MVHR Design

MVHR Design

h2x enables you to create an accurate Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery aka MVHR design more efficiently with automated calculations, drawing production, and report exports.

Why Use h2x For MVHR Design?

Traditional Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery aka MVHR design can be manual and time-consuming, especially when coordinating supply and extract air volumes, duct runs, and heat recovery efficiency.

However, h2x simplifies the process by automating ventilation calculations, ductwork layout, and system balancing, helping engineers and designers deliver high-performance MVHR systems quickly and confidently.

Automated Calculations

Firstly, draw your building layout directly in h2x design software and assign rooms as supply or extract zones. Then, the platform automatically calculates the required airflow rates based on room types, use, and regulatory guidelines to give you an accurate starting point for system sizing and balancing.

System Sizing & Balancing

h2x automatically sizes the MVHR ductwork and ensures balanced airflow between supply and extract sides, improving indoor air quality and system efficiency. The software also calculates air velocities, pressure drops, and unit requirements, tailoring the design to your project's size, layout, and mechanical constraints.

Drawings

Generate professional MVHR drawings with branded title blocks, cover sheets, and notes. Export duct layouts plus equipment and grille positions in PDF or AutoCAD, so you are ready for handover, installation, or coordination with other trades and consultants.

Reports

Automatically generate a detailed materials list and ventilation report for your MVHR design. The Bill of Materials includes ductwork, valves, grilles, heat recovery units, and fittings, giving you everything needed for quoting, procurement, and installation.
