In building terms, ventilation simply refers to the process of changing or replacing air with external air in a given space over a period of time.

EnviroVent, one of the UK’s leading ventilation manufacturers, has revolutionised its Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) range and added a whole collection of new features and functionality to make it even more appealing for homeowners, self-builders, social housing providers and private landlords.

Four mechanical ventilation heat recovery (MVHR) units from EnviroVent, one of the UK’s leading ventilation manufacturers, have been approved by the Passive House Institute, for use in Passive House developments.

Certain parts of the UK are more at risk of this radioactive gas, which has no smell, taste or colour but can cause serious health problems for people living in properties with higher than acceptable Radon levels.

By their nature, bathrooms create much steam and water vapour. Without proper ventilation, this can turn to condensation and damp, not just in the bathroom, but also in nearby rooms.

All homes need to have adequate ventilation - it can help to prevent damp and mould caused by condensation, and can reduce the chances of contracting health issues caused or exacerbated by poor indoor air quality.

One of the primary concerns when building new homes today is energy efficiency. This can be achieved by using many different techniques, including making them more airtight.

Good ventilation is essential in enclosed areas where people live and work, and the heat recovery element of the system can help to improve energy-efficiency.
