Why do you need ventilation?
Many people underestimate the power of good ventilation in the home, while continuously ventilating your home, office and business premises will benefit your health. Do you feel like you are starting to get tired, have poor concentration, get headaches or feel stuffy inside? Then it's time to get some fresh air. However, you do not need to go outside for this, this can be done simply by natural or mechanical ventilation in your home, school or office.
Why is ventilation important for health?
To prevent health complaints such as (chronic) coughing, lung diseases, chronic colds and headaches, it is very important that the air in the house is clean and free of pollutants. Through everyday activities, we produce moisture and polluted air. Perspiration, breathing, cooking and showering not only cause increased humidity but also introduce bacteria into the air. Our plants and pets also contribute to this polluted air.
The use of certain building materials can release harmful substances including formaldehyde. Moist air in the house can result in mould on walls and ceiling, endangering the health of the occupants. The polluted and moist air can only be removed by proper ventilation.
Ventilation is even more important with the arrival of Corona. Want to know why? Read it in our blog!
CO2 content
Fresh air not only sounds and feels nicer, it is also very much better for your health. Humans and animals need this fresh air to live. We breathe in oxygen and exhale CO2 and water vapour. The lack of ventilation causes high levels of CO2 in addition to high humidity, which in turn lead to health complaints.
Wondering what health complaints can result from exposure to certain CO2 levels? Check it out in this blog! Want to be assured of clean air in your home or office? Measure it yourself with our CO2 meters.
Ventilation means saving energy
Besides the fact that good ventilation promotes optimum health, ventilation means saving on energy costs. Most new houses are well insulated with the result that humidity and pollutants linger longer in the house. Moist and polluted air is difficult to heat, increasing energy costs, while clean, dry air is easier to heat. This means that ventilated dry air ensures cost and energy savings.
Ventilation is needed 24 hours a day
Ventilation through an open window is only a temporary solution. In fact, within half an hour, the clean air is again polluted with (fine) dust and bacteria that are harmful to health. To improve air quality, the removal of polluted air and the supply of clean, dry air should be guaranteed 24 hours a day.
Opting for natural ventilation
As windows cannot be left open day and night, there are other ways to achieve natural ventilation. Various ventilation products are available that regulate the supply and removal of air, such as ventilation grills in walls or doors. This has the advantage that every desired room in the house is always supplied with clean air.
Mechanical ventilation
Convenience serves man, and that certainly applies to ventilation. A mechanical ventilation system ensures optimal air supply and extraction, without having to worry about it. Moreover, mechanical ventilation is not only suitable for houses, but companies can also use a mechanical ventilation system to guarantee clean air quality. Clean air increases not only health but also productivity.
Be aware of the need for ventilation and think carefully about the different options. Natural ventilation is a good solution when the weather is nice and the windows can be open all day. On cold days, however, mechanical ventilation is indispensable. Besides good ventilation, buy an air purifier to ensure that unhealthy substances - such as fine dust, pollen and mould - are removed from the air.
