UK + Ireland Residential Ventilation

Market Intelligence Engine

Sizing the UK + Ireland residential ventilation opportunity from housing stock and new-build flow through balanced ventilation adoption to Zehnder’s HRV/ERV product market — MVHR and SRHR. UK uses the full v11 staged stock-to-flow conversion engine; Ireland is modelled as a lighter aggregate proxy due to limited comparable source-system evidence. Base scenario, client-ready final.

IE_TOM — Ireland aggregate proxy

Ireland is modelled as a lighter aggregate proxy because comparable ventilation stock pathway evidence is not available. IE_TOM mirrors the UK_TOM structure for cross-market comparison but does not feed a UK-style source-system conversion engine.

IE_SAM — Ireland balanced vent flow

Driven by new-build completions × balanced penetration plus aggregate deep-retrofit volume × balanced rate. No detailed source-system conversion engine. Strong regulatory tailwind from Part F 2019 and BER B2 requirements.

IE_SOM — Ireland HRV/ERV

Applies HRV/ERV share and MVHR/SRHR mix to IE_SAM. Modeled IE value uses UK proxy ASPs; unit outputs are more robust than value outputs.

Zehnder_Actuals

Actual UK + Ireland sales, revenue, ASP and dual-basis market share calculations. Basis A: As Reported / All Sales vs modeled SOM incl. replacement. Basis B: Estimated First-Install-Adjusted (proxy that strips an estimated replacement proportion) vs modeled first-install SOM.

V11_Reconciliation — governance

Output stability / QA check. Compares v11.4 outputs (SAM units/value, SOM units/value, replacement flows) against the prior model baseline. All material metrics confirmed within numerical noise (max |Δ%| ~3.9e-16). Status: OK across the board.

V10_Calibration_Helper — legacy reference

Documentation only. Holds the historical pathway-rate calibration logic used in earlier iterations. Live v11 formulas do not reference this sheet; it is retained for traceability, not as a client-facing model driver.

Excel cell colour convention: Blue cells are editable inputs. Black cells contain formulas — do not overwrite. The four scenario drivers (Construction, Retrofit/Conversion, Technology Mix, Pricing) each have independent Low / Base / High paths.

2. Assumptions

+
AC = sourced actuals; FC = forecast / scenario-driven. Housing stock and opening ventilation stock are anchored in sourced assumptions. Scenario-dependent future parameters live in Driver_Scenarios. UK Section C uses a 2022 opening stock anchor, 2023–2024 historical bridge, 2025 target, and 2026–2030 roll-forward through UK_TOM. Ireland uses a separate aggregate stock proxy due to limited source-system survey evidence.

Heat pump correlation (DESNZ, contextual only): 26,292 (2022) → 48,677 (2024) → 51,886 (2025). Ventilation upgrades are often bundled with heat-pump retrofits but are not a direct multiplier in SAM/SOM.
Calculation Engine

5. UK Conversion Engine

+
v11 staged stock-to-flow calculator: 4 source-system conversion families, split by SFH/MFH, plus 2 replacement pathways. Each first-install conversion family is calculated separately for SFH and MFH. Each pathway applies source stock → trigger rate → technical feasibility (75% → 88% over time for deep retrofit; 55% → 68% for moderate / PIV) → balanced adoption → HRV/ERV share → MVHR/SRHR mix.

1. Natural → balanced

Deep retrofit pathway. SFH and MFH calculated separately.

2. dMEV / local exhaust → balanced

Moderate renovation pathway. SFH and MFH separately.

3. MEV / central exhaust → balanced

Moderate renovation pathway. SFH and MFH separately.

4. PIV / supply-only → balanced

PIV upgrade pathway. SFH and MFH separately.

5. MVHR replacement

2.5% /yr effective replacement on installed MVHR base.

6. SRHR replacement

2.5% /yr effective replacement on installed SRHR base.

Total retrofit addressable flow incl. replacement: 62.6k in 2022 → 217.8k in 2030. Of this, first-time conversion grows from 39.8k to 166.8k, while replacement grows from 22.8k to 51.0k.
Aggregator

6. UK Conversion Bridge

+
Aggregates the engine’s pathway-level flows into clean first-install vs replacement totals that feed UK_SAM and UK_SOM. Includes an integrity check (bridge total = engine total).

7. UK SAM — Serviceable Available Market

+
SAM’s primary market definition is first-install balanced ventilation, but v11.4 also shows an including-replacement view for reconciliation with SOM and actuals.

By ~2028, first-install conversion from stock overtakes new build as the primary SAM driver. Conversion grows 4.2× (40k → 167k) — driven by retrofit/EPC pressure, replacement cycles, and rising technical feasibility.

8. UK SOM — Serviceable Obtainable Market (MVHR + SRHR)

+
The HRV/ERV subset of SAM, split MVHR (central) vs SRHR (decentral). Separately tracks first-install and replacement / aftermarket.

Add-on — aggregate proxy

Ireland module (IE_TOM, IE_SAM, IE_SOM)

+
Ireland is modelled as a lighter aggregate proxy, not with the full UK source-system conversion engine, because comparable ventilation stock pathway evidence is not available. Unit outputs are more robust than value outputs; Ireland value uses UK ASP proxy logic.

Replacement: Installed MVHR/SRHR base × effective replacement rate × replacement ASP

Ireland market Aggregate proxy

Ireland is modelled as an aggregate proxy, not with the full UK source-system conversion engine, because comparable ventilation stock pathway evidence is not available. Unit outputs are more robust than value outputs; Ireland value uses UK ASP proxy logic.

Unit Market Share — UK vs Ireland

UK as-reported vs first-install-adjusted; Ireland vs IE_SOM units.

Revenue Market Share — UK vs Ireland

UK as-reported vs first-install-adjusted; Ireland uses UK ASP proxy denominator.

Ireland value share is directional — the IE revenue denominator is built from a UK ASP proxy because Ireland has no comparable price evidence.

Aggregate read-across only. Decision-grade share interpretation should use the separate UK and Ireland tables because their denominators differ.

Read the dashboard carefully

  • Scope: Market charts and tables reflect the v11.4 Base scenario. Low/Base/High paths across four independent drivers (Construction, Retrofit, Adoption & Product Mix, Pricing) are available in the workbook.
  • Actuals coverage: Zehnder actual sales, revenue and ASP are populated for 2022–2025 only; 2026–2030 are intentionally left blank.
  • UK share — dual basis: “First-install-adjusted” is an estimated proxy, not observed. It strips a modeled replacement proportion from reported actuals to align with the first-install SOM denominator.
  • Ireland: The IE module is an aggregate proxy, not a full source-system conversion engine. Ireland value share uses UK ASP proxy denominators; Ireland revenue and share metrics are directional.
  • BI export: Output_Flat is pre-structured for Power BI / Tableau ingestion.
  • Data last updated: v11.4 / May 2026.
Validation: All displayed v11.4 headline outputs reconcile to workbook Summary / UK_SAM / UK_SOM. Workbook governance sheet V11_Reconciliation confirms parity with the prior-model baseline (Status: OK across all material metrics).
