The ventilation of our homes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proper ventilation has been lacking in our homes long before the coronavirus pandemic. In the midst of the pandemic, the best advice from governments is to open more windows \u2013 even in winter. The current building regulations have remained unchanged for over 10 years and only require the installation of bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans, which only operate when in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this is the case, how can we ensure that we breathe healthy air in our homes? In fact, it is up to us, as ventilation is not rocket science. With the following 5 simple steps, we can ensure proper ventilation throughout the year while also saving energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Understand the air you breathe in.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several factors contribute to the deterioration of air quality: viruses, carbon dioxide, dust, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), mold spores, pollutants, and humidity. For example, waking up tired in the morning is often due to the buildup of carbon dioxide in the bedroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solution:<\/strong> A quiet, single-room heat recovery unit, such as the Blauberg Vento<\/em>, can significantly reduce CO\u2082 accumulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Upgrade your existing exhaust fans to continuous operation fans.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditional exhaust fans are often noisy or do not function properly, and are generally used for only a short time. In contrast, continuous operation fans, such as the Blauberg Calm 100 dMEV<\/em>, operate quietly 24\/7 and consume less than 2 watts of energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Higher indoor air quality throughout the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Easy installation in place of old fans, at minimal cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Ventilate every living space.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Single-room ventilation systems, such as the Blauberg Vento<\/em> series, provide fresh and filtered air to every room. The units of various sizes \u2013 such as the Vento-Mini<\/em> for bedrooms and the Vento-Maxi<\/em> living rooms \u2013 they can operate with individual control or as a complete house system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Filter the fresh air<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to ventilation, filtering fresh air is essential, especially in urban environments where pollutant concentrations are high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filter types:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 PM10 filters:<\/strong> They remove pollen, dust, and smoke (up to 10 microns).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 PM2.5 filters:<\/strong> They remove viruses, VOCs, and industrial pollutants (up to 2.5 microns).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HEPA filters clean the air with an efficiency of up to 99.97%, ensuring the highest air quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Think about heat and energy-efficient ventilation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat recovery ventilation provides fresh air and energy efficiency at the same time. You can choose between two solutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Central heat recovery system (MVHR):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 A central unit (like a boiler) directs fresh air to every room in the apartment while removing contaminated air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 The unit operates with a heat recovery efficiency of up to 98%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Decentralized heat recovery system:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Single-room units, like the Blauberg Vento<\/em>, operate quietly and continuously in every room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 They can be connected via Wi-Fi, creating a whole-house ventilation system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why choose Blauberg solutions?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blauberg's ventilation systems combine the latest technology with energy efficiency while ensuring fresh and clean air in your home throughout the year.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
