VENTILATION and the "new normality"

After listening to numerous solutions to avoid contact with the VIRUS, one of the main recommendations by experts and which has not acquired the real importance it has on our return to the “new normality” is THE NATURAL VENTILATION OF HABITABLE SPACES.

WHY?

  • A ventilated space minimises risk of presence of the virus, we need a clean environment in the spaces
  • The sensation of fresh and natural air in a closed space generates tranquillity and affords safety to users
  • Avoid damp environments by controlling the relative humidity of the air, will help us minimise the atmospheres where the virus is strongest

The scientist Lidia Morawska points out that "the authorities should adopt public health precautions to reduce the transmission by air, such as greater ventilation of interior spaces; use of natural ventilation; avoid the recirculation of air; avoid remaining in another person's direct air flow; minimise the number of people who share the same atmosphere; providing adequate ventilation in nursing homes, hospitals, shops, offices, schools, restaurants and cruise ships".

HOW?

The ventilation of spaces is generated by opening windows by motors (chain or hydraulic piston) and their management systems. Their role is the automatic control of the openings and renewals of air and thus obtain a healthy and favourable atmosphere for the end user and avoid atmospheres where the virus may become stabilised and favour infections. As can well be interpreted from the words of the expert Lidia Morawska “we should focus special attention and priority on buildings where risk groups are greatest or the concentration of users is higher”

Let us generate healthy atmospheres and we will generate health to guarantee our future
