Innovations and Design

Driving system performance through innovationZehnder ventilation systems innovative technology make for less complexity, increased heat recovery efficiency, lower specific fan power and significant noise reduction.

A perfect combination of outstanding technical performance and excellent features makes ComfoAir Q the best in class achieving top efficiency ratings.

Heat recovery performance Noise reduction

Heat Recovery Performance is an important factor in unit specification as it has a direct impact on the heating load and offers savings to the homeowner.

When comparing two MVHR units with 87% and 94% heat recovery efficiency you can achieve up to a 25% reduction in heating costs (from ventilation loss) if selecting the higher performing unit.

Did you know that for every increase of 3dB (A) the sound you hear is doubled?

ComfoAir Q’s sound performance of 28*dB(A) means one competitor unit is equivalent to 8 ComfoAir Q units in operational noise!
