Hi,
I'm still looking at the options for improving ventilation in our house. Have looked at MHRV and MEV thus far.
House is two story detached built in 1950s.
While it has been under my nose for a long time, I just realised that there could possibly be a solution using a chimney that sits almost in the middle of the house. The chimney is now blocked up.
It runs from the kitchen and upstairs the bathroom wall is effectively the side of the chimney.
My question: How feasible is it to install a passive stack vent within the chimney to release all moist air? Would I need to install ducting within the chimney? Or am I fooling myself with all of this?
For info, in the habitable rooms in the house I will be installing humidity sensitive hole in the wall passivents.
Many thanks,
B.
