Mechanical Ventilation Systems

Q: Is mechanical ventilation a sustainable choice?

Mechanical ventilation systems are a sustainable choice. The first reason is that they provide constant airflow at the correct O2 and CO2 levels. The second reason is that mechanical ventilation systems are not subject to outside airflow as they create their own airflow. Lastly, when compared to conventional ventilation techniques, these units are more cost-effective to operate in residential or commercial buildings and offer a high level of performance.

Q: How much energy do mechanical ventilation systems use?

Mechanical ventilation systems tend to use more energy than passive ventilation systems because they need to run continuously to operate properly and keep the air inside a space fresh and clean. However, they are highly effective for this very reason.

The purpose of the mechanical ventilation system is to regulate airflow in your home. Without it, your house is at risk of being filled with stale and stagnant air. Different types of mechanical ventilation systems can be used: supply ventilation systems deliver fresh outdoor air into a building, exhaust ventilation systems expel stale indoor air, and balanced ventilation systems combine both approaches to maintain optimal indoor air quality and circulation. If you're considering an upgrade, ArchiPro features the latest mechanical ventilation systems from top suppliers in Australia.

Types of mechanical ventilation systems

Supply ventilation systems

Supply ventilation systems use a fan to pull outside air into your home or building while forcing existing air to leave for a balanced internal pressure. Supply ventilation systems are great for homes in high humidity areas as it helps to dehumidify outside air.

Exhaust ventilation systems

Exhaust ventilation systems are simple to install and work great in colder climates. Exhaust ventilation systems include a fan that’s connected to an exhaust point within the building.

Balanced ventilation systems

Balanced ventilation systems supply fresh air and exhaust equal amounts of inside air. This type of ventilation system has two duct systems and two fans, and exhaust vents can be placed in living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms and various other rooms in the house.

The advantages of high-quality mechanical ventilation systems

The advantages of high-quality mechanical ventilation systems in Australia are many and are fast becoming a common feature in homes and offices. High quality systems will effectively reduce the amount of dust and pollen in a room, which improves air quality, in less time than lower quality systems. High quality mechanical ventilation systems also improve the comfort level of occupants by eliminating drafts and temperature fluctuations, which can lead to allergies, asthma and other respiratory problems. They have gone through rigorous design and development to maximise their output and efficiency with the latest technology and techniques.

How to choose a mechanical ventilation system that’s right for you

Choosing the right mechanical ventilation system can be a difficult and confusing process, especially if you’re not familiar with all the different kinds of equipment that are available. Looking at the different types is the first place to start, understanding their traits and strengths which best suit your requirements. This will include aspects like cost, ongoing maintenance and effectiveness. Your local climate will also impact your choice as some systems, exhaust ventilation systems, work better in cooler environments. Alternatively, supply ventilation systems are great for areas in Australia with high humidity.

How do mechanical ventilation systems improve air quality?

Mechanical ventilation systems improve air quality by reducing the amount of pollutants in the air. They help to reduce the amount of dust, allergens and other particles in the air. Mechanical ventilation systems also reduce the amount of CO2 in an environment.
