Why Ventilate?
BRANZ Bulletin 508. February 2009.
1.0.1 Daily household activities such as cooking, washing and even breathing release moisture and
pollutants into the air. Air needs to be regularly refreshed to maintain its purity. Houses
of the past were cold & draughty, but provided adequate ventilation through leakage around
window and doors.
1.0.2 Modern homes are more insulated and airtight. While this makes them more energy efficient
it also results in reduced airflow in and out. If polluted air and moisture remain trapped inside,
indoor air quality is reduced. New Zealand has a comparatively high rate of asthma and
moisture can cause both cosmetic & structural damage to the building.
1.0.3 NZ Building Code clause G4 Ventilation requires that ‘spaces within buildings shall have a
means of ventilation with outdoor air that will provide an adequate number of air changes to
maintain air purity’.
1.0.4 The minimum number of air changes per hour (ACH) deemed to be adequate for living areas
is 0.35, which means approximately one-third of the total volume of air must be changed
every hour.
1.0.5 Opening windows provides passive ventilation (acceptable under G4), but heat can be lost
and security can be compromised.
“The average NZ family produces over 100 litres* per week of moisture while
carrying out normal everyday activities”

Overview
SmartVent Lite is an economical ventilation system that monitors temperature conditions to ensure that
you are protecting your home or rental property with quality air always circulating.
As a positive pressure system, SmartVent Lite draws in fresher air from the roof cavity and filters it before
distributing the clean air into, and around, your home via a network of ceiling diffusers. The air movement
created forces the moist, stale air that causes condensation, mould and mildew out of the building.
SmartVent Lite Range
SV01L - 1 system outlet (expandable to 3 max.) for homes up to 80m2
SV02L - 2 system outlets (expandable to 3 max.) for homes up to 80m2
SV04L - 4 system outlets (expandable to 6 max.) for homes up to 200m2
SV06L - 6 system outlets (expandable to 10 max.) for homes up to 400m2
Extension Kits can be used to add further system outlets up to the maximum shown above for each model.
Controllers
SmartVent Lite systems use proprietary sensor controls designed for New Zealand conditions.
The SmartVent Lite system consists of:
- nude and insulated acoustic ducting
- high quality F7 grade filters
- ceiling mounted diffusers
- wall mounted touch screen controller
The touch screen controller is easy-to-use and once the
preferred operating temperature is set, the fan speed is
automatically controlled.
The fan speed can be manually adjusted if required.
SmartVent lite has an added feature to allow property owners
to lock the system preventing users from switching it off, while
still allowing them to adjust the fan speed.

− This selection guide assumes 2.4m stud height, if greater please increase the square metre size by 4% for
every 0.1 metre. For example for a 2.8m stud height, increase your house size by 16%.
− If you choose to exceed the number of rooms listed in the selection guide above, the performance of the
system will be affected.
− By adding additional outlets to the system the air is being divided amongst more rooms.
− Extra duct may be required depending on the size and layout of the home (see accessories on page 34).
− For larger homes please contact SmartVent for technical advice.
− A SmartVent Positive Pressure system with an in-line tempering heater is not intended to be a substitute
for an effective heating system in the home.
− When installing a + Heat Heat Transfer feature, an adequate heat source is required that is capable of
delivering enough excess heat to adequately warm all areas heat is transferred to, while remaining effective
in the source room.

The + Cool Summer Feature kit is an optional second air intake located under the eaves or at the gable end
of the home (weatherproof grille maybe required). This feature provides an alternative air supply when the roof
cavity temperature exceeds the maximum temperature set by the user.
− When installed on the south side of the house it ensures the coolest possible air is used to ventilate the
home in the warmer months.
− SmartVent Fresh uses the + Cool Summer Feature kit to manage the temperature and or humidity
conditions in the home.
− If the house design prevents the installation of a + Cool Summer Feature kit, there are alternative options
for a second air source such as thru-roof kits. SmartVent have a full range of accessories available to assist.

+ Heat Heat Transfer has a motorised damper that operates to switch the air drawing from either the
outside or roof cavity to instead draw air from the room where there is a heat source (usually a lounge) and
transfer it to the bedrooms. This feature can also provide an alternative air supply.
- It is important to point out that when + Heat Heat Transfer is activated, the system is not bringing in fresh
air, therefore not ventilating the home - however the home is getting the benefit of transferring heat
around the house (e.g. cold winter nights). It also shuts off any supply back into the heat source room.
- + Heat Heat Transfer can also be used to manage the preferred temperature and/or humidity conditions in
the home.
Note:
- + Heat Heat Transfer is recommended when there is a heat source that creates excess heat (i.e. wood fire
or similar).

+ Heat Heat Transfer
Kits SYN190 SYN1015 BAL225 SYN2025 SYN3035 BAL405
Heat Transfer FAN2027 -
+ Heat Heat Transfer has a motorised damper that operates to switch the air drawing from either the
outside or roof cavity to instead draw air from the room where there is a heat source (usually a lounge) and
transfer it to the bedrooms. This feature can also provide an alternative air supply.
- It is important to point out that when + Heat Heat Transfer is activated, the system is not bringing in
fresh air, therefore not ventilating the home - however the home is getting the benefit of transferring heat
around the house (e.g. cold winter nights). It also shuts off any supply back into the heat source room.
- + Heat Heat Transfer can also be used to manage the preferred temperature and/or humidity conditions in
the home.
Note:
- + Heat Heat Transfer is recommended when there is a heat source that creates excess heat (i.e. wood fire
or similar).
- A heat pump sized for the room it occupies may not be suitable for + Heat Heat Transfer.
- If planning to use a heat pump with + Heat Heat Transfer, first consult the heat pump installer/manufacturer.

This feature diverts fresh filtered air around the core. This is useful in summer when the outside temperature
is assumed to be lower than the inside and you do not want to warm the incoming air with the air you are
extracting from the home. A + Bypass Core By-pass is included as standard in Balance BAL225 and BAL405.
It is available as an optional extra for Synergy SYN190.
- The + Bypass Core By-pass enables the system to by-pass the core in the summer when heat recovery is
not desirable. In the summer, + Bypass Core By-pass ensures the coolest possible air is used to ventilate
