Ventilation in construction is important for several reasons:
-
Health and Safety: Proper ventilation helps to remove indoor air pollutants such as dust, allergens, and fumes, which can be harmful to occupants' health.
-
Comfort: Good ventilation helps regulate indoor temperature and humidity levels, creating a more comfortable living or working environment.
-
Moisture Control: Ventilation helps to prevent the buildup of excess moisture, which can lead to mold growth and structural damage.
-
Energy Efficiency: Properly designed ventilation systems can help reduce energy costs by improving air circulation and reducing the need for mechanical heating and cooling.
-
Compliance: Building codes often require adequate ventilation to ensure a safe and healthy indoor environment for occupants.
