Ventilation is increasingly being put forward as a preventive measure to minimize the risk of spreading the Covid-19 virus indoors. Logical, because by consistently refreshing the indoor air in homes, offices, public spaces, schools, etc., you dilute the contaminated (and potentially infected) indoor air.
Although there is still no conclusive proof of this, more and more scientists are now indicating that Covid-19 is spread through the air, specifically through very small contaminated particles in that air, called aerosols. These particles can remain suspended in the air for up to more than 20 minutes. And that - especially in well-insulated and airtight buildings - can cause problems. Opening the window briefly is unfortunately not enough. What you need is constant ventilation - by the way, nowadays an obligation in every new or thoroughly energy-renovated building. Not only does this ensure that you breathe healthy indoor air 24/7, but it also dilutes aerosol particles, which reduces the risk of spreading viruses ‘tout court’.

Healthbox 3.0: the smart, connected Smartzone ventilation unit from Renson
The good news is that a smart ventilation system basically does all the work for you, without you having to worry about it yourself. ‘Smart’ means, on the one hand, that your ventilation system continuously monitors indoor air quality thanks to humidity, CO2- and odor sensors. The system then tunes the ventilation level to these fully automatically, for each room in the house. This type of ventilation listens to the name ‘Smartzone ventilation’. With Smartzone ventilation, Renson goes a step further than standard ventilation systems.
Smartzone ventilation provides customized ventilation. In an entire building, the same amount of contaminated indoor air is not necessarily removed everywhere, but is instead removed based on the indoor air quality per room. The worse it is, the more is ventilated per room. This not only makes for an energy-efficient system, but it also gives you the opportunity to isolate a sick person in one room to prevent further spread of viruses. This is because the contaminated indoor air from that room is addressed at the source and discharged directly to the outside. In other words, combined with the natural supply of fresh air in that same room, the contaminated indoor air is isolated, minimizing the chance of spreading infected particles throughout an entire building.

Via the app with the Healthbox 3.0, you get ventilation tips to optimize the use of your device
If your Smartzone ventilation unit is also connected via the Internet, the app will even give you tips on how to use it even more efficiently in exceptional circumstances such as these. In addition, your unit is always up to date, as it is automatically updated with the latest software over the Internet.
Even apart from that, for those who want to minimize the risk of spreading contaminated air particles indoors, we have these ventilation tips:
- Never turn off your ventilation device, on the contrary: if you have the chance to do so (such as via the app with Renson's connected Healthbox 3.0), set it to ‘intensive’ mode.
- In the summer, put as much
