What is Passive Ventilation

What is Passive Ventilation

On average, we breathe 13,000 litres of air per day and spend around 90% of our day indoors – either at home, work or school.

We’re away from home more than ever and have concerns around noise, security and bugs so we don’t open our windows enough to keep our indoor air fresh through the whole day.

Indoor pollutants such as moisture, allergens, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are trapped inside which impacts our health and performance and can damage buildings.

Thorough ventilation is the best way to keep our indoor air quality high and flush out moisture and indoor pollutants.

Benefits of Passive Ventilation:
• Introduces fresh air into the building envelope
• Makes homes healthier, by improving air quality
• Easier and more efficient to heat, reducing energy consumption.
