Ventilation methods

There are many different methods with which to ventilate your home. Choosing one, or a combination of several, can ensure your home is a healthy place to live.

Regularly bringing fresh air into your home is vital to ensuring that it’s a healthy place to live – and good house design will account for effective ventilation from the outset. In most cases, houses are ventilated using either natural ventilation which relies on either heat rising out through the top of the house or wind passing through either side, or on mechanical ventilation like that provided by whole house fans or HRVs / ERVs. In many cases, a mixture of methods is the most effective option.
