Image showing behind a bathroom extraction ceiling valve. Dust, debris, bacteria and mould built up through years of poor maintenance. Whole house MVHR units are the lungs of your home.

CO2 levels during my stay in a hotel room with no operational ventilation. The 2nd peak was the meeting room.

Commercial heat recovery unit installed at a primary school. They didn't have the money to maintain the units, so turned them off when they failed. One of 10 units at this school.

45 year old fire intumescent block. Fitted in an eldercare home. Totally forgotten about and creating excessive resistance to the extract fans costing more to operate and reducing efficiency. Major works now required! #ventilation

At £2.5k this powered airflow hood is the best there is! The ultimate accuracy and performance when commissioning MVHR systems

Cheap flexible duct not cut to length before fitting an extract fan, just look at the condition outside, imagine what it's like inside. These corrugated sections cause turbulence, noise and breeding ground for mould & bacteria

Hands up if you always check ventilation grills wherever you go, I can't be the only one.... #ventilation #ieq

Todays communal ventilation inspection uncovered this rust / mould / bacteria growth! The extract unit isn't working, so natural air movement could allow air to carry spores from this growth back down the duct and into the flats! @cathnoakes.bsky.social

Hard truth about ventilation in buildings: £1.4bn NHS spending on poor housing • 10k+ preventable deaths yearly • 65k homes with critical damp/mould • Kids breathing air barely under WHO limits. If it can kill when it fails, it's safety-critical. Simple as that!

We find all sorts in ductwork, but a can of beer in a domestic system! #mvhr #ductwork

Family holiday at a Belgium Center Parcs and this is the CO2 data from my Aranet Monitor. Located at pillow height on the unit in our bedroom. 2 people + dog with the window open. Did I sleep 'well' - err yes, but no, but.... #co2 #iaq
