Air quality: something to learn about

The quality of the air we breathe every day is not always perceptible. However, one parameter can help us understand when air exchange in an occupied space may not be sufficient: the concentration of carbon dioxide, or CO₂. CO₂ is produced primarily by human respiration. In an enclosed and occupied space, its concentration tends to […]

Convinced that respect for the environment and sustainability must be of fundamental importance to our company’s development, we are pleased to inform you that we have obtained the Since talk of the 110% ECOBONUS first began, all industry professionals have repeatedly asked why Controlled Mechanical Ventilation (CMV) had not been included amongst the measures eligible […]

Humidity refers to the amount of water vapour present in the air. It is a very important parameter for assessing air quality in domestic or workplace environments. Indeed, an environment that is too dry or too humid poses risks to both health and the building structure itself. A low level of water vapour over the […]

Mould is a fungus made up of filaments, known as hyphae, and grows in damp environments when it finds a surface suitable for growth. The presence of mould indoors can pose health risks and indicate the need to assess the room’s ventilation more closely. What causes mould? Mould originates and develops through spores, microscopic structures […]

In recent years, the inclusion of a thermal bypass device in Controlled Mechanical Ventilation units has become increasingly common. The purpose of the thermal bypass is to prevent heat recovery, either wholly or partially, in cases where this is not desirable. In this way, ideal indoor conditions are more easily maintained, without having to take […]

In most cases, energy recovery involves only sensible heat (the transfer of temperature from one flow to another), but it can also involve total heat, that is, not only sensible heat but also latent heat (the transfer and recovery of temperature and humidity) The enthalpy heat exchanger allows both sensible and latent energy to be […]

nZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Building) buildings are designed to have near-zero energy consumption, as the name suggests. This means they have an extremely low energy requirement, achieved through the use of renewable energy sources and the implementation of new technologies. Characteristics of nZEB buildings nZEB buildings do not have zero energy consumption – a target […]
