Understanding how to guarantee the healthiness of residential and commercial environments through efficient ventilation technologies.
The Importance of Indoor Air Quality
Ensuring appropriate air exchange inside buildings is fundamental to preserving their integrity over time and to guaranteeing conditions suitable for the well-being and health of the occupants. Although “classic” window opening is the most traditional method, it presents significant limits, especially in harsh weather conditions.
To meet this need, AVE proposes efficient and effective solutions for air exchange, available both with and without heat recovery, suitable for all types of housing.
The Advantages of CMV compared to Natural Ventilation
The adoption of AVE controlled mechanical ventilation devices offers objective technical pluses compared to the manual management of windows:
- Energy Efficiency: In winter, the heat of the environment is recovered to “warm” the air before intake, avoiding the thermal dispersions typical of opening windows.
- Air Quality (IAQ – Indoor Air Quality): The system guarantees excellent air filtration before it is introduced into the environments.
- Acoustic Comfort: Acoustic pollution is absent since the windows remain closed.
- Thermal Comfort: Sudden temperature fluctuations due to the entry of untreated external air are avoided.
- Automation and Control: Ventilation occurs automatically (no one has to remember to open the windows) and with controlled flow rates dimensioned on real needs, unlike the random exchange of natural ventilation.
- Climate Independence: The system is totally independent of atmospheric events, operating even in adverse weather conditions.
Characteristics of AVE CMV Solutions
AVE proposes 4 distinct solutions, designed to cover needs ranging from a single service room to the entire housing unit.
1. AXIAL: Single-Flow Decentralised Unit (Non-Reversible)
Item Code: VNDPS100
This solution is optimized for 24h operation in extraction mode only and is ideal for application in service rooms. It is typically used in small and medium-sized residential settings.
- Operation: It self-regulates the flow rate management ensuring constant air renewal.
- Installation: Wall-mounted, requires a 100mm hole (with or without exhaust pipes).
2. SOLITAIR: Reversible Single-Flow Decentralised Unit
Item Codes: VNRD100EC / 150EC / 150ECP
Designed for “noble premises” (living rooms, bedrooms) up to 45 m2. It stands out for a refined design (Domus Air range) with a RAL9010 white front plate with sinuous and contemporary lines, to integrate into any furnishing context.
- Operation: Stand-alone or centralized mode.
- Installation: Wall-mounted, requires a 110mm or 160mm hole.
3. SOLAIR: Double-Flow Decentralised Unit
Item Code: VNRP100EC
Generally used in large environments up to 75 m2, both in residential and tertiary-commercial sectors (e.g. bars, restaurants, medical offices). It is a compact product with the peculiarity of managing intake and extraction simultaneously.
- Operation: Double flow with a dedicated exchanger for heat recovery.
- Installation: Stand-alone wall-mounted, requires two 100 mm holes.
4. LINEA & VERTICAL: Centralised Unit
Item Codes: VNRL180ECP – VNRV 280/400/550 ECPN
Centralised controlled mechanical ventilation system with double flow and heat recovery. A single unit manages the entire structure, from the small apartment to the villa.
- Operation: Extracts air from service rooms (bathroom/kitchen) and introduces filtered and pre-heated air into noble premises. Allows precise regulation of the flow rate.
- Installation: Horizontal in the false ceiling (LINEA) or vertical wall-mounted (VERTICAL). Requires a distribution pipe network.

| SOLAIR | Double-Flow Decentralised | Large residential/commercial environments up to 75m2 | Two 100mm holes |
| LINEA & VERTICAL | Double-Flow Centralised | Entire dwelling (Apartments/Villas) | Pipe network |
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why choose a CMV instead of opening the windows?
The CMV guarantees energy savings by recovering heat in winter, offers greater acoustic comfort by keeping windows closed, and filters the incoming air.
How does the LINEA & VERTICAL centralized system work?
The unit provides for the exchange of the entire surface by extracting stale air from service rooms and introducing new, filtered, and pre-heated air into noble premises.
Can CMV replace opening windows in case of bad weather?
Yes, the CMV is totally independent of atmospheric events and allows air exchange even when adverse weather conditions prevent opening the windows.
Which solution is suitable for a bar or a medical office?
For tertiary-commercial environments up to 75 m2, the ideal solution is the SOLAIR double-flow decentralised unit.
Thanks to AVE, it is possible to equip any structure with advanced controlled mechanical ventilation systems, capable of meeting its needs.
