Introduction to Airflow Selection Software

Choosing the right ventilation system for your project can be a daunting task. Whether you’re working on a commercial building or a residential property, the need for efficient and effective ventilation is integral. That’s where Airflow’s suite of selection software comes in. Here, we’ll explore three powerful tools designed to simplify your ventilation selection process: Duplexvent, Adroit, and SelectAir. These user-friendly interfaces are set to revolutionise how you approach ventilation planning, ensuring optimal performance, energy efficiency, and compliance with industry standards.

Duplexvent: commercial MVHR selection software

Duplexvent is Airflow's commercial MVHR selection software, designed for engineers, contractors, and consultants working on larger projects. It's ideal for selecting mechanical ventilation heat recovery units for commercial buildings, schools and offices. The software solves the challenge of specifying the right units for complex ventilation requirements, offering a range of options from the highly flexible Multi Range Units to the Duplexbase PS Range and Passive House Certified Units. 

Its benefits include a simplified selection process, allowing for detailed customisation, and comprehensive technical specifications. The software covers units with capacities ranging from small commercial spaces to large commercial applications, ensuring that you can find the perfect solution for your specific project needs.

Key features of Duplexvent

• Comprehensive project page for detailed project input
• Flexible unit options, including vertical and rooftop versions
• Ability to select and customise heating and cooling modules
• Wide range of air volume capacities (up to 15,000 m³/h)
• Option to adjust external static pressure and air volumes independently
• Detailed filtration selection for supply and extract air
• Built-in and external heating/cooling options
• Passive House certified unit selection available
• Automatic calculation of specific fan power (SFP) values
• Export options for technical specifications, CAD, and BIM files
• Psychrometric charts and detailed performance data
• Ability to configure multiple units within a single project

Adroit selection software: residential MVHR

Airflow's Adroit MVHR software is a comprehensive selection tool for residential heat recovery ventilation systems. Tailored for developers, contractors and homeowners, it simplifies the process of choosing appropriate units for various dwelling sizes, ranging from compact flats to spacious homes. Unlike the Duplexvent range, which caters to commercial applications, Adroit is specifically designed to meet residential ventilation needs.

The software allows users to input specific living area requirements and air volumes, promptly providing unit recommendations based on these parameters. It offers extensive customisation options, including heating, cooling and filtration features, ensuring that each system can be tailored to the unique needs of individual homes.

A key benefit of the Adroit software is its ability to solve the complex problem of selecting the right-sized unit for residential spaces. This ensures optimal energy efficiency and superior indoor air quality. The software considers different operating modes (home, away, boost) to guarantee that the selected unit meets all ventilation requirements under varying conditions.

Plus, you can do an easy unit comparison, access detailed technical specifications, and export drawings and data sheets, streamlining the design and installation process and making your job easier.

Key features of Adroit selection software

• Cloud-based interface for easy access and project management
• Detailed unit specifications and customisation options
• Built-in controls with options for additional digital controllers
• Automatic calculation of away and boost modes based on home settings
• Triple filter system selection for improved indoor air quality
• Energy consumption and efficiency calculations
• Noise data and 3D model visualisation
• Export options for technical data sheets, BIM and CAD files
• Integration with Adroit's built-in CO2 and humidity sensors
• Comparison tool for multiple unit options
• Automatic unit recommendations based on living area and air volume inputs

SelectAir: extractor fan selection software

SelectAir is Airflow's software tool for choosing optimal extractor fans from our residential and commercial ranges. It's designed for landlords, developers, electricians, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts working on projects from small domestic installations to larger commercial ventilation systems. SelectAir solves the challenge of specifying the right fan for specific applications by allowing users to input parameters such as room size and required air changes per hour. This ensures compliance with regulatory standards and optimal ventilation, particularly in kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms. The software benefits users by simplifying the selection process, saving time, and reducing the risk of under or over-specifying extractor fans. It's especially valuable for guaranteeing effective and energy-efficient ventilation in various settings, from residential properties to commercial spaces.

Key features of SelectAir

• User-friendly input fields for precise selection
• Wide range of extractor fan options for different uses
• Compliance with ERP eco-design requirements
• Room size and air change rate calculators
• Automatic suggestions based on inputted parameters
• Detailed product specifications and performance data
• Noise level information for each fan option
• Energy efficiency ratings and comparisons
• Option to compare multiple fan models side-by-side
• Export functionality for specifications and technical drawings
• Regular updates to include new product ranges and regulatory changes
• Integration with BIM systems
