It allows for the removal of stale air, excess humidity, odours, and pollutants, guaranteeing good indoor air quality even in airtight homes.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How to eliminate dampness at home permanently?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"When dampness is caused by condensation, the definitive solution involves renewing the air constantly. Forced ventilation prevents steam from accumulating and condensing on walls or ceilings, which is not achieved with occasional ventilation or dehumidifiers.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why does dampness return even if I ventilate by opening the windows?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Because manual ventilation is occasional and depends on the weather and usage. In modern homes, steam generation is continuous, and without forced ventilation, excess humidity accumulates again, especially in winter.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"When should forced ventilation be installed in a home?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Forced ventilation is especially recommended for new builds, renovations, airtight homes, small flats, or homes with recurring dampness and poor air quality problems. It can also be installed in inhabited homes without major works, using centralised or decentralised solutions depending on the case.\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How much can a forced ventilation system save?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"In dual-flow controlled mechanical ventilation systems, heat recovery allows for savings of between 20% and 35% on heating in well-insulated homes.

Each home requires a specific study that analyses HS3 flow rates, airtightness, duct routes, and previous pathologies.
