Importance of Installing an Adequate Ventilation System

A clean indoor environment is of great importance because of the time that you spend in your home. The indoor air that you breathe should be fresh otherwise you can get respiratory problems. The only way to improve the continuous supply of fresh air is via effective ventilation. Places such as an indoor pool requires most of the ventilation due to the presence of water vapour and moisture which leads to decaying of walls and roof. Hence ventilation is required as it will get rid of the damp air and will replace it with dry fresh air. The simplest form of residential indoor pool ventilation is natural ventilation where vents are set up on the walls of the building. This allows fresh air to move into the indoor pools for better airflow.

What causes dampness?

Dampness occurs when moisture accumulates inside a building and gets trapped in the building due to poor ventilation. An accumulation of moisture results in the growth of mold which can easily spread near the area of the pool. The mould then gives rise to fungal spores which are a health hazard when inhaled because they are known to affect the respiratory system. You can end up developing respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis and you may also experience severe chest pains.

Benefits of having an indoor pool ventilation system in your home:


Prevent Interior Damage

When a pool or spa water is heated to maintain a comfortable temperature, large amounts of water vapor are generated that you can notice on the floors, walls, and ceilings of the spa or pool area after a few minutes. This exposure can lead to the growth of mold, mildew, and other forms of interior damage, both in the immediate area and in any adjoining parts of the pool. The presence of moisture and vapors can cause wood rotting, metal corrosion, paint damage. Using a residential indoor pool ventilation system can save you money in the long run and will make your pool or spa area look more attractive.

Improve the Indoor Climate

Too much humidity can also adversely affect your ability to enjoy your time in the pool. Excessive humidity can promote air quality problems, since mold, and bacteria usually thrive in these types of conditions you and your guests may notice unpleasant odors. Apart from this, during warmer seasons, high humidity levels can also be downright uncomfortable. With an indoor pool ventilation, you can reclaim your spa or pool area and ensure that it remains healthy and clean for you and your guests most of the time.

In case of a large pool area, you would need a more advanced ventilation system for blowing out the humid air and in that case, it is a good idea to contact a ventilation expert who will assess your home from the ground to the roof. The expert will then recommend a ventilation system that will effectively air your pool. You can install fans in the specific location where moisture build-up to remove it effectively.

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

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
