Improve Air Quality with Intelivent Advanced Ventilation
- New Zealanders spend approximately 90% of their time indoors and yet the temperature and air quality is often less than adequate – causing harmful health effects *
- One in four New Zealand children suffer from Asthma – one of the highest rates in the world
- 88% of heat generated in an un-insulated home is lost
- Up to 70% of New Zealand homes are not properly insulated if at all **
- This means New Zealand homes have colder internal temperatures than other countries such as Japan, Sweden and North America with colder climates.
- Our cold, damp homes mean we have a higher seasonal mortality rate than other countries with colder climates (8.1 per thousand people)

Improve Warmth with Intelivent Heat Recovery
Un-insulated homes lose 88% of generated heat – but where?
42 per cent is lost through the roof
24 per cent through the walls
12 per cent through unblocked chimneys and drafts around doors and windows
10 per cent through the floor
