How to solve the ventilation problem in the middle room
In modern residential design, the middle unit often faces the problem of poor ventilation because it is sandwiched between units on both sides. Especially in summer or humid seasons, insufficient air circulation can easily lead to stuffy indoors, accumulation of odors, and even the growth of mold. This article will combine the hot topics and actual cases in the past 10 days on the Internet to provide scientific and practical ventilation solutions for middle-house owners.
1. The core reasons for ventilation problems in middle rooms
By analyzing the building design and user feedback, the ventilation problems in the middle room are mainly caused by the following factors:
| Reason | Specific performance |
|---|---|
| House type structure restrictions | There are only windows on one side or part of the area, and convection cannot be formed. |
| High building density | Surrounding buildings block the wind and the wind weakens |
| Insufficient floor height | Limited space for vertical air flow |
| Decoration design defects | Too many partitions impede airflow |
2. Comparison of popular ventilation solutions
Based on the recent discussion on social platforms (such as Xiaohongshu and Zhihu), the following five mainstream solutions and their advantages and disadvantages are sorted out:
| Plan | Implementation | Advantages | Disadvantages | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fresh air system | Install whole-house plumbing or wall-mounted equipment | Filter PM2.5, ventilate 24 hours a day | Filter elements need to be replaced regularly | High (5,000-20,000 yuan) |
| Exhaust fan + window combination | Install a powerful exhaust fan in the bathroom/kitchen | Instantly improve local ventilation | Noisy | Low (200-1000 yuan) |
| Door and window renovation | Enlarge windows or add interior windows | Significantly improve natural ventilation | Property approval required | Medium (3000-8000 yuan) |
| air circulation fan | Diagonal placement promotes convection | Energy saving and portable | Requires manual operation | Low (100-500 yuan) |
| Green plant assistance | Place purifying plants such as tiger orchids and pothos | landscaping | Limited effect | Very low (50-200 yuan) |
3. Practical suggestions: Optimize ventilation according to scenarios
1.Planning before decoration: Recommended"Transparent Layout", reduce physical partition walls and use glass sliding doors or hollow screens to separate spaces. A recent popular case on Douyin shows that removing non-load-bearing walls can increase ventilation efficiency by more than 40%.
2.Moved in and renovated: Refer to the hotly discussed topics on Weibo"Drawing Simulation Method", install oscillating fans at diagonal positions of doors and windows, and use humidity differences (such as opening windows after bathroom dehumidification) to accelerate air flow.
3.Extreme weather response: Zhihu highly praised answers and recommendations"Intermittent ventilation": In summer, open windows for 30 minutes in the morning and evening, and use a dehumidifier to control the humidity below 60% to avoid the continuous influx of hot air.
4. New trends in ventilation technology in 2023
Two breakthrough technologies were screened out from technology media reports in the past 10 days:
Conclusion
Solving the problem of ventilation in the middle room requires comprehensive selection based on building conditions, budget and usage scenarios. It is recommended to give priority to low-cost solutions (such as air circulation fans + green plants). If the effect is not good, consider upgrading the equipment. The recent Baidu Index shows that the search volume for "small apartment ventilation" has increased by 35% year-on-year, indicating that this issue is attracting widespread attention and more innovative products may be launched in the future.
