<br />
programmer.
