Ventilation for Your Apartment
|
|
In Latvia, many apartments, especially in Soviet-era multi-apartment buildings, still rely on natural exhaust ventilation systems, which are often no longer effective or functional at all. Even in several new developments, insufficient attention is paid to ventilation solutions, with costs being cut at the expense of residents' comfort and health. However, ventilation isn't a luxury; it's a fundamental requirement for a healthy and energy-efficient living environment.
Many apartment residents choose to ventilate rooms by simply opening windows, but this habit has several significant drawbacks:
Heat energy loss , especially during the heating season
Outdoor pollution entering indoors
Unpredictable ventilation – not consistent or controllable
Noise levels and discomfort
A heat recovery ventilation (HRV) system with heat recovery ensures the supply of fresh air and the extraction of polluted air, while simultaneously retaining heat indoors. Such a system:
Reduces heating costs
Improves air quality
Prevents moisture and mold formation
Operates quietly and automatically
The operating principle of a heat recovery system is based on warm indoor air flowing out through a heat exchanger, which then heats the incoming cold air. As a result, no heat energy already generated indoors is lost.

In the spaces where we live and spend most of our day, air quality directly impacts our health and well-being. The most crucial parameters are:
CO₂ level – affects concentration
Humidity – excessive humidity promotes mold growth
Temperature and pollution – cause fatigue, headaches, and respiratory problems
One of the first indicators of excessive humidity is condensation on windows – a signal that your ventilation isn't working effectively.
Implementing a heat recovery system in your apartment isn't just a step towards energy efficiency; it's an investment in your health, comfort, and the value of your property.
We, at Mājaelpo, offer personalized solutions for both renovated buildings and new developments, tailoring the ventilation system specifically to your needs.
