Project Showcase – Wynn Vale

At HiPer Haus, we love partnering with forward-thinking builders to deliver homes that are healthier, more comfortable, and energy efficient. Our recent project with Enduro Builders at Wynn Vale is a great example of how the right mechanical systems can transform a home. By being engaged from the design stage it allowed us to guide the design of the systems to fit into the build neatly.

Mechanical Ventilation System

For this project, we installed and commissioned a Zehnder Q350 Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) system. This unit delivers a constant supply of fresh, filtered air while simultaneously extracting stale air — recovering up to 90% of the heat energy in the process. The result is a home that stays comfortable, healthy, and energy-efficient throughout the year.

To integrate the system seamlessly, the ComfoTube ducting was installed within a Rhondo drop ceiling, positioned beneath a Pro Clima Intello airtightness membrane that was holding the ceiling insulation in place. This method not only keeps the ductwork within the thermal envelope of the home, but also protects the home’s airtightness layer and ensures the system performs at its best — a key consideration for high-performance and Passive House builds.

The ductwork was installed prior to plasterboard installation, and the MVHR unit was fitted after the cabinetry was in place.

Hot Water System

Alongside the ventilation system, we also supplied a Reclaim Energy CO&sub2; hot water heat pump. This system is one of the most sustainable hot water solutions available, using CO&sub2; as a natural refrigerant and operating efficiently even in cold conditions. It provides reliable hot water with significantly lower energy use and greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional systems.

Project Details

This project is a great example of how combining mechanical ventilation and heat pump technology can deliver healthier, more efficient, and future-ready homes. At HiPer Haus, we’re proud to work with builders like Enduro Builders who share the vision of building smarter, more sustainable houses.

If you’re planning a new home and want to integrate these systems, get in touch — we’d love to help.
