balanced ventilation

Balanced ventilation is a system that ensures the amount of air entering a building equals the amount of air exiting, maintaining good indoor air quality and stable pressure. It often uses a heat exchanger to recover warmth from outgoing air to pre-condition incoming air, improving energy efficiency. This setup helps remove indoor pollutants, moisture, and odors while providing fresh, breathable air. By balancing inflow and outflow, it prevents issues like drafts or pressure differences that can cause air leaks or indoor discomfort. Overall, balanced ventilation creates a healthier, more comfortable indoor environment with optimal airflow management.
