How can I ventilate and heat at the same time?
Recently, more and more attention has been paid to properly insulating our homes. This makes the role of good ventilation more important. This is because better insulation prevents polluted indoor air from escaping through cracks and crevices and reduces the amount of fresh air entering the house. A ventilation system is essential for maintaining a healthy indoor climate, but it can lead to some heat loss, as mainly fresh outside air enters the house. If you opt for a MVHR units, however, you ensure that your ventilation system works effectively together with your heating system. In this blog, we explain exactly how this works.
How exactly does a ventilation system work?
We can explain that to you in a simple way. A ventilation system ensures that the indoor air in a certain room (e.g. a home, office building, event location, public area, etc.) is replaced by clean outdoor air. The indoor air is purified of unpleasant odours, as it were, and discharged to the outside via ventilation ducts and grilles. This also removes dirt, dust particles and moisture (e.g. from the bathroom).
Also, don't forget to naturally ventilate your home!
Not only a well-functioning ventilation system is very important for a healthy indoor climate. Nor should we forget natural ventilation. To ensure this, we have listed some useful tips for you. First of all, make sure there is a constant flow of fresh outside air in all rooms in your home, for instance through gaps under doors. We also recommend opening your ventilation grilles as much as possible and cleaning them every now and then. You can also set your windows to draught (tilt) as much as possible, or leave them ajar.
Ventilation fact: clean outdoor air heats up faster than polluted indoor air!
In general, clean outdoor air heats up faster than polluted indoor air. Clean air has fewer obstacles and particles that can absorb or reflect heat. Outdoor air usually has lower humidity, which is more efficient for retaining heat. However, other factors, such as the insulation of a room, the presence of windows and the efficiency of heating and cooling systems, can also affect how quickly a room heats up, regardless of the pollution level of the air inside or outside.
Why does it make sense to invest in a MVHR unit?
Although a MVHR unit requires a higher investment than a mechanical ventilation system, it offers more benefits in the long run. Mainly because it reduces energy costs. With a MEV unit (ventilation system C), on the other hand, you have to be heated more, as cold air enters through the grilles that first has to be warmed by the central heating system. This results in higher energy costs. With a MVHR unit, you are assured of:
- A healthy indoor climate in your home 24/7
- An energy-efficient and sustainable ventilation system
- Good ventilation, even when all windows and doors are closed
- A ventilation system that lasts a long time!
