Project Showcase:
Ventilation Solution for an Airtight House with Low Roof Space

PUBLISHED MAR 2021
This well-insulated family property located in a new subdivision in Rangiora, Canterbury 
needed a solution to reduce condensation levels and ensure better quality air.
The Goal
With no previous ventilation installed in the house, 
the owners wanted to lower condensation and 
minimise moisture build-up to allow a better 
climate within the home.
The Challenge
Due to the house already being very well-insulated 
above standard building code, it has a very tight 
envelope creating a lack of airflow. This resulted in 
high moisture levels which, by default, means any 
heating device will have to work harder. For this 
home, it meant the heat pumps that were already 
installed took much longer in winter to heat a 
space to set temperature.
The moisture build-up was the single biggest 
challenge faced on this property, with 
running windows in the bedrooms and mould 
levels ever-increasing.
