Mechanical Ventilation, sometimes referred to as Whole House Ventilation, is the removal and/ or supply of air to a building by means of mechanical fans. This type of ventilation is usually continuous and helps circulate fresh air within the property whilst removing the pollutant air at source. Mechanical Ventilation is a much more controllable method of ventilation.Top in the list of air conditioning suppliers in Kenya
How It Works
Mechanical Ventilation is a much underestimated element of modern housebuilding and business structures — but will play a crucial role in how much you enjoy your new home. Our guide explains what you need to know.
Put simply, ventilation is the removal of ‘stale’ air from inside a building and its replacement with ‘fresh’ air from outside. Adequate ventilation is essential in your home to maintain a healthy environment but also to prevent the build-up of excess levels of humidity and to provide air for fuel-burning appliances. A good ventilation system will help remove cooking smells, allergens and other irritants, such as tobacco smoke, and make your home a considerably more pleasant, healthy and comfortable place to live.
Buildings are ventilated through a combination of air infiltration and purpose-provided ventilation. Infiltration is the uncontrollable air exchange between inside and outside a building through a range of air leakage paths in the building structure i.e. drafts. Purpose-provided ventilation is the controllable air exchange by means of a range of natural and/or mechanical devices such as trickle vents in windows and electric extract fans. The current aim of the Building Regulations is to minimise uncontrollable infiltration ventilation in favour of controllable ventilation in order to help improve energy efficiency.

The fresh air system is designed to enhance the heating and cooling systems. In most instances we are able to build in heat recovery systems, or incorporate some free cooling via the fresh air system.
The hospital ventilation system requires precision with design, to ensure the correct room pressures. Only in this way can we be certain that the airflow is from clean areas to dirty areas, and not vice versa.
Displacement ventilation systems incorporate heating and cooling, and are designed to be able to introduce a high quantity of air into a space without causing a draft.
Extract systems can be a simple toilet extract fan, a commercial extract system, or an industrial or medical system requiring high efflux velocities to ensure that the vitiated air is projected high into the atmosphere. Top in the list of air conditioning suppliers in Kenya
