Fresh Air Ventilation in Hyderabad
Hot semi-arid — extreme summer heat, moderate humidity

What makes ventilation difficult in Hyderabad?
Hyderabad summers peak at 44°C — among India's hottest. Homes seal windows completely in April–June. ERV heat recovery is critical here: without it, fresh air intake at 44°C dramatically increases AC load. Humidity is moderate, making standard ERV the right choice.
Which machine is right for Hyderabad?
Revita ERV + MERV-13
80–90% heat recovery means incoming 44°C outdoor air is pre-cooled to ~26–28°C before reaching the AC — dramatically reducing cooling load. Humidity is manageable without active dehumidification. MERV-13 handles road dust and urban PM2.5 adequately. The Revita
For Hyderabad we specify Revita ERV as the default, with MERV-13 standard filtration. Models: Revita, INA-MFQR-350, (most popular for 3 BHK), Ventura INA-QRXF (commercial), INA-MFQR-350, is our most popular model for Hyderabad 3 BHK apartments.. Model-by-model airflow, static pressure and power figures are on the spec sheets.
Typically installed in: 3 BHK apartments · Villas · IT offices · Schools.
Also worth considering: RHP for large commercial spaces or premium projects requiring active temperature control
How is a system sized here?
Sizing is driven by occupancy, not floor area — CO2 comes from people, so a small crowded flat needs more air than a large empty one. ASHRAE 62.1 sets the airflow per person; that number picks the unit. Hyderabad then adds two local constraints: a summer peak of 40–44°C, which decides how much heat recovery is worth paying for, and humidity of 40–65% RH, which decides whether plain recovery is enough or whether active dehumidification is needed.
