The importance of proper ventilation indoors
To maintain a healthy indoor environment, it is important to ensure proper ventilation that circulates fresh air, reduces pollutants and allergens, beneficially affecting the health of residents and preserving the structure of the building. Without proper ventilation, spaces become saturated with stagnant air, which can cause discomfort, respiratory problems and even contribute to the spread of diseases.
Ventilation equipment and indoor climate solutions, such as air purifiers, exhaust fans, HVAC and recuperation systems, maintain optimal airflow and quality. Air purifiers filter dust, pollen and bacteria, exhaust fans ensure fresh air circulation, while HVAC systems cool, heat and regulate humidity, creating a balanced indoor climate. Recuperation fans energy-efficiently use the heat of the exhaust air to process fresh air.
Additionally, smart thermostats allow you to automatically control ventilation, optimizing air quality and saving energy. Overall, these systems help regulate temperature, humidity and pollutant levels, ensuring a comfortable and healthy environment for living and working.
By using various ventilation and climate systems, buildings become not only comfortable, but also healthy, protecting the structure and equipment from damage and promoting the well-being and productivity of residents.
We design, install and service heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. In one place – from idea to service.
Smart heat
Climate equipment available to improve indoor air quality
Indoor air quality (IAQ) is directly dependent on the ventilation system. Various devices improve IAQ by removing exhaust air, bringing in fresh air, controlling humidity, and filtering pollutants. Mechanical ventilation systems can be supply (bringing in fresh air), exhaust (removing exhaust air), or balanced, combining both mechanisms. Heat recovery (HRV) systems use the heat of the exhaust air to heat fresh air in an energy-efficient manner, while maintaining high air quality. Air purifiers with HEPA filters reduce dust, allergens, and pollutants, while humidity controllers prevent mold growth. HVAC system ducts ensure effective air circulation and indoor climate control. Heat recovery ventilators (ERVs) are especially useful in extreme climates, regulating humidity and saving energy. Ultraviolet (UVGI) systems additionally destroy viruses and bacteria. Demand-controlled ventilation (DCV) automatically adjusts air supply depending on room occupancy, while variable-speed fans optimize ventilation and energy consumption. Specialty fans can be used for specific purposes, such as radon mitigation.
Modern indoor climate solutions often combine these devices with smart control systems, providing individually tailored, energy-efficient and optimal IAQ that maintains a comfortable and healthy environment.

How to choose the right ventilation solutions for your needs
Choosing the right ventilation solution depends on the size of the room, the existing air quality and individual needs. The main goal is to maintain a healthy, comfortable and productive environment, while saving energy and reducing costs. The first step is to carry out an indoor air quality assessment to identify areas where improvements are needed. Based on the assessment, select suitable equipment, such as air handling units, fans, diffusers and grilles, prioritizing energy efficiency. In hot climates, consider cooling solutions, and in cold climates, heating. In industrial and commercial spaces, it is also important to control humidity and particle levels. Indoor climate solutions can be passive, using natural air flow, or active, with fans and ducts. The choice depends on the nature of the premises and the level of climate control required. The noise level of the systems and maintenance requirements should also be taken into account, as some equipment requires more regular technical inspection. Consulting a ventilation specialist will help you choose the most suitable solution, ensuring a comfortable, healthy and productive indoor climate. Proper ventilation not only complies with regulations, but also improves well-being, productivity and energy efficiency.

To get clean, oxygen-rich air, as well as a healthy, comfortable environment, it is not enough to just open a window and let air flow into the room. Of course, fresh air will flow into the room, but this will be a temporary effect that will quickly fade and will not provide the desired results, which is why it is also called passive ventilation, because after a while the air returns to its previous state. It is great if the surrounding environment has clean air, but if it is polluted with exhaust gases, emissions from factories, then when you open a window and think that the room is being ventilated, the opposite effect occurs. In this case, the air in the room can become even more polluted than outside. Because in addition to the outside air that has flowed in, there are also indoor factors that affect the microclimate, which will also be mentioned below. Such an air cocktail will have an adverse effect on all living organisms that will be indoors, and will also affect the longevity of the building.

Opening a window can cause a lot of heat loss, thus increasing heating costs, which are usually much higher in the cold season than in the summer season. Not to mention the rapid temperature fluctuations that occur as a result of passive ventilation and can have an impact on health. Such an action cannot regulate either the humidity in the room or, for example, the reduction of mold. Passive ventilation is especially not recommended in rooms where there are small children, because there is always a risk of drafts when using such ventilation.
It would be a mistake to think that controlled air exchange can occur only by opening a room window. It should also be remembered that in a room without a ventilation system, airlessness and condensation on the windows of the house can form. These situations cannot be solved by opening the windows of the room alone. Because most often, when it is cold outside, rooms are ventilated less often, but with a ventilation system, this problem disappears, because this system will do everything for you so that the air in the room you are in is beneficial to your health, namely, the air, humidity and temperature in the room will be controlled. Everything is done for you so that you can stay in an environment with clean and fresh air.

If you use modern solutions and materials, as well as comply with existing thermal insulation standards, the building structures will be relatively airtight and non-breathable. If you do not think about the ventilation system, ensuring a healthy microclimate can be problematic. The microclimate is affected by various conditions, such as the season, area of the room, climate, air speed, etc. Mold, excess moisture, condensation, various bacteria can form in the room, which can adversely affect health, causing allergic reactions. This can be hoarseness, skin problems, eye irritation. These are just some of the options for the consequences on health that can be caused by prolonged stay in rooms that do not have a high-quality ventilation system.
Therefore, with the help of our ventilation systems, it is possible to prevent these unpleasant household and health problems in a timely manner. It is better to invest in maintaining high-quality air than to divert these funds to health treatment. It should be emphasized that it is better to entrust the construction of a ventilation system to professionals so that the result is truly effective, does not disappoint, and provides the favorable results mentioned below.

Ventilation equipment is characterized by its efficiency coefficient. When comparing different ventilation equipment, one of the best quality indicators is the efficiency coefficient of the recuperator. The recovery technology used in such equipment involves heating the incoming air with the heat of the outgoing air, and the coefficient characterizes the percentage of thermal energy that is recovered in the air exchange process.
Proper ventilation installation will provide not only the above-mentioned advantages, but will also ensure the longevity of the building and the efficient use of energy resources, which is a very relevant issue in this era.
