Fresh AirSort results by: Date Added | Alphabetically - While air filtration isn't a cure-all, when used with source control and ventilation it can help improve indoor air quality.
- When a house is pressurized, soil gases and contaminants from within building cavities are kept out of the living space.
- 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.
- 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.
- Several factors should be considered, such as recovery efficiency, airflow capacity, and electricity consumption.
- The Home Ventilating Institute (HVI) offers guidelines on how to select the right ventilation system for your home, how much air it should move and why, types of ventilation systems, and where to get more information on ventilation standards.
- In early 2007 Kevin and Kathy Christopherson set about building a home in Hanover, Wisconsin. This was no ordinary new home construction, though. Since Kathy has an acute chemical sensitivity, special precautions were necessary – precautions that presented some particularly challenging construction issues.
- These terms are used somewhat interchangeably, which is confusing. HVI shows how to tell them apart.
- Ventilate your bathroom to prevent moisture buildup and related problems.
- Who can you trust to help ensure your home ventilation equipment works as it should?
- The net cost of owning a green home can be comparable to that of owning a conventional home – sometimes even less.
- Likely there is room for improvement. Here is what to do.
- This nonprofit organization is the leading name in performance certification of residential ventilation products, providing the link between ventilation and healthy, energy-efficient homes.
- Tight, energy-saving homes have prompted makers of ventilators to develop new, innovative products and systems.
- 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.
- All green building programs require mechanical ventilation individually designed for each house.
- The harmonious interaction with nature is the guiding principle of the Building Biology approach to healthy home building.
- Everyone is at risk of being poisoned by carbon monoxide exposure. Older adults with pre-existing conditions, such as chronic heart disease, anemia, or respiratory problems, are even more susceptible to the effects of this odorless, colorless gas.
