Improve air circulation in your home

I have seen in many houses particularly in apartments, that the air inside a room or in the whole house does not circulate or it remains static. Most of us often neglect it or don't feel it. But at times, you will feel suffocated or you will wake up with dizziness or a heavy head. But you might have noticed that when you keep your exhaust on in the bathroom attached to your bedroom and sleep that night, the morning dizziness does not appear.

These all happen because of poor air circulation inside the house. The key is air should be able to come inside from outdoor and the air inside should be able to go out. If we take care of it, we can enjoy benefits of fresh air. Of course, air conditioning does the same thing besides controlling temperature and purifying air. But today we will discuss about achieving the same, in a much cheaper way.

Firstly, we have to see whether you have windows/doors at proper places in your house. Then based on that, we will figure out what best can be done for solving the problem. Lets take a use case.

This is a room having a single door, no other way air can travel in/out. What can we do now?

First of all, do not buy a flat having this kind of room, never. If at all you end up buying it, then you may have to do some wear and tear either with the wall or the door. For this kind of room, buy a door which is having holes in it. For example, door having net, grill door. Another kind of grill door known as ventilation door grill - which is very convenient for privacy, at the same time for air circulation as well. Once you fit this kind of door, that means you have just given a provision for air flow, but not actually enabled circulation. For that to happen, look at the figure below.

We have laid pipes along the roof or the side walls having an exhaust blowing inside. The fan will suck air into the pipe and exhales it far inside the room preferably the opposite corner of the room. Of course, there will be some amount of air which will flow from outlet into the inlet again. But due to suction near the door, air from outside the door (that is why ventilation door grill) will also flow in and keep the level of carbon dioxide low. You will definitely get fresh air.
