HRV Air Conditioning System

The main house at Bamber House has an HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilation) System installed in the ceiling cavity.The HRV takes warm dry air from the ceiling/roof cavity (or cool air from the south of the house during the summer days) and pumps it through the house to help control the temperature and humidity of the building.

Even during winter the roof acts like a giant solar heater. All air is filtered using an extremely fine grade of filter, filling the house with air even purer than outdoor air.

Think of it as an eco-friendly air conditioning system.Like an air conditioning unit it works best when windows and doors are closed. We realize that individual preferences differ and you may want to open windows and doors but we would appreciate it if you keep this to a minimum.The system uses roof cavity air because it is warmer and drier than outdoor air.

The HRV also pressurizes the house with this warm, dry, purified air, keeping out dusts, pollens and pollution. Consequently it reduces condensation and associated mould and mildew problems as well as odours..We have chosen this system as an eco-friendly way to help make your stay more comfortable.

Grey water management

Greywater is washwater. That is, all wastewater excepting toilet wastes and food wastes derived from garbage grinders. There are significant distinctions between greywater and toilet wastewater (called "blackwater"). These distinctions tell us how these wastewaters should be treated /managed and why, in the interests of public health and environmental protection, they should not be mixed together.
