Renovent Excellent 300

House Verdict
9.3/10
★★★★★

Brink's Renovent Excellent is the quiet, considered alternative to Zehnder at the high end of the market. Class-leading measured efficiency, very low specific fan power, and a demand-control system that respects how the building actually performs over a year rather than at the design point.
