Scientific studies show that indoor air quality plays an essential role in raising and maintaining the health, safety and productivity of occupants.          

According to the World Green Building Council (WGBC), better indoor quality can improve workers’ productivity up to 11%. The quality of indoor air can be determined as low concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) or other pollutants through therecycling of air in the area.

Proper ventilation is not only important to keep occupants healthy and comfortable but it also helps to improve the quality and condition of the building.

As an occupant, it can be difficult to determine if you have the proper amount of ventilation inside your house or office building. If you feel the heat inside your living or work space, this is a sign that you need to upgrade your ventilation system but this is just one indicator.

There are still others that you might have ignored which can also indicate that you may have a poor ventilation system.

High Humidity Level

If your house is not well-ventilated, moisture in the form of condensation may occur especially on flat surfaces or behind furniture or fixtures.  You may also notice moisture build-up on your windows and glass-made doors due to trapped and/or uncirculated heat inside the building.

One of the major issues that can be caused by high humidity inside a house or office building is the discomfort it can bring to occupants.

Roof Damage

Poor ventilation can also lead to rotting roofs and wooden fitments. Roof rot or “dry rot” is caused by wood decaying fungi that live in humid or damp areas where they can hide and reproduce at a temperature most suitable for them.

If not treated immediately, roof rots can cause considerable damage.

Indoor Odours

Sometimes air fresheners and scented candles only mask the smell of unpleasant indoor air and the better solution for you is to improve your building’s ventilation system.

Proper ventilation can enhance the air quality of a building as better air circulation which is an important factor in eliminating odours, pollutants and other contaminants.

Comfort and Health

As occupants go in and out of the building throughout the day, the quality of air also changes because they continually bring in pollutants they pick up from the outside environment.

Without proper ventilation, these airborne pollutants will remain inside the building and can trigger common health issues like asthma, allergies, coughs and other respiratory problems.

Likewise, carbon dioxide (CO2) as a byproduct of human metabolism can build up in poorly ventilated building spaces leading to lethargy and tiredness among the occupants. 

So poor ventilation does not only affect the physical condition of occupants but can also have a psychological impact manifested in effects such as stress and discomfort.

High Energy Bills

The temperature inside your roof/attic space can exceed 70° C or 170° F during summer. In order to regulate this, you will be required to increase your costs through energy consumption through longer hours of running the air-conditioning at higher outputs and/or improved (but costly) to maintain cooler air inside the building.

With the right choice of renewable energy powered ventilator, you can get fresher air at no extra energy expenditure.
