Having a well-ventilated building has never been as important as it has over the last two years, as businesses try to do what they can to prevent the spread of coronavirus within their premises. If you want to improve air circulation in your building, read our tips.
Boosting natural ventilation
An obvious solution is to open windows and doors as much as possible, but natural ventilation goes beyond this. It includes making the most of chimneys, wind towers and trickle ventilators that enable the flow of air between outdoors and indoors.
However, as the weather gets cooler, this can pose problems when it comes to keeping buildings warm enough for employees and clients.
Ventilator fans
This is where ventilator fans come in handy, as the mechanical machinery can create air movement, so air does not become stale, and any bacteria is not left to contaminate surfaces.
Extractor fans
Alternatively, you could install extractor fans that remove stale air from the inside, extracting local sources of contaminants. It maintains internal air pressure to the outside air, which means people inside the building will not feel any draughts.
The contaminated air can be extracted to the outside through a wall or the roof, which means it is removed from the interior of the building entirely.
When installing extractor fans, these need to be tested thoroughly to ensure adequate ventilation. Failing to do this will result in an increase in stale air, which could result in not only high infection rates but also damp problems within the building.
