Positive Input Ventilation Systems (PIV)

Positive Input Ventilation Systems (PIV)

Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) is an energy efficient method of pushing out and replacing stale unhealthy air with drier fresh air by gently introducing filtered air into the home and increasing the circulation of fresh air around the property and improving the indoor air quality (IAQ).


Ventilation is condensation and mould’s biggest enemy as it removes the root cause: the moisture in the air. Mould is a simple plant; if you want to kill it, stop watering it. If mould has already formed, painting over it will not solve the problem. By removing the moisture and other pollutants from the air, condensation cannot settle and mould cannot grow which removes the problem at source.

How does positive input ventilation work?

Positive input ventilation (PIV) works by pulling fresh air into the unit and then filtering that air before pushing it gently through your home at ceiling level. This creates positive air pressure in the home which in turn, forces air and any pollutants outside. A home has natural points of leakage and so with positive pressure air is pushed out of these leakage points.

Are PIV units better than dehumidifiers?

Dehumidifiers are more commonplace than PIV units, usually because PIV units aren't as well-known. Both do similar jobs but PIV systems are built and designed to service your whole house as opposed to a single room or targeted area. What's more PIV units are often more energy efficient, they consume less power and require very little maintenance.
