- That is the debate HHI has been having with a few industry leaders from the home ventilation sector.
- Balanced ventilation uses two fans that operate simultaneously, one to blow fresh air indoors and one to blow stale air outdoors—so the house experiences a neutral pressure.
- Improving and cleaning your air is an often forgotten task of spring cleaning.
- First of all, we’re now building houses tighter for greater energy efficiency, but without mechanical ventilation systems. And second, we’re filling these tighter houses with synthetic, man-made building materials, furnishings, and cleaning products...
- Weatherization programs helped homeowners seal up many of the cracks in their houses that air used to leak through.
- Three misconceptions about tight houses are: 1. They have poor IAQ, 2.They have mold and moisture problems, and 3. Chimneys don't work well in them.
- We get a lot of questions about what we call “simplistic solutions to complex situations.” For example, most people want an easy way to solve the problem of poor indoor air quality. Well, we’d like that too and, in some cases, there are relatively simple solutions. But in many cases, the solution isn’t easy.
- Two trends to counter for healthier homes.
- Some ERVs can recover formaldehyde in the same way that they recover water.
- Focusing on more than traditional ways to remove VOCs and allergens in the air can lead to better prevention and treatment of allergies and asthma.
- You can lower the levels and impact of noise pollution in your home in surprising ways; for example, start with your exhaust ventilation fans.
- According to EverydayHealth.com, there is good news and bad news about older homes. There are also simple steps you can take to make a big difference.
- Air-quality testing can be helpful to understand what is wrong with your air, but since there are hundreds or thousands of possible pollutants, and testing for them all is impossible, a test result may be misleading.
- Learn what combustion byproducts, natural draft, and home air-pressure have to do with a backdrafting chimney and your health.
- Radon reduction usually involves one or more mitigation strategies.
- So, exactly what is indoor air pollution?
- Ice damming — which can lead to mold, mildew, or rot — can sometimes occur with improperly vented roofs in the winter.
- PVC has definite issues, but with 80,000 or so total chemicals in legal use, and with it all mixing in the environment (‘better living through chemistry’?) it is hard to establish causality or a singular ‘smoking gun’.
- Think you're ready to remodel? Do your research first.
- HHI Staff and EverydayHealth.com give simple tips to minimizing indoor allergy triggers.
