What are Ventilation Systems?

A Ventilation System controls the airflow within each room within a residential or commercial building. The ventilation provides a constant supply of fresh air and exchanges this for stale air which is expelled outside. There are two options for ventilation; these are natural and mechanical.

Natural ventilation requires vents open to the outdoors and openings throughout the building for the air to enter. This natural airflow is beneficial for commercial buildings like warehouses and hospitals, however, it relies on weather conditions.

Mechanical ventilation circulates air from the air conditioning unit into different areas of the property to control airflow. A ductwork system is installed within the roof of the property and vent grates within each room, similar to that of other air conditioning systems. This system also regulates the temperature, humidity, and oxygen levels. Mechanical ventilation provides a constant supply of circulated air within an enclosed space, which is especially beneficial for larger commercial buildings.
