Recuperation is the professional word for mechanical ventilation. Traditional ventilation works by sucking in air, but this does not remove moisture from the house and cools it down. The recuperator, a device necessary for ventilation, produces air in two directions at the same time, one of which is dirty and warm air, the other is clean and cold. It is thanks to anemostats – grids on the ceiling and wall – that dirty air is extracted from the rooms. The recuperator contains two ventilation ducts, fresh air is distributed throughout the house and dirty air is removed outside.
For allergy sufferers, heat recovery is a great convenience because it allows heating fresh air, while removing all pollutants and allergens, which cannot be achieved by simply airing the room. Any cigarette smoke or smoke from chimneys will not be a problem, because recuperation is based on bringing only fresh, clean air into your home.
