Perks of Passive Ventilation

Even with the cold winter season coming around, there are numerous ways to cut back on your monthly energy bills, even when heating costs are at an all-time high this season. Fortunately, you can make use of passive ventilation to decrease the load on your HVAC system. Read on as Renewal by Andersen® of Memphis, one of the top window installation companies, share the benefits of passive ventilation here.

Passive Ventilation

How Does Passive Ventilation Work?

Passive ventilation utilizes your home’s windows to allow fresh air in, and drive stale air out. Most openings in your home can contribute to passive ventilation, like your doors, vents and other openings. However, positioning is key for your openings so that passive ventilation can work. This is because they can determine how much cool air can circulate in your home.

Things to Consider for Passive Ventilation to Work

It isn’t difficult to pull off passive ventilation for your home, especially if you have gotten a quality window and door replacement project. You can simply do this by opening large windows in your home to allow a cool breeze into your home, and opening windows above and beneath you. It’s also important to work with a skilled window contractor who has the knowledge and experience to tackle projects that heavily rely on passive ventilation. They can propose a plan such as renovating walls to accommodate high vents and additional openings.

To reap and notice the benefits of passive ventilation, your home should be ventilated for around 15 minutes, all days of the week. Make sure that you don’t block off openings like your windows and doors. You don’t have to open all of your windows, and you can choose to make use of your home’s biggest windows, such as side-opening windows to allow the breeze in.

"I can't say enough about Renewal by Andersen. From our initial sit down with the salesman to the final touches being put on our new windows, the whole experience was great! The windows look amazing & the installers were very careful to keep everything clean & cause minimal disruption in my home. Yes, they may be a little expensive, but you pay for what you get. These are quality windows installed by trained professionals. Communication was great & time frame was faster than i expected. They really deliver! I literally had nothing to worry about accept writing the check. I would strongly recommend this company to others! And I'll be calling them back out in the Spring to replace the last 3 windows on my house!"
