What is Commercial Ventilation?

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 controlled, preventing mould and water damage to your building.

Industrial building ventilation options

Exhaust fans are a simple way to improve airflow in your building. They only work one-way, however, to push air out of the building. This is why a balanced ventilation system is a better option.

Balanced commercial ventilation systems will bring fresh air into your building and use power fans to circulate the air back outdoors. Proper ventilation of your building will also reduce your overall energy costs.

Recoveryvent is one of the leading products for indoor climate control in Australia. We provide ventilation units with heat recovery that help you to create the best indoor air quality possible.

Why you need commercial ventilation
  • Air quality – A typical HVAC filter will not get rid of most VOCs. They must be removed through the building’s ventilation system.
  • Humidity levels – Regulating your indoor humidity levels is not only important for comfort but for the maintenance of the building itself. Moisture will accumulate indoors without proper airflow.
  • Lower energy costs – Maintaining humidity levels will help keep the temperature of your building stable, leading to less need to reset the thermostat and ultimately saving you on your energy bill.
Common ventilation problems
  • Dirty exhaust fans that don’t work properly
  • Slow exhaust fans cause by a fan that is not powerful enough to maintain ventilation
  • Excess heat and humidity will cause your heating and cooling system to work overtime, requiring more ventilation.
Installing an adequately balanced commercial ventilation will help protect your workers and your building and save you money in the long run. Let RecoveryVent help you with selecting the best air quality ventilation system for your needs.
