Air ventilation is a crucial aspect of any building’s design and construction. But ventilation doesn’t just happen. There are many different solutions to help with air ventilation. We’re going to go over three interesting facts about ventilation solutions that you may not have known!
They can be passive or active.
Passive ventilation relies on natural forces like wind pressure differences, buoyancy, conduction, and radiation to move air through your home. Active ventilation systems use mechanical equipment such as fans or blowers to push the air around your house.
Mechanical Systems vary by type.
Air handling units (AHUs) deliver conditioned air from the central plant throughout the building for distribution; supply-air teams (SAUs) deliver ventilation air to each room; exhaust-air units (EAUs) extract ventilation air from each room.
They Can Be Used under different conditions.
Mechanical ventilation can be used when the outdoor conditions are too extreme for passive ventilation or when there is a need for more ventilation than what nature can provide.
There you have it, three interesting facts about ventilation solutions that you may not have known! If you’re in the market for some new solutions, be sure to keep these things in mind. Thanks for reading!
