Do you have problems with condensation? Or are you concerned about indoor air pollution?
A positive input ventilation (PIV) system will improve ventilation, bringing in a constant flow of fresh air that pushes humid and stale air out.
This ventilation will remove the moisture that contributes to condensation in your loft, damp, and black mould, as well as air pollutants such as particle matter and VOCs.
Positive input ventilation (PIV) is an innovative low-energy system that uses positive air pressure to improve indoor air quality and eliminate mould growth and condensation issues.
A filtration unit is placed in your loft space (there are wall-mounted alternatives if you don’t have a loft). This unit draws in a constant flow of fresh filtered air. The air is then pushed out of a distribution diffuser placed on the ceiling beneath.
The fresh filtered air dilutes and then displaces the air already in the home. This creates positive air pressure inside the home that forces the stale air out through natural leakage points, such as windows, doors and other small holes.
The constantly moving filtered air means that stale, humid air is always being removed from the building before it can start causing any problems.
The NHS advises that living in a damp home can lead to health problems, some of which can be quite serious.
