Reduced Condensation

Stale moist air is extracted from wetrooms to reduce condensation which often leads to mould.

Quiet in Operation

Unlike noisy extractor fans, our Mechanical Extract Ventilation (MEV) systems provide minimal disruption.

Removes Odours

As the system is continuously extracting stale air, must smells are also removed from the indoor environment.

What is Mechanical Extract Ventilation (MEV)?

An MEV system is a single, low energy mechanical extract ventilation unit that continuously ventilates from a central location using multiple extract points in wet rooms like bathrooms, wc's and kitchen areas.

How does an MEV System work?

A Mechanical Extract Ventilation (MEV) system continuously extracts stale, polluted air from rooms where most moisture is generated (e.g. kitchens and bathrooms). The low energy unit runs continuously at a low normal ventilation rate and when higher humidity is detected (i.e. when showering) the system automatically boosts. An indicator panel allows the user to monitor functionality and the system can be manually boosted if required using a boost switch.

Benefits of Mechanical Extract Ventilation

Designed to continuously extract moisture-laden air out of wet rooms, whilst minimising the migration of humidity to other rooms, a BEAM Mechanical Extract Ventilation system offers a range of benefits.

Clean indoor air moving through building

Improves indoor air quality

An MEV system creates a healthier living or working environment as it continuously extracts stale, damp air from wetrooms within the building, minimising the migration of humidity to other rooms.

Significant energy savings

With a BEAM Mechanical Extract Ventilation System, property owners can make significant energy savings as there is no need for extractor fans in each wetroom which create draughts, air leakage and heat loss. It is also much more economical to run one central fan instead of multiple single fans.

Demand controlled humidity sensor

Enjoy greater control of your ventilation. The low energy unit runs consistently at a low normal ventilation rate and when higher humidity levels are detected (i.e. when showering) the system reacts to the demand and automatically boosts, returning to a normal fan speed when humidity levels drop.

Health benefits

As MEV systems improve indoor air quality, this can have a positive impact on building occupants. By removing moist, stale air along with other pollutants, symptoms of respiratory conditions and allergies are greatly reduced.
