Installation of ventilation in residential premises

Modern building materials make it possible to keep the heat in the room, but they deprive it of normal air exchange. Therefore, the installation of ventilation in an apartment or a country house today is a prerequisite for a comfortable stay. If you have not designed it and have not mounted it at the first stage of construction, in the future it will bring large production costs. Want to learn how to properly adjust the air in the apartment or house, read the article to the end.

What is ventilation for?

Fresh air is necessary for our body, otherwise you start to feel depressed, headaches appear, the body begins to falter. Therefore, even in a house built of nature from modern materials, it is necessary to take care, even at the design stage, of proper air exchange of residential and utility rooms.

Tip: Usually oxygen supply is organized into the first (living room, bedroom, study), and exhaust air masses are drawn through the second (storeroom, bathroom, bathroom).

Kinds

There are three ways to ventilate an apartment and a house:

• natural;
• forced, with the installation of forced-air ventilation;
• combined, natural with forced exhaust.

Each option has certain advantages and disadvantages. Which one to use is up to you, but we recommend using expert advice.

Installation of ventilation systems directly depends on the surrounding factors:

1. For example, it is not necessary in an ecologically clean place, where motorways do not pass, and there are no enterprises that pollute the atmosphere, install mechanical ventilation with cleaning of incoming air masses.. So you get a sterile atmosphere, negating all the benefits of living close to nature.

1. Another thing, if your house is adjacent to the environment, which is filled with unpleasant and harmful impurities.. They must not be allowed into the atmosphere of the dwelling, filtering off exhaust gases and industrial waste.

Below you will learn how to correctly determine what type of ventilation is best for your home.

How to choose a ventilation system

Firms working on the design of air exchange in residential areas, trying to save the maximum funds of customers. Therefore, in the first stage, they determine factors that may hinder or help the outcome.

Consider the most minimal set of requirements that must be considered when designing:

• clean atmosphere;
• materials for the construction of the building.

You can add here the amount of funds necessary for the work. Although we deliberately did not include this parameter in this list, because excessive savings in this matter may turn out to be a negative result, which will further affect the convenience and comfort of living.

Below we proceed to a detailed description of various ventilation systems, depending on the above factors. This will help you choose the most appropriate:

Advantages of natural ventilation

Although today many homeowners give preference to various technical devices, this method of ventilating indoor air has its positive qualities. Therefore, we recommend installing it in any appropriate case.

Thanks to her, you can:

• reduce the cost of installation of ventilation;

This is especially true of the installation of the supply and exhaust circuit, where it is necessary to take into account various nuances. (See also the article Forced ventilation: features.)

Do the calculation of ventilation, which should take into account:

• the number of people permanently in the building, as well as the volume of air in the rooms;
• devices that are also capable of taking oxygen and emit harmful substances into the atmosphere;
• rooms that will need more frequent air exchange.

Tip: schedule cooling or heating of incoming fresh air.

It does not matter which option for carrying out calculations of air exchange will be preferred. Your task is to calculate everything correctly and foresee it. You can also see the already completed projects of ventilation of houses similar to yours, where there is an instruction for their installation. However, consultation with a specialist will be required. (See also the article House ventilation system: features.)
