The insufficient air in a room will increase carbon dioxide and decrease oxygen which will create headaches and stuffy breathing inside the room. It’s important to keep circulation balanced in order to avoid such issues.
Mold, mildew and condensation
Mold and mildew are problems formed and are spread faster. It affects easily who is affected with asthma. This is due to the very poor indoor air quality.
Humidity and temperature

Letting natural air into a building is the best way. However we can’t predict the inflow and outflow of air, it’s essential as well as naturally healthy. Sometimes outside temperature can also affect ventilation
Spot ventilation
We have seen exhaust fan above the kitchen and the air vent in the bathroom, likewise spot ventilation at office helps in exhausting moisture and air pollution. This goes well where extra ventilation is required in the commercial building.
Whole building ventilation
This is the replacement of natural and spot ventilation when you feel it’s not that effective. Whole building ventilation with control helps in removing dust and air pollutants.
Air conditioning
Air conditioning is one of the easiest ways to install in a commercial building to get good ventilation. It can be adjusted as per employees need even at extreme weather. It helps in purifying, filtering and supply pure air to office interiors.
