Humidity in homes creates a damp and moldy environment which increases the risk of developing respiratory diseases and life-long allergies. There is only one really effective long-term solution to beating the consequences of a poor indoor climate – to replace the stale air with fresh air. Yet almost six out of ten people do not air out their homes enough.
VELUX venting skylights can effectively reduce the amount of humidity in a home. Once open, humid air rises up and out of the skylights while fresh air is drawn in through vertical windows. This is commonly referred to as the "stack effect." This process can refresh the air in a home in as little as twenty minutes, depending on the number of venting skylights.
