Importance of ventilation in our homes and buildings

Ventilation and indoor air quality has never been more topical. We have known for a while that many New Zealand homes and buildings have poor indoor air quality. And we’re all too familiar with the impacts this can have on human health. Now Covid-19 has brought fresh attention on the issue of ventilation. How do we ensure the places we live, work and study in are safe, healthy and fit for purpose?
