Testo has released a practical guide on how to improve residential ventilation systems.
New residential construction to meet the high demand for housing in Australia has been a hot topic recently, coupled with the subject of improved energy efficiency.
New builds and renovations are now better insulated and more energy smart thanks to new standards. However, some improvements have been to the detriment of a balanced air exchange.
Some building shells have become so airtight in new dwellings that not enough fresh air from outside can get into the building’s interior.
At the same time limited vents and joints to release smells and moisture created in the building (through cooking, showers, exhalation) has been restricted for the sake of better energy efficiency.
Improved indoor air quality can be achieved with the adjustment of the building’s air exchange and the good news is that airflow and ventilation systems can be measured and should be measured. Not only in industrial and commercial buildings, but also in family homes.
Testo has developed a practical guide specifically focusing on residential ventilation systems, to give technicians a good reference on why and how to measure air volume flow and air exchange, but also to highlight the risks associated with incorrectly configured ventilation systems.
Furthermore, technicians can receive handy tips on how to get reliable readings during measurement and discover some of the instruments that can be used to record the readings, analyse the results and report to your clients.
