Highgrove Home is a Czech-registered editorial reference covering mechanical ventilation, heat recovery, air filtration, and indoor air quality. The content focuses on residential and light-commercial buildings in the Czech Republic, where current energy-efficiency regulations have made airtight construction standard practice — and where the case for controlled mechanical ventilation has become technically straightforward.
What This Resource Covers
The articles on this site address the technical dimensions of building ventilation: how different system types work, how Czech and EU norms define minimum fresh-air rates and acceptable pollutant levels, how heat exchangers perform across Central European winter conditions, and what filter classes apply under the current ISO 16890 standard.
Coverage extends to practical aspects of system selection — heat recovery efficiency, condensation risk management, duct sizing principles, and the distinction between demand-controlled and fixed-flow ventilation strategies.
Approach to Content
Articles draw on published Czech technical standards (ČSN), European norms (EN), and peer-reviewed building science literature. Where figures are cited, the source standard or research publication is identified. Approximate values are labelled as such.
No promotional content from manufacturers appears on this site. Information about specific products is included only when it is used to illustrate a technical point that applies across a product category.
