Aiding Natural Ventilation for Indoor Air Quality

Low-power improvement of circulation of air in small rooms for home air quality and comfort

Product context

Single Window Ventilation

Indoor air quality is a major contributor to health, wellbeing, and daily comfort The current market offers fans, air conditioners, and air purifiers. None of these consider how air naturally flows in a room. Natural ventilation is as simple as opening a window and contributes to increased air quality. Through-ventilation is the ideal situation. With well sized and placed windows air flows through a room without issue. Single-sided/single-window ventilation is the typical setup. It is not ideal as the current of air coming in and out is slow and stagnant.
