Ventilation Certification
Designing, installing, controlling and maintaining air ventilation systems is a specialty. To guarantee good indoor air quality, the system must be properly regulated and regular maintenance is essential. The Ventilation Label is a maintenance standard for ventilation systems in homes and is performed and issued exclusively by ventilation specialists. This guarantees proper maintenance and a healthy indoor climate.
Why a seal of approval?
The indoor air quality of homes can be improved, for both owner-occupied and rented homes. Whereas with a condo you are responsible yourself, with a rental property it is the housing corporation or landlord. They take care of the maintenance and living comfort of the homes.
Indoor air quality is a relevant topic when it comes to home comfort. To get that indoor air quality to a higher level, the Ventilation Label was developed. The Ventilation Label focuses on residential ventilation and, through a specific maintenance method, ensures better indoor air quality.
Take care of your own healthy living environment
Proper ventilation is necessary for your health. A well-ventilated home means plenty of fresh air and ensures that you wake up rested and fitter during the day. Yet ventilation is still often inadequate. Research shows that 1 in 10 homes has mold, almost half have tobacco smoke, and in many homes there is more particulate matter inside than outside. So ventilation could be better.
Few people realize that we create our indoor climate ourselves. For example, cooking releases particulate matter and washing and cooking produce quite a bit of moisture. CO2 is also released during breathing. So for your health and that of your family, it is important to regularly refresh the indoor air. So ventilate.
What are ventilation systems?
It used to be that home ventilation was almost automatic. Cracks and seams took care of air ventilation. Today, in modern homes there is no longer a crack or seam to be found and ventilation must be done differently.
Mechanical air extraction is a ventilation system that provides continuous exhaust air. This means that the air in the house is continuously refreshed. In this case, the outside air enters through opened ventilation grills.
Balanced ventilation is a form of mechanical ventilation that also provides air supply. The system arranges for the cold outside air to be warmed and exhausted to the outside by the warm inside air. This makes balanced ventilation an energy-efficient ventilation system. Thereby, the ventilation can also be tuned with sensors that can measure CO2 and moisture.
Proper use and maintenance is necessary for all forms of ventilation systems. Get advice from a certified ventilation specialist who holds the Ventilation Seal of Approval.
-
Methodology
The Ventilation Label derives its quality from a maintenance cycle developed especially for this purpose. This involves timely and competent inspection of the ventilation system by a specialist.
