Fresh Air Ventilation (System): Getting a System that Saves Money

 

The technology of indoor environmental comfort is known as HVAC, an acronym that stands for the closely connected tasks of heating, ventilating, and air conditioning. These three central functions are interconnected, providing thermal comfort and acceptable indoor air quality within reasonable installation, operation and maintenance costs. Here’s how you can get a fresh air ventilation system that saves energy and in the long run, money.

 

 

If you’re building a new house or remodeling, or you need a system for commercial ventilation purposes, ask your building contractor about the fresh air ventilation system and industrial air conditioning options or check the yellow pages for heating and cooling contractors. If the contractor is experienced in ventilation, he or she should be able to surmount difficulties related to the installation. This would include balancing the system and verifying flow to all pickup points. It would also include ensuring proper application relating to sizing, location of inlets and outlets, and zone control.

 

 

If you have an unhealthy house, constructed, maintained and equipped with unhealthy materials, you’ll need a powerful ventilation system to temper the concentration of all the indoor air pollutants. Your system does not need to be as powerful if your house is healthy, since its primary job will be to dilute the metabolic pollutants released by the occupants.

 

 

Locate your home’s fresh air ventilation system and its access panels. Turn the system on and off, and remove all of the filters. Inspect your exhaust fans for dust and debris. To take care of excessive dirt and grime, unplug the fan and remove it completely. With just thirty minutes of system maintenance, performed quarterly, you can ensure that your ventilation continues to work properly for many years to come.
