What are the benefits of proper ventilation in a building?

Proper ventilation offers numerous benefits, including improved indoor air quality, reduced humidity levels, and prevention of mold growth. It helps remove pollutants, odors, and excess moisture while promoting a healthier and more comfortable living or working environment. Good ventilation can also contribute to energy efficiency by regulating indoor temperatures and reducing the load on heating and cooling systems.

How do I choose the right size exhaust fan for my bathroom?

To choose the right size exhaust fan for your bathroom, calculate the area in square metres. The fan should provide at least 15 liters per second (L/s) of ventilation per square metre. Convert this to cubic metres per hour by multiplying by 3.6. For a 5 m² bathroom, aim for 270 m³/h. Add 10-20% more capacity for additional features like showers or bathtubs to ensure effective ventilation and moisture control.

What is the difference between passive and active ventilation?

Passive ventilation relies on natural air movement through openings like windows, doors, and vents without the use of mechanical systems. It's driven by wind and temperature differences between indoor and outdoor air. Active ventilation, on the other hand, uses mechanical systems such as exhaust fans, heat recovery ventilators, or whole-house fans to forcefully move air in and out of a building. Active ventilation provides more control over air exchange rates and is generally more effective in maintaining consistent indoor air quality, especially in tightly sealed modern buildings.
