The importance of ventilation in community garages. In Spain, between 5,000 and 10,000 people suffer from carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning each year, with an average of 125 deaths. The maintenance of the ventilation system in garages and parking lots should be carried out periodically...

In this article, we will focus on an essential component for achieving efficient and sustainable spaces: the Heat Recovery in mechanical ventilation. Energy efficiency has become, in recent years, indisputably, the center of priorities in housing construction.

The WELL certificate is an international system based on ten categories set by the International Well Building Institute. These measures focus on the health and well-being of people, going beyond the more common measurements such as air quality, water, or lighting.

The presence of a large number of people in a closed and poorly ventilated space is the perfect breeding ground for the expansion of the coronavirus. It must be taken into account that one of the greatest sources of transmission are the so-called aerosols. These are small particles that are emitted when talking, breathing, coughing, or sneezing. Therefore, in addition to wearing a mask, social distancing, and hand washing, ventilation systems for offices and businesses are one of the most useful tools to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

Why are ventilation systems important?

Although COVID-19 is a disease that still generates much uncertainty, it is true that, little by little, more quality information about its transmission is becoming known. One of these highlighted aspects is that, as the Ministry of Health states in multiple reports, the viruses contained in aerosols have the ability to cause infection, especially under certain circumstances: in proximity to the index case for a prolonged time and in closed and poorly ventilated spaces. For this reason, health recommendations always appeal to gathering of non-cohabiting individuals in outdoor environments. However, this fact...

If there is anything that the pandemic has helped us to manifest, it is the importance of ventilation in the fight against the pandemic, eliminating contaminated air in enclosed spaces and sanitizing our interiors. From the beginning, the use of masks, maintaining social distance, or hand washing has been promoted. But as we have learned more about the virus and its contagion, one measure has gained ground due to its proven effectiveness in preventing contagion: proper ventilation of enclosed spaces. In the following lines, we explain the...

It is true that even months later, we still do not know some specific aspects of the coronavirus, but there are others that seem to be quite clear. One of them is that its contagion is more likely in closed spaces lacking optimal ventilation. That is why it is very important to avoid, as much as possible, this type of environment. It is not always possible, and in those cases, ventilating is the best alternative.  There are different options to do this, but in the following lines, we want to focus on one of them. Therefore, we show you how the...

Do you feel safe in your home, at work, or in your study center? In this case, we are not referring to any matter related to criminal issues, but we are talking about your own health. With the outbreak of the coronavirus, it is more important than ever that the air around us is clean, especially not to leave any margin for action for aerosol transmission. Therefore, in the following lines, we show you all the necessary information about how to ventilate closed spaces

First of all, it should be noted that aerosols are small particles emitted when breathing, speaking, singing, coughing, or sneezing. In this sense, they have been considered the main culprits of the feared coronavirus transmission. Furthermore, since their influence on the rapid spread of the pandemic was determined, much research has been conducted on various factors such as, for example, the distance these droplets can travel or the time they remain suspended in the air. Therefore, in the following lines, we want to provide...

Do you remember what your life was like before the pandemic? It may not be easy for you because the months following the detection of a new virus have undoubtedly changed almost everything. The arrival of the coronavirus has transformed many customs and made us aware of how vulnerable the collective lifestyle is. Furthermore, in this context, new concepts have been incorporated into our everyday vocabulary, as well as previously unexplored concerns. Therefore, it is very interesting to delve deeper into the relationship that exists between aerosols and...
