Whilst on your mission to acquire a satisfactory ventilation system for your home or business, you may have come across the term HVAC. It stands for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning and refers to the expertise of indoor environmental comfort essentially providing you with thermal comfort and satisfactory indoor air quality.
Ventilation is one of the most important elements to maintain suitable air quality in buildings. The process involves exchanging air from the outside to the inside of a building. This includes the movement of air within the building. For example, some buildings that require HVAC systems include schools, hospitals, hotels, office buildings, homes, apartment buildings, submarines and skyscrapers. In these situations it is very important that the indoor air quality is kept at a suitable and safe level. This is for health and safety reasons.
Ventilation (The V in HVAC) is the process of exchanging air in any space to deliver high quality indoor air. This involves oxygen replenishment, moisture removal, temperature control, smoke odors, dust, heat, bacteria, carbon dioxide, and other gases. For the most part, ventilation removes unpleasant smells and excessive moisture. This process introduces external air and hence keeps the internal building air circulating, and prevents stagnant air occurring.
