Ventilation and the indoor environment / Water and Air Quality Bureau, Healthy Environments and Consumer Safety.: H144-54/1-2018E-PDF

“Canadians spend approximately 90% of their time indoors. While the first step to ensure good indoor air quality (IAQ) is to reduce indoor sources of pollution, ventilation is also an essential strategy. Proper ventilation reduces pollutant and moisture levels that may directly or indirectly result in poor occupant comfort and/or adverse health effects. Residential ventilation is complex due to the high number of types of systems and approaches to ventilating homes. This document provides technical information regarding ventilation systems in residences, and discusses popular ventilation systems used in Canadian homes as well as factors that can affect ventilation”--Preamble, p. 5.
