What is PIV (Positive Input Ventilation)
Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) is an energy efficient method of pushing out and replacing stale unhealthy air with drier fresh air by gently introducing filtered air into the home and increasing the circulation of fresh air around the property and improving the indoor air quality (IAQ).
Ventilation is condensation and mould’s biggest enemy as it removes the root cause: the moisture in the air. Mould is a simple plant; if you want to kill it, stop watering it. If mould has already formed, painting over it will not solve the problem. By removing the moisture and other pollutants from the air, condensation cannot settle and mould cannot grow which removes the problem at source.
Why is a Nuaire Drimaster Needed?
Condensation is the opposite of evaporation and occurs when water vapour changes state to become liquid water. It usually happens when humid air cools, at which point water vapour condenses into liquid water droplets. It can also happen when the air becomes too humid, beyond its saturation point. Condensation is a key part of the water cycle, forming water droplets in clouds when warm and cold fronts meet. Condensation can also occur when warm and humid air meets a cold surface, such as a window or wall within a home. A build-up of condensation is a common problem within homes of all types and sizes, especially in the winter months. Over a quarter of British homes (27%) already report an issue with condensation, damp, and mould. As condensation can cause damp and mouldy conditions within houses, it’s an important issue to solve. Luckily, there are clear steps to identify and solve a condensation problem.
