Heating & Ventilation
Gaia’s underfloor heating
can benefit everyone
When specifying heating in
domestic properties, underfloor
heating (UFH) is increasingly seen
as the system that offers the levels
of energy efficiency and comfort
required. In design terms, UFH
provides the added benefit that,
unlike radiators, it does not have
an impact on interior aesthetics
and layouts.
This leaves just one perplexing
issue; whether to opt for a wet
(hydronic) system or an electric
system.
Both offer advantages and
disadvantages. Wet UFH systems
circulate water heated to around
45-50ºC through loops of pipe laid
into the screed of solid floors or
the joists of suspended timber
floors.
The low temperature of the water
used makes these systems energy
efficient and ideally suited to use
with air or ground source heat
pumps or district heating systems.
Electric systems use a continuous
cable, either laid within the screed
or supplied as a mat which is laid
above the subfloor.

Vectaire
Vectaire’s MVHRs – vertical and
horizontal – are all low energy
products with EC motors and
ensure optimum ventilation and
air quality together with low noise
levels, running costs and excellent
SFP ratings.
They can now be commissioned
via an LCD screen. The upright
whole house heat recovery units –
the Midis and the Maxis - offer the
option of either an integral LCD or
a remote LCD commissioning unit,
whilst the in-line EVO250 and Mini
can be commissioned using the
remote unit.
Thus, the commissioning engineer
can easily adjust detailed unit
functions including, for example,
the trickle, purge and boost
speeds for each motor, the length
of the boost speed over-run time,
the time delay before the boost
speed kicks in, holiday mode
and night-time boost. These
products are SAP PCDB Listed and
manufactured in our own factory
in the UK.
