What is CMEV?

CMEV (Continuous Mechanical Extract Ventilation) continuously removes air from wet rooms without recovering heat.

It's cheaper and simpler than MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery), making it a practical option for homes where full heat recovery isn’t a priority or budget is limited.

How does it work?

The machine is connected via 90mm semi-rigid ducting to each bathroom, kitchen and utility.

It will monitor the air from each and ramp up and down depending on humidity. You also have the option of boosting the extraction with a switch located centrally.

What you extract must be replaced - the replacement air must come in through vents in the wall or windows.

What else do I need to know?

It has the advantage of being a much cheaper option than previous as there is no heat recovery and it has halve the amount of ducting.

Now this is only practical if you are building or doing major renovation or if you have access to the complete attic space.
