- Tips for maximizing energy savings, and the role of ceiling fans in a healthy home.
- Regardless of how efficient and effective air-cleaning devices are in removing pollutants, a question still remains about their ability to reduce adverse health effects.
- Controlled ventilation by means of a mechanical ventilation system is the only way to consistently, reliably, and predictably exchange the air in houses.
- Cost-effective fan and ventilation systems help energy-efficient homes stay healthy.
- Because Mother Nature is partially responsible for the air-exchange rate in all houses, it is important that we understand how she does her work.
- As more people grasp that poor indoor air quality might be the cause of their illnesses, they are cleaning up their indoor environment and improving their ventilation.
