Ventilation Should Be at the Heart of Home Design

Ventilation is not a one-size-fits-all practice. It must be carefully calibrated to the unique design, layout, and location of each home. Every home differs in size, use, occupancy, and climate, all of which influences ventilation needs and strategies. In a place like Delhi NCR, where temperatures swing from blazing hot summers to chilly winters and air quality can be a real concern, how your home breathes matters more than ever.

Why should you thoughtfully plan out ventilation for your home?

Ventilation is all about moving fresh air through a space while pushing stale or humid air out. When done right, it helps:

• Regulate temperature and humidity

• Reduce indoor pollution and allergens

• Prevent mold and dampness

• Make interiors healthier and more pleasant to live in

• Incorporates Biophilic essence into your Home 

  
  

Ventilation is not optional, it is essential for sustainable living, safeguarding health, cutting costs, and preserving interiors.

Where Do Most People Go Wrong?

Ventilation often gets ignored in the rush to finalize interior design or choose the right paint. Common gaps we see:

• Window placements that look good, but don’t actually let air flow through

• Fully sealed rooms or basements with no exit for moisture or stale air

• Overuse of non-breathable materials like vinyl wallpaper or glossy laminates

• Assuming air conditioners alone are enough

• Trying to block out outdoor pollution by completely sealing the home while unintentionally trapping indoor pollutants, humidity, and heat.

How to integrate ventilation into Home Design?

Whether you're building from scratch or improving an existing space, there are smart, simple ways to make your home more breathable:

1. Passive Ventilation

• Cross-ventilation: Placing windows or vents across from each other to let air naturally flow.

• Stack ventilation: Using vertical spaces like high ceilings, skylights, or windows to let hot air rise and escape.

• Ventilated roofs or internal courtyards: Great for central air flow and reducing heat buildup.

  
  

2. Mechanical Ventilation

• Exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms help remove moisture and odors.

• HRVs or ERVs (Heat/Energy Recovery Ventilators): Ideal for modern, tightly-sealed homes. They bring in fresh air while keeping indoor temperatures steady.

• Air purification: Especially important in Delhi NCR, where population is on rise and clean air is non-negotiable.

  
  

What If You Can’t Build Big Windows or Courtyards?

Not every home has the luxury of open layouts or large windows especially in urban apartments. But there are alternatives:

• Ventilated cladding systems that help walls "breathe"

• Smart window systems with built-in filters for dust and pollution

• Green walls and air-purifying plants inside the home

• Smart home automation that controls ventilation based on indoor air quality

  
  

Small changes can make a big impact.
