As the world continues to learn and react to the Coronavirus pandemic, we're being told more and more about the importance of natural ventilation. Research has shown that being a room with fresh air can reduce the risk of infection from Covid-19 by 70%. Adding fresh air to a room can make the air, temperature and conditions feel more comfortable, and will give individuals the confidence to safely work in your environment In addition, natural ventilation solutions are a great way to reduce energy use and cost.

When it comes to 2021 specifically and natural ventilation, the government has confirmed that ventilating a room is just as important as other actions, such as ‘Hands, Face, Space’. This is one of the most effective ways to control the spread of the virus. If you’re in a room or building which has automatic Window Actuators or actuators controlled by a sensor, you can ensure that you’re keeping your team, pupils and visitors healthy. Sensor and timer controlled actuators also mean that you can be confident that your room is temperature controlled and being appropriately ventilated throughout the day.
