What is industrial ventilation?
Ventilation is the act of bringing in "fresh" outdoor air or exchanging the air. Ventilation can be thought of as controlling the environment by using airflow.
General or natural ventilation is referred to as "dilution ventilation". Dilution ventilation is used to control exposure to airborne contaminants. It is commonly used to remove contaminants such as fumes, dusts, and vapours in order to provide a healthy and safe working environment. Dilution ventilation can be accomplished by natural means (e.g., opening a window) or mechanical means (e.g., fans or blowers that clear a general space).
Industrial ventilation systems are designed to move out (exhaust) and bring in (intake) a specific amount of air at a specific speed (velocity), which results in the removal of undesirable contaminants in a specific area or space. While all ventilation systems follow the same basic principles, each system is designed specifically to match the type of work and the rate of contaminant release by an industrial process.
Ventilation is considered an "engineering control" to remove or control contaminants released in indoor work environments. It is one of the preferred and more effective ways to control employee exposure to contaminants released by a process into the air.
Other ways to control contaminants include:
- eliminate the use of the hazardous product,
- substitute with less toxic products,
- process change, or
- work practice change.

As well as swapping out "dirty" air for clean, ERVs also trap pollutants, contaminants, pollen, allergens and many more. This is extremely important especially now, and it ensures that the air entering the home, office, indoor space is healthy and clean. You may not know that the air within most homes is at least five times more contaminated than the air outside!
*Removing and filtering out formaldehydes, allergens, and other toxins from the air indoors, also removes any contaminants that can be
introduced into your home *Reduces odors around the home produced from pets, bathrooms, cooking etc. *Increases the lifespan of your HVAC system. *Reduces the risk of mildew and mold *Reduces dust build up produced from pet dander, pollen, and other materials *Improved sleep has been linked to clean, freshly cycled air *Keeps temperatures from room to room more consistent around the home
