In this blog, you'll read about the different CO2 levels and what they mean, what a healthy CO2 level in your home is, which health complaints a high CO2 level can cause and what you can do yourself to lower the CO2 level again.
Air Quality
In this blog, you'll read how a CO2 monitor works and where best to place this handy device. Next, we explain how to read the monitor, what ppm means and which CO2 levels are healthy. Finally, we set out the difference between a CO2 monitor and a particulate matter monitor.
Wanneer je voor een langere tijd in een ruimte bent, is het belangrijk om te weten of de luchtkwaliteit goed is. Wanneer dit niet het geval is loop je risico om last te krijgen van diverse gezondheidsklachten. Zeker wanneer je met meerdere mensen in huis of op kantoor bent, kunnen de CO2 waarden snel oplopen. Nu is niet alleen de blootstelling aan een hoog CO2 niveau erg schadelijk, ook corona kan makkelijker overgedragen worden in een ruimte met een hoge ppm waarde. Een koolstofdioxide meter is dus onmisbaar geworden. Dit apparaat geeft aan wanneer het CO2 niveau te hoog is in een ruimte, en daarmee wanneer het tijd is om te ventileren.
Fine particulates are tiny dust particles smaller than 10 micrometres (µm) that you can't see with the naked eye, but which still affect the air you breathe. A particulate matter sensor makes this invisible air pollution visible: the device measures the amount of (fine) dust particles in the air, expressed in PM (Particulate Matter), giving you a simple and clear insight into the air quality in a given space. That way, you know exactly when it's time to ventilate, and you protect your own health and that of others. Good particulate matter sensors often have multiple functions, measuring not only particles below 10 µm but also below 2.5 µm, as well as CO2, humidity and other volatile gases.
How clean is the air in your home, really? With a simple check, you can find out in no time. Measuring the air quality in your own home is actually not complicated at all! With a CO2 monitor or particulate matter meter (sometimes also called an air quality meter), you can see straight away whether the air quality in your home is good (enough) or not. If it isn't, you immediately know that extra ventilation is needed. In this blog, we explain how you can measure the air quality at home quickly and easily, what healthy indoor air quality actually means, which substances can cause poor(er) air quality, and what the relevant requirements and regulations are.
A flexible duct is an essential part of almost every ventilation system, but with so many different types, diameters and applications, it isn't always clear which duct you actually need. In this blog we discuss what you use a ventilation duct for, which types are available, which duct suits your situation and what to look out for when choosing and fitting your new duct.
The temperature outside is rising quickly: summer is here! Warm weather is often lovely, and we spend a lot of time outdoors. What is less pleasant is the heat slowly entering your home. The result? An uncomfortable and sometimes even unhealthy indoor climate. Many people keep windows and doors closed during the day or even switch off the mechanical ventilation in their home. That is not the right way to fight heat. By ventilating at the right times and consciously managing the indoor climate, you can keep the air in your home fresher, healthier and more pleasant. In this blog, we tell you more about this.
Do you want to paint your ventilation grille? In many cases, this is possible, as long as you use the right paint and make sure the air openings remain unobstructed. A ventilation grille not only has a visible finish, but also plays a functional role in the air supply or air extraction of a room. In this blog, we explain when you can paint a ventilation grille, what to look out for and how to prevent the grille’s performance from being reduced.
Air valves ensure the correct air supply and air extraction in a home with mechanical ventilation or an MVHR unit. An air valve may look simple, but the position of a valve is very important for the proper operation of a ventilation system. Do you want to clean, install, adjust or replace an air valve? In this blog, we briefly and practically explain what you need to pay attention to.
Goede ventilatie is ontzettend belangrijk, zowel in als rondom het huis. Om dat te bewerkstelligen is niet alleen een geschikt ventilatiesysteem essenstieel, maar ook de ventilatieroosters. Zij zorgen ervoor dat er op een natuurlijke manier frisse lucht naar binnen komt en vervuilde lucht naar buiten wordt afgevoerd. Bij Ventilatieland ben je op het juiste adres voor een breed scala aan luchtroosters voor vele toepassingen, zoals de badkamer, keuken, slaapkamer, kelder, het toilet en meer. In deze blog lichten we een aantal ruimtes uit en vertellen we je graag welke ventilatieroosters hier het meest geschikt voor zijn. Zo weet je zeker dat je via onze site altijd het juiste ventilatierooster kiest.
The lack of fresh air in a room is very unhealthy. Among other things, it leads to physical complaints that are very quickly noticeable. This blog lists the complaints caused by poor ventilation and gives tips on how to prevent them.
Do you wake up in the morning with a dry throat or misted-up windows? Or do you notice mould spots appearing on the wall in the bathroom? If so, there's a good chance that the humidity in your home isn't optimal. Many people don't give it much thought, but a healthy indoor climate starts with a good balance in humidity. The ideal humidity level in a home lies between 40% and 60%. If you're structurally above or below this, you can run into problems such as mould growth, allergies, wood rot, or conversely dry air in the home that dries out your skin and airways. Fortunately, there are smart solutions to tackle this. In this blog, we explain exactly what humidity is, why it plays such a big role in your daily life, and how you can lower or improve the humidity in your home — often simply by ventilating better.
The rise of smart technologies has drastically changed how we use air conditioning systems. Smart air conditioners not only offer more comfort and convenience but also give homeowners greater control over their energy usage. By investing in smart air conditioning systems, individuals can reduce energy costs and optimize their home environment. These systems provide an innovative and future-proof solution for those looking to enhance their living space with modern technology.
During the winter months, it is all about creating a pleasant and warm atmosphere in our homes. While we focus on heating our homes, we sometimes forget the importance of ventilation. Having good ventilation is crucial, even during the coldest months, as it ensures healthy air quality and reduces the spread of germs and allergens. In this blog, we provide some tips and suggestions for taking care of your ventilation system in winter.
A nice living space, improved sleep and healthy growing children. One way to achieve all this is through good ventilation. In this blog, we provide you with the necessary tips and tricks.
Providing an indoor space such as a house, school or office with fresh outdoor air is considered ventilation. The polluted indoor air is replaced by fresh air from outside which contributes to an optimal indoor climate. When a space is not sufficiently supplied with fresh air it can have adverse health effects.
