Indoor air quality (IAQ) has become more important today with houses being built airtight to reduce air and moisture infiltration.
This air tightness results in poor house ventilation. This can create many indoor air quality problems including mold and unpleasant
odors. It is recommended that todays houses have a controlled way of moving fresh air into the house, removing stale/contaminated
air from it and conditioning the air moving around the building.
Indoor Air Quality
Filtration
With homes being built and remodeled more insulated and tighter than ever - homes are becoming virtually draft-free. And while
these changes are making homes more energy efficient, they are also creating a number of filtration problems. The air we breathe in
our homes is loaded with pollutants like pollen, lung-damaging dust, pet hair, dander, dust mites, mold spores, bacteria and viruses.
Modern
Sheet Metal has a number of solutions for filtering the air you breathe. Please contact us with your questions and we'll be sure to
find a solution to fit your needs.
Humidifiers
Other than ambient temperature, nothing affects a body's perception of comfort more than the humidity level.
Industry experts
state that keeping your home's humidity between 30-60% can help reduce the effects of many unwanted conditions. Excess humidity or
too little humidity can not only lead to an unhealthy home but also cause permanent damage to your home and belongings.
An Aprilaire
Humidifier can put humidity into your house using a control that ensures your house doesn't exceed the amount of humidity that it
can accept.
Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV)
Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) is the technology that exhausts pollutants and excess moisture. It efficiently recovers heat from
the exhaust stream during cold weather and pre-cools and pre-dehumidifies incoming air during hot, muggy weather. This means better
indoor air quality for your family and less risk of moisture related damage to your home.
At Modern Sheet Metal we use RenewAire ERVs.
RenewAire has been manufacturing ERVs since 1983, in Madison, Wisconsin. RenewAire has proven itself to be a reliable, maintenance
free ventilation product.
