What is a Positive Input Ventilation System and How it can reduce Condensation

Condensation is a common issue in properties that can lead to a variety of problems such as dampness, mold growth, and damage to structural elements. One effective solution to combat condensation is Positive Input Ventilation (PIV).

In this blog post, we will delve into what it is, how it works to prevent condensation, and introduce you to Brookvent’s Airplus!

 

What is Positive Input Ventilation (PIV)?

Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) is a ventilation system designed to maintain a healthy indoor environment by improving air quality and preventing the build-up of moisture. The concept behind PIV is simple yet highly effective.

It introduces fresh, filtered air into a property, displacing stale air and excess moisture.

 

How PIV Works:

This systems typically consist of a central unit, which is installed in a loft or other suitable space, and ducting that runs to the living areas of the property. The central unit draws in fresh, filtered air from outside, and this air is then introduced into the property at a continuous low rate.

This positive pressure created by the system helps to push out stale, moisture-laden air through natural leakage points, such as gaps around windows and doors.

 

Preventing Condensation:

Condensation occurs when warm, moist air comes into contact with cold surfaces, leading to water vapor turning into liquid. PIV addresses this issue by diluting and displacing the humid air inside a property, reducing the chances of it coming into contact with cold surfaces and forming condensation.

Benefits:

1. Improved Air Quality: Ensures a constant supply of fresh, filtered air, promoting a healthier indoor environment by reducing pollutants, allergens, and stale air.
2. Energy Efficiency: As they don’t rely on opening windows for ventilation. This is particularly advantageous in cold or polluted urban environments.
3. Condensation Control: By maintaining balanced humidity levels, PIV helps prevent condensation, which, in turn, mitigates the risk of mold growth and damage to the property.
4. Low Maintenance: PIV systems are relatively low maintenance, requiring periodic filter replacements and occasional checks to ensure optimal performance.
