- Introduction: This case study focuses on a ventilation improvement project undertaken by Advanced Damp to address persistent ventilation issues in a residential property. The client sought a solution to mitigate poor indoor air quality, condensation, and mould growth. Advanced Damp recommended and installed a Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) unit to enhance air circulation and improve the overall indoor environment.
- Client Background: The client, residing in a residential property, had been experiencing inadequate ventilation, resulting in high humidity levels, condensation on windows, and the development of mold in certain areas. Concerned about potential health risks and the impact on the property’s structure, the client contacted Advanced Damp for a solution.
- Challenges Faced: Upon inspection, Advanced Damp identified the following challenges related to the client’s ventilation issues:
a) Inadequate Air Circulation: The property had limited airflow, leading to stagnant, humid air in various areas. This created an unhealthy and uncomfortable living environment.
b) Condensation and Mould Growth: Insufficient ventilation caused excessive moisture to accumulate on windows, leading to condensation and subsequent mould growth. This posed health risks to the occupants and caused damage to the property’s surfaces.
- Solution and Implementation: To address the ventilation challenges, Advanced Damp proposed the installation of a Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) unit, a proven and effective solution for improving indoor air quality. The implementation process involved the following steps:
a) Initial Assessment: Advanced Damp’s team conducted a thorough assessment of the property to determine the optimal location for the PIV unit. They also identified areas prone to condensation and mould growth, ensuring that the ventilation solution would effectively address these issues.
b) PIV Unit Installation: The installation of the PIV unit involved positioning it in a central location, such as the loft or hallway, to allow for maximum air distribution. Advanced Damp’s technicians carefully installed the unit, ensuring proper electrical connections and ventilation ductwork.
c) Air Supply and Filtration: The PIV unit introduced fresh, filtered air into the property, gently pressurizing the building and displacing stale, humid air. The system included filters to remove airborne pollutants and allergens, contributing to improved indoor air quality.
d) Control and Monitoring: Advanced Damp provided the client with user-friendly controls to adjust ventilation settings based on their preferences. Additionally, the PIV unit was equipped with monitoring features to track humidity levels and air quality, enabling the client to observe the positive impact of the installation.
- Results and Benefits: The installation of the PIV unit yielded significant improvements in the property’s ventilation and indoor environment, providing the following benefits:
a) Enhanced Air Circulation: The PIV unit effectively introduced fresh air into the property, improving air circulation and eliminating stagnant, humid pockets. This created a more comfortable living environment for the occupants.
b) Reduction in Condensation and Mold: By addressing the root cause of excess moisture, the PIV unit minimized condensation on windows and surfaces. This resulted in a significant reduction in mould growth and the associated health risks.
c) Improved Indoor Air Quality: The PIV unit’s filtration system removed airborne pollutants, allergens, and contaminants, resulting in improved indoor air quality. This was particularly beneficial for individuals with respiratory conditions and allergies.
d) Energy Efficiency: The PIV unit’s low energy consumption contributed to energy efficiency, reducing the property’s overall carbon footprint.
e) Client Satisfaction: The client expressed their satisfaction with Advanced Damp’s expertise and professionalism throughout the project. They were delighted with the noticeable improvements in air quality, reduced condensation, and a healthier living environment.
