Specification:
The Ventive Windhive is a roof-mounted Passive Ventilation system with Heat Recovery (PVHR™), designed to provide high thermal efficiency and consistent airflow using natural ventilation. It includes sensors to monitor temperature and air quality, adapting performance in real-time. The system is passive, reducing carbon emissions and operating costs, and operates silently without fans or motors.
System Performance:
The system provides ventilation at 200 litres per second with zero energy cost and achieves up to 72% heat recovery. It also offers night-time cooling, providing 4 air changes per hour and reducing indoor temperature by up to 10°C.
System Operations:
The Windhive operates in three modes: Full heat recovery for winter, Bypass mode for spring/autumn, and Passive cooling for summer. Each mode adjusts to maintain optimal air quality and temperature.
Components:
Key components include the Windhive Roof mounted Cowl, Heat Exchanger Core, Actuated Diffuser Box, External Diffuser, Ducted Plenum Box, Wall/Window Louvre, and Ventive Hub Controls.
Controls:
The system includes a CO2 sensor with traffic light indicators for air quality, automatically calibrating and providing outputs for CO2 concentration, temperature, and humidity.
Wiring Detail:
The manual includes a standard wiring diagram, specifying the use of RS458 for controller wiring and n-core YY cable for power and supply wiring.
Maintenance:
The Windhive requires minimal maintenance, with firmware updates installed remotely. Systems are monitored weekly for a year to ensure proper operation.
Warranty Period:
The Windhive unit has a 1-year warranty from the date of commissioning, covering faults and defects, but excluding damage from external factors.

2. Specification Ventive Windhive is a roof-mounted Passive Ventilation system with Heat Recovery (PVHR™). PVHR is a patented method of delivering high thermal efficiency and consistent air flow using natural ventilation systems, by securely transferring the heat from exhaust air to fresh incoming air. The Ventive Windhive has several sensors that constantly monitor the temperature and air quality within classrooms and other school spaces. The sensors communicate with the system’s actuators to adapt performance to changing conditions in real time. The parameters set will ensure a comfortable...
