100% Healthy Living Challenge

Mitros, the largest social housing organisation in Utrecht and Nieuwegein, set out to find the solution that would guarantee tenants a pleasant and healthy indoor environment following the renovation of their homes. Such homes would provide a healthy air quality without any draughts, moulds or excess damp or, in other words, would be completely healthy to live in.

The 100% GZND Wonen Challenge (100% Healthy Living Challenge) is all about a new, innovative way of renovating housing through working together. The idea devised by BRRIT+1 (of which BAM Energy Systems is a part) was one of the winners of the Challenge. Its solution puts users front and centre. It is a simple, all-encompassing and functional concept that can be widely applied. The BRRIT+1 concept consists of an innovative ventilation system with the following specifications:

• No draughts felt thanks to the supply of fresh, preheated air via the central hallway
• Constant high air quality due to a carbon and particulate indicator
• Ease of operation due to the simplicity of the system

The result?

• Healthy housing without damp, draughts or noise
• Residential comfort for occupants
• Easy-to-operate systems
• Lower energy bills
• User engagement thanks to periodic communication
