How does air quality affect condensation?
Not only is it important to have good air circulation in a home to prevent condensation, but the quality of the air that is being circulated is very important. The new home construction designs and materials that are used today help make homes more energy efficient and air-tight. This has also unfortunately, greatly affected the quality of the air in the home and also caused condensation related enquires to become more frequent. Most heating and cooling systems are used as the primary air circulation system. In a modern air-tight home, these systems will only circulate the air already within the home unless a fresh air supply system is also used. Fresh air supply is mandatory to properly vent and maintain humidity levels in the home, preventing musty smells, condensation and mould growth.
