The Significance of Proper Ventilation
Adequate ventilation is crucial for maintaining a comfortable and healthy indoor environment. Proper ventilation helps to remove stale air, control humidity levels, and reduce the buildup of pollutants, allergens, and odors. In the context of Vancouver’s climate, effective ventilation is particularly important for managing moisture levels and preventing mold growth, which can have adverse effects on both the structure of the home and the health of its occupants.
