Ventilation makes the difference

In Brisbane, Australia, we were contacted by a couple that became ill, after they moved in into their new house. Only after they were hospitalised, doctors discovered mould spores in their bodies. The house was also examined, and it turned out that there was a huge problem with indoor air. The air was strongly polluted, there was moisture in the walls, and high CO2 levels were found. Similar to what the doctors discovered, a lot of mould spores were found in the house, which explained why the couple had become ill. Our installer, Ventit, advised the customer to install the Renson Healthbox 3.0. It is a smart, mechanical ventilation-unit. The system contains sensors that analyse the quality of the indoor air. The Healthbox 3.0 detects moisture, CO2, VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds – like formaldehyde e.g.) and will adapt its ventilation level if necessary. In high polluted areas such as living rooms, for instance, Healthbox 3.0 will increase the ventilation level. On the other hand, when everyone’s out for work, the system will function on the lowest level. By adapting itself to the living conditions of the people in the house, the system is the most energy-saving on the market. In Brisbane, it was indeed the lack of ventilation in the house that caused the unhealthy living conditions in the home. As soon as the Healthbox 3.0 was activated, the couple’s symptoms disappeared: “I think we are starting to feel better and less humid during this horrible heatwave. The towels are drying in the bathroom for the first time.” Healthbox 3.0, a positive change Afterwards, the customer sent an e-mail to our installer, in which they stated that Healthbox 3.0 changed their lives tremendously. To quote the couple, they said that: “Every house should have this system installed, thanks to the Healthbox 3.0 we are feeling much better”.
