Role of HVAC ventilation in indoor air quality
A poor ventilation system not only disrupts the entire ecosphere but also adds to pollution.
In the past decades, indoor air quality has considerably deteriorated. This is especially true in cities. This makes indoor air quality situations appealing. The quality of your indoor air can be affected by a wide range of factors. This may include airborne microorganisms, dust, pollen, and other substances, which are highly detrimental to human health—considering the numerous environmental health risks to humans, unhealthy and poor indoor air quality, and population ranks among the top five. One way you can improve your indoor air is by ensuring proper ventilation in your home. Most households have no ventilation system, except for the exhaust system installed in the kitchen or perhaps in bathrooms. This inadequate ventilation is of no good if you want to achieve high indoor air quality levels. To improve the aeration in your home with better ventilation, consider utilizing the ductwork of your home’s heating and cooling system. Your HVAC ductwork returns to your outdoor using the motorized controller and damper that aid in aeration of home with the fresh outdoor air. However, this solution comes with some limitations in regards to improving indoor air quality. For instance, if you reside in a region where the outdoor air is not favorable to your health due to high levels of outdoor contaminants, then the entire purpose of proper ventilation is defeated. In this case, a good ventilation system will not improve your indoor air quality to your expected standards.
