Do we need a Ventilation System for our airtight homes?

Whether you use Structural Insulated Panels or a 140mm timber frame construction with a higher R-Value, don’t forget your house will be airtight and you create condensation on the inside. We even see it on standard builds, that people complain about the moisture on their windows or damp curtains etc. So this issue very common and you only get rid of it with a good quality Ventilation System. If someone tells you, you won’t need it, you save on the wrong angle of your project. Rather install a cheaper kitchen or floor, because that’s what you can change, but a ventilation system is easier to install during your build.

Our team from CoolSpaces has made the decision to choose a good quality system and we are working with “The Heating Company” in Auckland, who has different systems to choose from.
