Common problems of a ventilation system

You need to take precautions to maintain comfortable thermal conditions

Improper ventilation in a building can significantly increase the number of indoor contaminants in your living space. Proper ventilation depends on whether the HVAC system processes are working properly. Homes with high ventilation rates may experience indoor air issues due to uneven air distribution or inadequate exhaust ventilation. An HVAC system designed, installed, balanced, operated, and maintained properly can maintain a clean, healthy indoor air quality. However, if these procedures are not adhered to, the indoor air may become unhealthy for your home’s occupants. The ventilation systems encounter problems on some occasions that deteriorate your indoor quality. To begin with, intermittent airflow. HVAC system designs that run at interrupted or reduced flow during certain parts of the day or in response to thermal conditioning requirements may lead to elevated levels of indoor contaminants and impair contaminant removal. Minimum rates of ventilation should be defined by air distribution, cleanliness, humidity, and temperature. Another common ventilation system problem is uneven air distribution. Failure to maintain proper humidity, temperature, and air movement in a building can emit uncomfortably cold or hot air. Occupants also block supply vents with furniture, laundry, or other objects, thus obstructing airflow patterns, leading to uneven distribution of air. Placement of partitions or any other barriers within your living space may also impair airflow. You need to take precautions to maintain comfortable thermal conditions. In addition to this, you must arrange your furniture and other objects wisely. Improper locations of your home’s supply and exhaust is another common ventilation system problem. The location of all supply vents should be away from exhaust vents and other pollution sources.
