Ventilation and air conditioning systems

Balanced ventilation systems

Increasingly better insulated buildings with ever tighter shells mean that moisture and odours can no longer escape through joints. In addition, fresh air can no longer easily enter the house. This is where a balanced ventilation system (BVS) comes in: These ventilation-supported systems ensure an air exchange by introducing fresh air into the rooms and transporting used air, pollutants and odours away. This increases well-being and prevents moisture damage and mould:

Indoor ventilation maintenance – here’s how it’s done

Indoor climate measuring instruments and probes from Testo support you in all phases of a BVS: From the planning phase through the optimum adjustment up to regular monitoring of the performance – intuitively, precisely and taking legal conformity into consideration. Indoor climate measurement technology from Testo can of course be used not only for centralised, but also for decentralised indoor ventilation.
