Indoor air
quality
What do we breathe?
Every day, we spend about 90% of our time indoors, mainly
at home and in the workplace. Confined environments have a
limited amount of air, which we consume with every breath.
People take on average 22,000 breaths a day, processing
about 12,000 litres of air through their lungs.
Indoor air is up to
20 times more polluted
It is important for our health to breathe air
that is clean, rich in oxygen and free of the
pollutants that unfortunately accumulate
and concentrate in closed, stuffy rooms. As
confirmed by numerous studies, indoor air
can be 5 to 20 times more polluted than
outdoor air. Without proper ventilation,
indoor air tends to deteriorate, becoming
saturated with harm
ful substances that
can be very dangerous to health.
Harmful elements include ultra-fine dust,
fumes, combustion gases, formaldehyde,
volatile organic compounds released by
chemical detergents, glues and furniture
materials. Then there are pollutants of
biological origin – microorganisms such
as allergens, moulds, bacteria and
viruses carried by aerosols – and those
of physical origin such as the dreaded
radon gas.
12
Particulates
Main pollutants
and health impacts
cause eye, nose and
throat irritation and
breathing problems,
headaches, fatigue
and low concentration.
Prolonged contact
can lead to heart and
respiratory diseases.
Viruses
viral agents can be
emitted simply by
coughing or breathing
and circulate in the
air in the form of
bioaereosols
for some time
Mould
releases spores
that are harmful to
health and cause
allergies
Humidity
causes condensation,
mould and proliferation
of dust mites
VOCs
airborne substances,
including formaldehyde,
which can cause

ract irritation
or central nervous
system disorders
Radon
an odourless natural gas
released from the ground;
it is highly carcinogenic
in cases of prolonged
exposure
CO2
in excessive
concentrations, such as
when experiencing the
sensation of stale air, it
causes headaches and
difficulty in concentration

How
it works
stale indoor air is extracted
stale air is expelled outside
fresh outside air is conveyed inside
intake air is filtered and pre-heated
Helty Flow: continuous air renewal
and filtration
All Helty ventilation units are
decentralised HRVs with
dual continuous flow and
counter-current crossed
airflows. Stale air, saturated
with humidity and CO2, is
extracted from indoor areas
and forced to flow into the
heat exchanger where –
without contact between
the two flows – its heat is
transferred to the incoming
airflow simultaneously
pumped in from outside.
PM10
14
PM2.5
The fresh air, which is richer
in oxygen, is pre-heated
and purified by a highp
erformance filter that
traps smog, particulates
and pollen. This technology
provides constant and
balanced air exchange
in closed environments,
ensuring superior
performance in terms
of energy efficiency, air
purification and indoor
comfort.
Purified air
Healthy living and
energy saving
Energy saving is optimised
by the enthalpy heat
exchanger, which recovers
up to 91% of the heat of
the expelled air at the outlet.
Performance is certified by
TÜV SÜD according to the
EN 13141-8 standard. The F7
filter (ePM 65%) prevents
the entry not only of dust and
pollen but also of PM10 and
PM2.5 particles, safeguarding
the healthy quality of the
air you breathe in your
home. The silent operation
and proven noise reduction
performance on external
building walls contribute to
optimal acoustic comfort.
The benefits of HRV
it ensures that ambient air is always renewed and rich in oxygen
it counteracts the airborne spread of viruses and bacteria
it filters outdoor air from fine dust and pollen
it
removes excess humidity, counteracting condensation and mould problems
it disperses indoor CO2 and airborne pollutants
it decreases allergens and mites
it reduces fumes and bad smells
it mitigates the risk of radon gas

The design cover
incorporates dimmable
and timer-controlled LEDs
on the sides to create
atmospheric accessory
lighting, particularly suitable
for living room installations.
Operation is automatically
regulated by the humidity,
CO2 and VOC sensors, to
prevent excessive pollutant
concentrations, increase
air renewal and improve
oxygenation.
Healthy air within
reach of your app
The 'Color Trust' light sensor
indicates the air quality
in the home, intuitively
informing you when
indoor pollutant levels are
acceptable or too high.
The Air Guard app makes
the HRV even easier to use
by providing integrated
management of controlled
mechanical ventilation
systems and also providing
air quality level readings
detected by sensors.

Installation
Flow wall-mounted HRV
With wall-mounted HRV
systems, installation is plug
& play. Fitting requires two
small 8 cm core-drilled holes
in the masonry, insertion and
sealing of the conduit in the
masonry section, fixing the
unit to the wall with pressure
screws, electrical connection
and positioning the external
grilles. If the optional 10 cm
conduit kit is used, the grilles
can be installed directly from
inside the house.
For more details, please refer
to the instruction manual.
For improved air distribution
and optimal acoustic
comfort, the recommended
installation position a central
point of a wall of the room
to be ventilated, as high as
possible (compatibly with
the minimum recommended
distances) and preferably in
a horizontal configuration.

Point-wise
HRV: solution
comparison
Point-wise HRV is the ideal solution for the renewal of air in
rooms and homes where it is either impossible or inconvenient
to create a
ducted air distribution system. The alternative in
these cases is between single alternating flow HRV systems
and dual continuous flow HRV systems. Here are some
aspects to consider carefully in order to make an informed
choice.
Point-wise HRV with single
alternating flow (push-pull)
Decentralised devices with
single alternating cyclic flow
are also called "push-pull"
because of their operation
which consists of two phases
in which the air is alternately
pushed out of and pulled
into the rooms in which they
are installed. In the first
phase, extracted air passes
through a porous ceramic
regenerative recuperator,
yielding its waste heat.
In the following phase, cold
external air travels through
the ceramic element and
absorbs part of the previously
accumulated heat. Studies
and experiments recently
conducted on this category of
equipment have shown that
the average heat recovery
efficiency is rather low, in
the order of about 20%,
compared to peak values
measured during the very firs
t
seconds of each cycle, which
can reach 90%.
These systems are very simple
and inexpensive but they
have low air intake filtration
capacity.
Example of point-wise singleconduit alternate single-flow HRV,
also known as push-pull type
30
In addition, since they operate
with two phases, one for
intake and one for extraction,
this category of equipment
is permanently unbalanced,
i.e. it alternately generates
depression and over-pressure
in the rooms.
To overcome this drawback,
the equipment must be
installed in pairs with the
operating cycles reversed and
synchronised so that when
one intakes the other extracts
and vice versa, with the
inevitable doubling of costs.
Only by installing the two
devices in this way can the
effective flow rates be equal
to those of a single device,
with two balanced flows.
Point-wise HRV with dual
continuous flow
This category of equipment
offers more efficient and
constant heat recovery
efficiency, which reaches and
even exceeds values of 90%.
They are u
sually designed
and built to correctly serve
the ventilation needs of a
single room or of rooms with
a maximum surface area of
20 or 30 square metres, but
they have the undoubted
advantage of being easy to
install and maintain.
The most modern
decentralised controlled
mechanical ventilation
systems are those with dual
continuous flow, equipped
with a high efficiency heat
exchanger, preferably of the
enthalpy type and with forced
filtration of intake air.
They are built around two
electric fans of equal
capacityy serving the same
room, one extracting stale air
and the other simultaneously
taking in fresh air. The two
airflows, extraction and
intake, are simultaneous
and pass through the heat
exchanger without ever
coming into contact or
contaminating each other.
Today's decentralised
dual-flow balanced
systems represent the best
combination of functionality,
low consumption as well
as ease and economy of
installation, maintenance and
operation.

Flow40
Zero bulk, maximum comfort
Helty Flow40 is a
decentralised solution
built into masonry; it is an
ideal solution for renovation
contexts and energy requalification projects.
The HRV becomes invisible,
combining excellent air
renewal performance with
no footprint: Flow40 does
not require ducting or false
ceilings and leaves only the
cover visible, available in a
white pre-painted metal
version or in white
or black
Plexiglas. The concealed
system is housed in a
prepared Expanded
Polystyrene recess,
adaptable to walls of
varying thickness, which
can be fitted during
construction and completed
with HRV units and covers at
a later date.
36
The HRV unit is equipped
with a dual cross-flow
counter-current enthalpy
heat exchanger, with 91%
recovery efficiency and
dual F7 + G4/G2 filter
that purifies the fresh air
and safeguards system
performance. It has a
sensor which continuously
monitors humidity to provide
automatic ventilation
regulation. The electronic
free-cooling function
contributes to passive
cooling by introducing
fresh air into the home
in favourable outdoor
temperature conditions.

Installation
Built-in recessed HRV
Preparing for the installation of Helty Flow HRV devices is a
three-step process:
1. a rectangular hole is cut into the wall according to the
shape required by the type of device to be installed (see
pages 42 and 43);
2. the recess casing
is fitted in the wall, including external
vents and the edges are then sealed with flexible
polyurethane foam;
3. the HRV unit is connected to the power supply and the
inner cover is fitted.
For more details, please refer to the instruction manual.
The preparatory housing can be purchased separately for
prior installation in the masonry during the construction
phase; it can then be completed at any time later with the
assembly of the HRV device and cover.

Built-in recessed HRV
Comparative
analysis of
HRV systems
The design of NZEB structures and the energy re-qualification
of the existing building heritage confirm HRV devices as
an indispensable element in the options related to the
air conditioning and health quality of buildings. Energy
sustainability goals cannot ignore the economic sustainability
of investments, i.e. a comparative approach aimed at defining
the overall cost of a plant solution, taking into account not
only the initial purchase price but also the costs to be incurred
for maintenance and use throughout the life of the system.
An analysis by AI studio
A comparative technical
and financial analysis was
carried out to compare the
decentralised point-wise
HRV system with the two main
alternative types of HRV on the
market: centralised ventilation
and stand
-alone ducted
ventilation. The assessment
was conducted by AI Studio,
a leading design company
specialising in consulting,
management and application
of sustainability standards in
buildings.
44
The study outlines the
characteristics of the HRV
systems considered by
examining their technical
aspects – system architecture,
air ducts, filtration, regulation
systems, acoustic aspects,
system maintenance – and
economic aspects in the case
of different types of buildings:
two-roomed apartments,
three-roomed apartments,
small villas and multioccupancy buildings up to
64 units.
The assessments were carried
out for a "typical floor" and,
within the standard floor, for
the 4 individual apartments
of which it is composed.
For the assessment to be
representative, the analysis
was conducted considering
the climate data of four
cities with different climates:
Bolzano, Milan, Rome and
Palermo.
Centralised
HRV plant
A ventilation unit with heat recovery,
generally located on the roof;
it ser
ves several housing units with air
distribution and extraction networks,
each connected to its own fan.
Centralised HRV plant
with independent
ducting
One ventilation unit with heat
recovery for each dwelling, with
dual air supply network for intake
and extraction.
Decentralised
HRV point-wise
plant
A dual-flow point-wise ventilation
unit for each room with heat
recovery and air filtration,
without air ducts.
45
Built-in recessed HRV
Comparison parameters
and results
For each of the three types
of controlled mechanical
ventilation, the system was
simulated in terms of the
materials and labour required
for its construction. To ensure
a comparable assessment, the
review addressed equipment
with similar overall airflow
rates, filtration levels and
energy recovery efficiency.
The economic indicators
considered are:
//
construction cost (plant and
structural works for both
common areas and individual
apartments of salable
surface area per shaft)
//
running cost (electrical
and
thermal energy for
ventilation; maintenance,
including extraordinary
charges)
//
NPV – Net Present Value
(calculated on 5 and 10
years of plant life)
The data analysed shows
that in each of the situations
taken into consideration, the
decentralised point-wise
HRV solution is the one that
enables significant savings
to be made both on the
initial construction costs
of the system – where the
decentralised point-wise
HRV is respectively 39%
and 67% more competitive
than centralised and ducted
stand-alone systems – and
on running and maintenance
costs, where the decentralised
point-based solution is on
average between 20% and
26% more competitive than
centralised and ducted standalone HRV solutions.

when needed, i.e., based on
the actual air renewal needs of
the individual rooms of a given
building and its purpose, is in
line with EU Directive 2018/844
which introduced the "Smartness
Indicator" concept. Adapting
systems to the actual purpose of
individual rooms is an advantage
when ensuring proper ventilation
yet avoiding unnecessary energy
waste.

FlowM
70/100/150
Cabinet-mounted HRV: rational design,
ultimate air renewal performance.
With the FlowM series, the
HRV is completely housed
within a piece of furniture.
The ventilation unit is built
into in a wall-hung cabinet
with white lacquered finish
and lift-up front door. The
control panel and air intake
and extraction vents are
discreetly positioned on
both sides. The system,
which can be installed on
an external wall with two
100 mm core-drilled holes,
is available in the three
models
FlowM70/100/150,
which respectively provide
an airflow rate of up to 70,
100 and 150 cubic metres
per hour.
52
It is ideal for ensuring that
air is healthy with optimal
energy saving in closed
places such as offices and
professional premises, small
classrooms in kindergartens
and schools. The external
renewal air is purified; fine
dust, smog and pollen are
removed by an F7 filter. In
addition, the 87% efficient
enthalpy heat recovery
unit preheats the air before
introducing it into the
environment, significantly
reducing air conditioning
costs. All models provide
automatic free-cooling and
are fitted with a humidity
sensor which enables the
unit to automatically adjust
the ventilation if humidity
becomes excessive.
FlowM70/100/150PURE
The FlowM70/100/150
models are also available in
PURE versions with CO2 and
VOC sensors for monitoring
important indoor air quality
parameters and the
possibility of controlling the
HRV from iOS and Android
mobile devices using the Air
Guard app.

Flow800
Comfort and healthy living,
without wasting energy
Highly effective and silent,
Flow800 decentralised
mechanical ventilation is
designed to complement
any existing space. In this
version, the air renewal
and filtration system can
also be installed on the
ceiling, always adjacent
to external walls.
The heat recovery unit and
distribution plenum are
enclosed in a white painted
metal casing that caters for
either two 250 mm or four
125mm core-drilled through
holes.
54
Ventilation can be regulated
with ten speeds for airflow
rates up to 800 m3/h,
ideal for de-concentrating
pollutants in closed
environments. Inlet air is
pre-treated by a dual G3+F9
filter, which rids it of PM 10
and PM2.5 fine particulates,
smog, pollen and other
outdoor pollutants. The
cross-flow counter-current
enthalpy heat exchanger
has an efficiency of up to
82%: it ensures comfortable
room temperatures in winter
and helps regulate indoor
temperature even in the
hottest months.
The opinion of
AiCARR
Ventilation is all
the more necessary
the more crowded the
rooms are. AiCARR, trade
association of the HVAC
sector states that
the provision of external air
via ventilation not only
improves the quality of the
internal environment, but can
improve hygienic conditions
and deliver health benefits
by reducing the quantity of
pollutants in the environment
by dispersion and filtering.

M800
The ideal solution to convey
healthy air and comfort with elegance
FlowM800 is a high-airflow
controlled mechanical
ventilation system housed in
a vertical cabinet.
The housing of the HRV
unit in the cabinet makes
it a rational choice for
upgrading classrooms
by incorporating a
decentralised air renewal
and filtration system. The
installation requires two 250
mm core-drilled holes on
the external wall and can
be set up in a short time, not
requiring the design or fitting
of any complex air ducting.
56
It is available in versions with
air channels on the right or
left side to offer maximum
system integration flexibility.
The white-finished cabinet
with hinged doors ensures
easy access and an
aesthetically pleasing
appearance. Access
to the filters for routine
maintenance is made easy
by a lateral inspection hat
ch.
The opinion
of SIMA
The critical issue to
be addressed is how
to ensure optimal air
quality in the classroom
in terms of chemicalphysical composition and
microbiological (virus-free)
purity. This can already be
achieved with complete air
replacement on an hourly
basis, but also by investing
in controlled mechanical
ventilation technologies
with air intake filtration and
indoor air purification.
Quick assembly and versatile installation
according to the available spaces.
Detachable remote control panel

Ventilation and
risk reduction
in indoor
environments
Indoor spaces are contaminated by a broad spectrum
of biological pollutants, including plant pollen and spores,
bacteria, fungi, algae and a number of protozoa species. Their
presence can be linked to excessive humidity and ina
dequate
ventilation. Indoor air pollution by chemical, physical, and
biological agents affects the respiratory system, causes
allergies and asthma, immune system disorders, and
damages cardiovascular and nervous systems, exposed skin,
and mucous membranes.
Primary air quality
deterioration factors
Human activities indoors also produce
CO2; when present in excess, it causes
drowsiness (at times, pupils at their
school desks appear lazy because of
insufficient air renewal in the classroom).
According to a study published by the
universities of Harvard and Syracuse in
the Environmental Health Perspectives
journal, cognitive performance
decreases with rising ambient CO2 levels.
The abilities to use information, respond
to crises and develop strategies are
particularly affected.
58
And now, having to live
with Covid-19 obliges us
to rethink even more and
redesign indoor areas where
people can find themselves
crowded in confined spaces.
Ensuring effective air
replacement and purified
ai
r in school classrooms,
kindergartens, hotels,
offices, bars and
restaurants, cinemas,
and theatres is essential
to counteract infection
risks. Bioaerosol particles
(droplets) of less than 10
microns produced by simply
breathing, talking, singing,
coughing or sneezing can
circulate in the air for hours
in enclosed spaces lacking
adequate air renewal. If
such droplets are emitted by
positive, yet asymptomatic,
individuals, they can be
inhaled by others and cause
infection (this applies to
Covid-19 but also to ordinary
seasonal influenza). In
addition to health risks linked
to the possible spread of
pathogens, air quality also
deteriorates due to factors
such as fine dust, VOCs and
possible underground radon
gas emissions.
The Italian National
Institute of Health (ISS)
has issued specific
guidelines on the careful
management of air renewal
following reports drawn
up by its National Indoor
Pollution Study Group and
recommendations published
by the UNESCO Chair
for Health Education and
Su
stainable Development in
collaboration with the Italian
Society of Environmental
Medicine (SIMA).
However, natural ventilation
by opening windows has
several disadvantages:
opening windows for at
least 5 minutes every hour
means letting in air that is
very cold in winter or very
hot in summer, unnecessarily
dissipating energy expended
for ambient heating or
cooling. Furthermore,
opening windows does not
hinder smog, pollen and
allergens that make indoor
air unhealthy.
The positive effects
of HRV in classrooms
and offices
//
A comfortable
micro-climate, with stable
temperature and properly
controlled humidity,
contributes to physical
well-being and improves
learning
//
The reduction of excess
CO2 avoids drowsiness,
fatigue and headaches,
improving concentration
and attention
//
The dispersal and
extraction of volatile
organic compounds,
fine dust and biological
pollutants (moulds)
reduces the risks of
allergies and respiratory
problems

It enables you to turn on the LEDs and adjust
their intensity(2).
Ventilation adjustment: it enables you to set
the 4 different air renewal speeds according to the
room's ventilation requirements.
Night mode: HRV fan speed and LED brightness
are reduced to minimum, providing continuous
and silent air renewal and ensuring high-quality rest.
Keep
ing the button pressed completely deactivates
the LEDs.
Hyperventilation: airflow is boosted to the maximum
for faster air renewal and forced room ventilation
for short periods.
Free Cooling/Free Heating: an intelligent technology
that provides natural indoor cooling: if the outside air has
a lower temperature than inside, the HRV suspends the
heat recovery function before air is introduced into the
room, thus maintaining optimal thermal conditions. This
way, naturally fresh air is conveyed indoors to create
a natural air conditioning effect. This technology is
particularly beneficial during summer nights and between
seasons when outdoor temperatures are more agreeable.
Conversely, with Free Heating you can take advantage
of the warmer air outside between seasons or on warm
winter days.
Filter replacement alert: this warns you when it is
time to replace the filter to safeguard
the unit's operational performance.

The Environment:
let's not waste
energy
The environment, sustainability and well-being are all
subje
cts of major concern for Helty. This is why we promote
not only the creation of healthier and more comfortable
homes and offices, but also a culture of energy saving, and
this is manifested in the high performance of our products.
Indeed, Helty Flow recovers up to 91% of the thermal energy
that would normally be dispersed by opening windows for
adequate room ventilation.
This heat is then used to warm up the incoming air, thus
providing significant savings on air conditioning costs, both
for winter heating and summer cooling.
Minimal
energy
consumption
The enthalpy heat exchanger also
recovers any latent heat contained
in air humidity, thus achieving even
greater savings. Furthermore, Helty Flow
technology consumes less than 150 Wh
per day, a quantity of electricity so low
that keeping them running constantly
costs less than 3 cents a day.
With a Controlled Mechanical Ventilation
system with high-efficiency heat
recovery such as Helty Flow, optimal
indoor air management is achieved,
w
ithout wasting energy and reducing
consumption and environmental pollution.
