October Focus: Ventilation
Mechanical ventilation is a fundamental principle of Passive House design. It is absolutely vital given how airtight Passive House buildings are, and it helps ensure that those inside get a steady supply of fresh, filtered air all day long. For that reason, the components that provide ventilation are often referred to as the lungs of the building. We’ll be focusing on these systems throughout the month, but you can also learn more by checking out the articles and videos below!
