Wondering if i could get some advice please on a plan I have for some basic ventilation for our old house we have owned a couple of years and almost finished doing up...
Some background.. Old house.. 70 + years.. 2.8mtr ceilings.. 120 m2..
So far we have:
1. Laid polythene liner on ground under floors.. to stop the dampness..
2 Installed Polystyrene insulation between joists..
3.Put a tonne of Batts in the ceiling. 150mm +
4. Have so far double glazed all the south side windows.. DIY using plexiglass.
All together this makes the house pretty warm but unfortunately our plans have changed somewhat and we might not be here as long as we planned initially.. so we don't want to spend too much money on it.. for ventilation..
While we leave windows and doors open a lot for ventilation.. I was wondering if pumping some fresh air into the house with would help to reduce dust and I guess must help generally to reduce dampness..
I have a Weiss inline fan (I think from a room-to-room heat transfer system) that runs at 362m3/hr / 100.6l/sec that I was planning to use to bring fresh air in from under the eaves..
Question 1: I guess I would bring this in from the north side of the house.. how much do you think I could achieve by doing this.. the lounge/dining/kitchen is an open plan design.
We also have a sunroom on the north side that heats up like an oven during the day.. even in the winter.. and I was planning to use a through-wall fan to bring that heat into the adjoining lounge, which while it is also north facing, the eaves don't allow as much sun into the lounge..
Any thoughts would be appreciated..
