Intelligent passive stack ventilation (iPSV)

The Glidevale iPSV® intelligent passive stack ventilation system provides an ultra-low maintenance, no-energy alternative to mechanical ventilation. 

Driven primarily by the natural stack effect by which warm air rises, moisture-laden air is removed directly from ‘wet’ rooms (e.g. kitchens and bathrooms). Air inlets located in habitable rooms (living rooms, bedrooms etc) provide a flow of replacement air to the building.
