Ventilatiekeur
Designing, installing, adjusting, and maintaining air ventilation systems requires expertise. To ensure good indoor air quality, proper system calibration and regular maintenance are essential. Ventilatiekeur is a maintenance standard for residential ventilation systems and is exclusively performed and issued by certified ventilation specialists. This guarantees proper maintenance and a healthy indoor climate.
Why a quality mark?
The indoor air quality of homes can be improved, both for owner-occupied and rental properties. While homeowners are responsible for their own ventilation systems, in rental properties, this responsibility lies with the housing association or landlord, who ensures proper maintenance and living comfort.
Indoor air quality plays a crucial role in home comfort. To improve this, Ventilatiekeur was developed. This quality mark focuses on residential ventilation and enhances indoor air quality through a specific maintenance method.
Take care of your own healthy living environment
Proper ventilation is essential for your health. A well-ventilated home ensures sufficient fresh air, helping you wake up rested and feel more energetic during the day. However, many homes still suffer from poor ventilation. Research shows that 1 in 10 homes has mould, nearly half contain tobacco smoke, and in many houses, indoor air pollution is worse than outdoor air. Clearly, ventilation needs improvement.
Few people realise that we shape our indoor climate ourselves. Cooking releases particulate matter, and both washing and cooking produce significant moisture. Even breathing increases CO₂ levels indoors. For your health and that of your family, it is crucial to refresh indoor air regularly. So, make ventilation a priority!
What are ventilation systems?
In the past, ventilation happened naturally in homes. Small gaps and cracks allowed fresh air to flow in and stale air to escape. However, modern homes are built airtight, meaning ventilation must now be managed differently.
Mechanical air extraction is a ventilation system that ensures continuous air removal, constantly refreshing the indoor air. In this system, fresh outdoor air enters through opened ventilation grilles.
Balanced ventilation is a type of mechanical ventilation that also supplies fresh air. The system preheats incoming cold air using the warm indoor air before expelling it outside. This makes balanced ventilation an energy-efficient system. Additionally, ventilation can be adjusted using sensors that measure CO₂ and humidity.
Proper use and regular maintenance are essential for all types of ventilation systems. Seek advice from a certified ventilation specialist who holds the Ventilatiekeur certification.
