When it comes to improving ventilation in a household, the most important aspect is to strike the right balance which means air should be allowed to travel in and out of the building without any hindrance. There are several ways of improving ventilation in a property. Let us have a look at some of the ways that will help in improving the ventilation of a house and which in turn will make the indoor air quality better.
In order to improve ventilation in your home both interior and structural ventilation are important. One must keep in mind that in a house; kitchen, bathrooms and laundries are the greatest source for moisture, odors, and other kinds of indoor pollutants. Hence, it is mandatory that a house has three most important exhaust units. This includes an exterior-venting range hood and exhaust fans in the bathroom and laundry. However, just having exhaust fans in the kitchen or bathroom is not enough. One should keep it operational while using those spaces. However, one must keep in mind that the doors of the rooms where the exhaust fans are operational must be kept closed so that the cold air stays restricted to that particular room and at the same time the steamy air does not cause condensation in the rest of the room.
It needs to be mentioned here that just installation and operation of the exhaust fans are not enough to maintain the ventilation of your home, it is important that these exhaust fans are properly maintained. For example, the grilles and the fan blades of the exhaust fans installed in the kitchen should be cleaned twice a year. Similarly, even exhaust fans of the bathroom also need a regular maintenance in order to keep away moisture and bad odor.
