EnviroVent has responded to a strong market demand for a ‘smart’ way to control ventilation by making its app available for energisava 250 and 380 MVHR systems.

Two words that every asset manager is too familiar with are condensation and mould. A good portion of condensation and mould problems are ones which reoccur on an annual basis, usually in the winter months

The return to uni is always hugely exciting, with the buzz of seeing friends, hitting the student social scene and getting stuck into another year of your degree. It's easy to get swept up in the adrenaline and forget to keep a close eye on your health. But when it comes to black mould and damp, you really cannot afford to be complacent. Some student accommodations are notoriously unhealthy if they aren't properly maintained and cared for, and both damp and black mould can become a problem. Think this is just unsightly or a bit of a pain? Think again, as you could find yourself at risk of serious health complications if action isn't taken. Our guide will tell you more.

With the 2016 Olympic Games set to open in Rio de Janeiro on 5th August, excitement (and nerves) are building and sports fans are talking of little else. The quality of the air we breathe has a major impact on our body’s ability to circulate oxygenated blood, vital for physical activity and, indeed, overall health and wellbeing.

When it comes to ventilation, many landlords have no strategy at all. This is strange because damp is a widespread problem. It not only affects tenants, who have to put up with the musty odour and unsightly black patches, it affects the landlords who will have to repaint, refurbish, or even re-plaster the walls where it is particularly bad. Without proper ventilation, you are inviting damp into your property. During the winter, the temperature difference between the interior and exterior causes water to condense. This is why damp is most often found surrounding windows and doors – these areas are where warm, humid air meets a cold surface, causing pools of water to collect. By creating a strategy, you can overcome the tendency of homes to become muggy and stale smelling during the winter. For the best results, start early, and try thinking long-term.

Student accommodation and rented homes are among the many properties that suffer from condensation and mould problems. Truth is, condensation and mould is in fact one of the most common problems in housing and can seriously begin to affect the health of those living within the mould-affected property.

Most home owners don’t think about the quality of air in their home. While pollution from traffic and high pollen counts is often in the news, the fact that the air in your home can be just as bad for your health and wellbeing isn't as widely reported. Indoor air quality (IAQ) is defined as the absence of air pollutants which could affect the comfort or health of the building residents. Nowadays, we spend a lot of time insulating our homes - adding cavity wall insulation, double glazing and loft insulation to make them more energy-efficient and to save on our utility bills.

EnviroVent has announced that its ventilation training centre has now become a fully accredited NICEIC Approved Assessment Training Centre.
