Despite the fact that air is invisible to the human eye, it is difficult to overestimate its role in everyone’s life. Indoors, low oxygen content or the presence of harmful impurities in the air can lead to a decrease in performance and negatively affect human health and well-being. Headaches, stuffiness, lethargy, feeling constantly tired… These are just a few of the symptoms that are often observed in people who often breathe poor quality air.

What factors reduce air quality?

One of the main reasons for the recent deterioration in air quality in homes and offices is massive air sealing. In an effort to save energy, we are massively installing plastic doors and windows and insulating the facade and ceiling. Thanks to this, a homeowner can save a lot of money on heating. However, there is a downside. Over time, new problems arise in sealed rooms that negatively affect the comfort and safety of residents. The most common of these are:

• increased humidity levels;
• reduction of the required air exchange rate;
• moving the dew point into the space between the wall and the insulation (and as a result, the appearance of fungus and mold).

That’s why ventilation market experts strongly recommend insulating the facade together with the installation of a high-quality ventilation system. This approach allows you to compensate for excessive humidity in the room and balance its microclimate.

Why is it important?

In rooms with poor ventilation, the level of oxygen decreases, harmful impurities appear in the air, and the level of humidity increases. And this negatively affects people’s health and well-being, reduces efficiency and attention.

Another big problem with insufficiently ventilated rooms is the increase in carbon dioxide levels, which increases 15 times in the exhaled air. If there are many people in a sealed room at the same time, its contents quickly become critical and dangerous to health. The increased CO2 content leads to fatigue, suffocation, headaches, and inability to concentrate.

In addition, in offices with a large number of office equipment, positively charged ions appear, which also negatively affects health. Particularly dangerous are impurities of formaldehyde, resins, tobacco smoke, dust, and microparticles.

Taking into account all these factors, providing the premises with high-quality air is a priority for the safety and comfort of visitors.

Today, one of the best solutions on the ventilation market is PRANA recuperators. They effectively remove exhaust humid air, filling the room with fresh supply air. The efficiency of innovative devices reaches 98%, which guarantees the preservation of heat in the house during the heating season and cool air in the summer.

Why do mold and mildew appear on the walls?

Poor ventilation causes an increase in humidity. This increases the likelihood of mold and mildew, which are dangerous to human health and negatively affect the appearance of repairs, furniture, wooden and metal decorative elements.

Condensation on windows or walls, persistent unpleasant odors, and heavy indoor air are also common accompaniments of unpleasant phenomena. Common symptoms that may indicate the presence of a problem are: deterioration of general health; frequent respiratory diseases; exacerbation of asthma symptoms, allergies, etc.

Humidity of 40-60% is considered optimal for humans. The installation of a recuperator normalizes the microclimate in the room, eliminates excessive humidity, and creates constant air movement. This eliminates the prerequisites for the appearance of dampness, mold, excessive humidity and fungus.

That is why it is recommended to install recuperators in rooms with plastic windows and insulated facades to create a balanced and healthy microclimate.

The optimal solution for a balanced microclimate

PRANA ventilation systems are extremely easy to install and operate. After installing the recuperator, you can remotely control the microclimate using a convenient mobile application.

The PRANA Eco Life models have sensors for pollution and air parameters such as CO2eq, TVOC, humidity, atmospheric pressure, outdoor and indoor air temperature (before/after recovery). This allows the system to be used in AUTO and AUTO+ modes. The system independently changes the operating mode after analyzing the sensor readings and ensures optimal air quality and composition.
