So what are the health consequences?
Poor ventilation makes our homes "sick". Poor ventilation causes condensation and mould which damages the walls and makes the occupants sick. High humidity levels - can trigger allergies - complicate respiratory diseases brought by mites and mildew - allow mould, mildew and mites to thrive in the moist environment So we do need good ventilation - better air quality means a healthier environment.
Ways to Improve Ventilation
1. Open doors and windows
This helps create cross-ventilation that pushes warm air, together with the circulating pollutants and excess moisture, out of your home and lets fresher and cooler air enter. This reduces the need for air-conditioning, thus saving money on utility bills. Just open the windows or doors that are situated directly opposite allow the natural cross ventilation.
2. Drying your laundry and wet towels outside
Drying laundry insides our homes creates excess moisture which may increase mould growth and trigger allergies.
3. Get a fan
One of the quickest way to improve ventilation is with a simple fan.
There are a variety to choose from, including ceiling fans, freestanding fans and table fans.
