Hi Louise,
#1. It needs to be vented into each of your bedrooms and all living spaces.
#2. When the roof cavity is warmer than the house it should be capable of moving up to 2 1/2 to 3 times the air volume of your home. (so with a higher stud it is important the system can cope with the volume of your home)
#3. The system you install should work around your needs, if you want a heat transfer (say you have a large w/fire in your lounge) you can have one.
#4. I’m guessing your home does not get tooo hot in summer, Therefore you probably don’t need a summer fresh air supply, but you should be able to add that process if you need to.
#5. You should be able to choose the target temperature in your home - that way the system is working to raise or lower the house temperature to your needs, and should not cut off when the roof gets hot but the house is not up to your chosen temperature.
I hope this helps if you need more specific info email me through the contact page.

Hi Anne,
I don’t entirely agree with your statement above about double glazing stopping the impression of condensation on glass and that the moisture will be in your carpets.
It all depends on dew points doesn’t it? So if the temperature is maintained in the room to an adequate level the moisture will remain in the air unless it comes into contact with a cold surface, right!

Hi Nick, in response for Anne,
True, dew point is very important…..(the dew point at the surface of the glass/aluminium)
So the Double Glazing keeps the surface of the inside of the glass up therefore we do not see the condensation appearing on the glass or the aluminium.
But the moisture stays suspended in the air increasing the humidity in the home and likely hood of mould growth and very good conditions for increasing the levels of
both bacteria and viruses.. With double glazing means that people do not want to open windows and give the home fresh air.

I’ve just uploaded a new ebook on the conditions that induce perfect conditions to enable condensation and therefore mould to grow.
Download the ebook, and use to your advantage and please make comment on the page where you can also download the ebook.
Thanks
