Air CirculationSort results by: Date Added | Alphabetically - 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.
- To feel comfortable and healthy, people simply need clean, fresh air. Mechanical ventilation systems are specifically designed to exchange the air in a house—as well as circulate it.
- Heat recovery ventilators (HRV) and energy recovery ventilators (ERV) are air exchange systems that help to enhance indoor air quality and minimize heating costs.
- How does radiant heat, as opposed to air temperature, contribute to a proper
home comfort system?
- The majority of the balanced ventilation systems on the market are heat recovery ventilators (HRVs). Most HRVs consist of an insulated cabinet, a heat-recovery core, two fans, some ductwork, and a control. But not all HRVs are created equal.
- The third principle of healthy design involves ventilation.
- Improving your home’s indoor air quality is not always as easy as just opening windows, but there are simple steps you can take to help ensure you and your family are breathing healthy air.
- Natural ventilation is becoming an increasingly attractive method for reducing energy costs while improving indoor air quality, according to green building advocates.
- There are several ways to improve the air quality indoors—but all the solutions ideally should to be coupled with better ventilation.
- Reducing heat buildup which can reach 150°F on hot summer days, and moisture in the winter, are the two main goals of attic ventilation.
- Bathrooms, kitchens and other rooms have individual needs for ventilation.
- Fans, heat or energy recovery ventilators work continuously to improve indoor air quality.
- Understanding what various ventilation-related terms mean.
- Rather than leaving ventilation to chance, these systems exchange stale air for fresh air in your home, while helping to maintain indoor climate control.
- John Bower's presentation at the Energy Efficient Building Association, Excellence in Housing Conference, Dallas Texas, February 1994.
- Create a plan for ventilation whether building, remodeling or leaving things as they are.
