hallway in a flat or bungalow. The system dilutes moisture-laden air and replaces it to control humidity levels between 45 and 55%. PIV systems are effective in reducing condensation, thus preventing issues with mould growth. They can also help to redistribute heat around the home, in turn reducing space heating costs and delivering significant savings for the occupier. PIV systems can be even more effective when used in conjunction with extract fans in ‘wet’ rooms. Our Filterless Fans for social housing, incorporate patented filterless technology for a smooth, uninterrupted passage of air through the fan. In conjunction with PIV systems they can save social housing providers hundreds of thousands of pounds in call-outs, maintenance costs and disrepair claims for condensation and mould-related issues while residents notice an immediate difference in the air quality and condensation and mould growth is no longer an issue.
Social housing
It is becoming increasingly clear to social housing providers that installing effective ventilation goes hand in hand with carrying out energy efficient upgrades. By upgrading the ventilation systems at the same time the burden on maintenance teams can be significantly reduced.
Condensation and Mould Awareness work shops are available from EnviroV ent for social housing providers to help them to be better equipped to deal with these issues. The workshops cover how to identify the signs of condensation and mould in the early stages, assess which solutions will solve the problem in a property and prevent it from reoccurring.
Social housing providers are therefore recognising the need to ensure effective ventilation in residents’ homes, particularly where energy efficient upgrades have taken place. This investment in systems like PIV, has a positive, long term impact both for the fabric of buildings and health of their occupants.
