Condensation Problems
|
|
A common indicator of the growth of black mould / house mould is the presence of a musty odour which is given off by the mould and its spores. This can give rise to respiratory health problems. When condensation occurs in roof spaces or sub floor areas, the timbers in these areas can become damp and susceptible to dry rot or wet rot.
How To Stop Condensation ‘The Envirovent loft unit’ provides a continuous air change throughout your house, replacing stale moisture-laden unhealthy air with filtered, fresh, warmed air from outside the house. The continuous controlling of relative humidity levels ensures the elimination of the conditions in which condensation or mould growth can develop and thrive.
Protective Features of the Envirovent Loft Unit: 1.) Rapidly removes pollutants such as moisture, volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) and allergens; such as dust, oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, tobacco smoke and unpleasant odours. 2.) Removes moisture which is generated from cooking, bathing, washing and drying (the most common source of mould growth). If the ventilation strategy in your house is based on controlling this principle pollutant (water) by heat recovery input / extract ventilation, all indoor pollutants will be adequately controlled.
  
‘The Whole House Input Ventilator’ works differently to conventional extractor fans which remove and waste expensively produced heat. ‘The Whole House Input Ventilator ‘utilises the heated air which is created in a loft space through solar gain. It simultaneously circulates existing heated air that has raised to ceiling height and helps increase the temperature of the loft space air supply to the unit.
The continuous movement of air throughout your property creates surface evaporation of moisture which is contained in the building fabric of your house. This in turn creates a drying out process entailing less hidden moisture available to heat up – this will save you money by increasing the efficiency of your heating system. ‘Whole House Input Ventilators’ will use less power than is used by a 60 Watt light bulb when in boost mode and less than a 40 Watt bulb when on background trickle.
Heat Recovery Units Heat Recovery Ventilators provide a continuous air change, replacing stale moisture laden air with fresh, warmed air from outside.

Condensation occurs in areas of bad ventilation. The most common sign of condensation is black mould / house mould and damp walls in your home. If you see any of these indicators it is important to call a trained professional to assess the source of the problem.
