Think Smart, Breathe Smart – Home Ventilation That Won’t Drain Your Wallet
Home ventilation is the hot phrase in home design and architecture today. The concept may sound complicated, but it is, in reality, a simple one. It refers to a system that improves air quality in the home using the latest technology to control airflow. Smart ventilation is part of the broader concept of a “smart” home, where intelligent systems are used to automate many of the systems and processes that we use every day to ensure our comfort and security and to care for ourselves and our homes. This may sound like a huge and costly upgrade to the home and the way you live, and it could be. But there are ways by which a few key aspects of the smart home system could be incorporated into your house today at minimal cost, without a long and messy installation procedure. Here’s how.
Fans and Daylight
Fan technology has made big strides in recent years, and there are various types of fans, many with automated operation, which can provide you with all the fresh indoor air you need, along with lighting options that can give you a healthy indoor environment, at a fraction of the cost of the “smart” systems. There are also new types of skylights available that bring free, healthy, natural sunlight into the house. These are economical and easy to install.
