Ventilation is where you move exterior air to the inside of a building and then distribute it. The systems are vital for a number of reasons. Firstly, they ensure that there is clean air to breathe. Plus, they remove the building’s pollutants to offer health benefits. On top of that, they can help to maintain a stable climate.

Within commercial structures in particular, good ventilation is critical. After all, people spend long periods of time here. You will want every part of the property to be comfortable. By getting ventilation and air management right, you can gain substantial advantages. This is in terms of a reduction in stress as well as improvements in concentration, productivity, and well-being in general.

Natural ventilation

This kind of system can work well in many commercial buildings, but only when you have natural forces available. You will need higher degrees of these forces for more complex systems. In many cases it can be difficult to achieve this. The standard workings of natural ventilation set ups could also be compromised for a myriad of reasons. For examples, doors and windows may not open.

Mixed mode or hybrid ventilation

These solutions make use of mechanical and natural ventilation. They will use the latter as much as possible but can apply other systems to account for any limitations. As a result they can provide a more comprehensive set up.

Spot ventilation

This is another option that can be viable in many areas in properties. Here you use local exhaust fans in places such as a restaurant kitchen to dispose of pollutants quickly at the source. Strategies like these tend to be efficient when you join them with whole building ventilation designs.

There are lots of options here for fan placement. For example you can install them in duct runs between an external termination point and the ventilated area. Or you can have central multipoint fans. These come in handy for whole building systems. Also, you can use them to let one fan ventilate more than a single area.
