Ventilation trends

摘要

According to Nitish Singh, manager of system products for Carrier, "One of the major trends favorably impacting the ventilation industry is improved air tightness with new home construction. This is driven by a greater awareness than before to reduce energy usage." Tighter homes, he said, will drive a greater need for adequate ventilation necessary to maintain good IAQ.rn"There is also an increasing trend for formalized standards for adequate ventilation, such as ASHRAE 62.2, which prescribes minimum ventilation requirements in a dwelling," he said. Numerous regions are adopting ventilation standards such as ASHRAE 62.2, either locally or state-wide." He expects the trend to grow over time. As a result, it is also expected to drive greater demand for ventilation related products.
