Image
The air indoors can be far more polluted than the air outdoors. Some pollutants that are floating around the air in your home is dust, odors, chemicals from cleaning products, and gases.

These units have the ability to extract breathed air, full of potentially harmful pollutants and CO2, and expels it outside the home. The system then can bring fresh air back into the house from the outside, where the air is much cleaner and healthy to breath. Protection Against Moisture Damage. In any given home, there are often various living species that create moisture within the air. Whether it is you or your family, animals, or plants, the moisture created simply from breathing can lead to extensive moisture. Home ventilation systems safely remove moisture wit

5 Of The Most Common HRV Installation Errors

Image
The air quality in your home is so important to your overall health, which is why there should be a great deal of care with residential HRV installations . The issue is that there are common installation errors that can negatively impact how well your residential HRV functions. This article will take a look at 5 of the most common HRV installation errors.    1. Improperly Installing Duct Joints How well the duct joints are connected can have a major impact on how well your HRV system performs. Sometimes these joints are just pushed together. In other cases, they may be improperly taped together without using the proper tape. They may even be screwed together without sealing any gaps. Improperly installed duct joints will impact the flow rate and require you to use more energy to get the desired results in the space. 2. Ducting Isn’t Properly Supported Ducting needs to be properly supported so that it can stay in place without moving or collapsing. This will ensure that the air can tra

What is Commercial Ventilation?

Image
Having sufficient airflow in a commercial space is vital for keeping the people in that space healthy. In cooler climates where windows are kept closed most of the year, commercial ventilation is especially important to maintain this airflow. What commercial ventilation does Sound industrial building ventilation systems will provide better indoor air quality in your building. Commercial spaces are particularly prone to having a buildup of potentially harmful airborne chemicals known as VOCs or volatile organic compounds. VOCs are all the compounds produced by carpet, paint, photocopiers, printers, cleaning supplies, and computers. The only way VOCs can escape the building is through an open window or a ventilation system. Modern commercial buildings are built to be airtight. This is fantastic for energy efficiency purposes, but without a balanced commercial ventilation system, the building will not have fresh air. Having consistent airflow also means that humidity will be c

Improving Your Indoor Air Quality – Recovery Ventilation

Image
Having the best indoor air quality that you can get is paramount to your health and wellbeing. You could be unwittingly generating air pollution in your home and not even know it but can still make things better by improving your indoor air quality.    People usually picture pollution as a dark and smoggy cloud that’s formed by industries, cars, and everything else that’s destroying our ozone layer. Outdoor pollution is definitely a problem but, in some cases, the air inside your home can be even worse! If you’ve ever had a dry throat or a cough, or sometimes feel a little short of breath or even have a wheezy chest, these could be signs of indoor air pollution. Even something as simple as an itchy nose can signify some sort of pollutant! The Benefits of Having Improved Air Quality One of the most important things that you can do at home is to keep your home aired out. This could be as simple as keeping your windows open, filtering the air inside your home with an air conditioner, o

Understanding Energy – What is a Passive House?

Image
The idea of a passive house comes from Swedish and German academics from the late 1980s, developing concepts of housing in Europe, encouraging ultra-low energy consumption while still allowing for high air quality in and around the home.    It’s one of the world’s leading energy efficient standards and allows for comfortable and environmentally friendly homes and buildings that are affordable too. While not quite a brand name, but more of an idea, a passive house is a construction concept that while relatively new, is proven to make a positive impact on your immediate surroundings. Owning a Passive House vs. Low Energy House Don’t confuse a passive house and a low energy house. The two of them are very different and a passive house can and will give you energy savings of up to 90% when compared to some brand new builds of 75% or less. On average, less than 1.5 litres of heating oil is used per square meter of living space per year, and the same studies show that buildings in warmer cl
