Creating a comfortable and healthy indoor environment is essential for both residential and commercial spaces. Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems play a pivotal role in achieving this by regulating indoor air quality and maintaining a consistent temperature. These systems are particularly vital in specialized environments like greenhouses, where they enable the cultivation of plants that may not thrive in the natural outdoor climate. With the rise of urbanization, the significance of HVAC systems has become more pronounced, as they combat indoor air pollution—one of the top environmental concerns globally.
Greenhouses rely on precise climate control to foster plant growth, often requiring conditions not naturally available in the surrounding environment. An effective HVAC system in a greenhouse ensures that a diverse range of plants can flourish by providing the necessary temperature, humidity, and air quality.
Heating systems within HVAC units come in various forms, each with its own method of distributing warmth:
To maximize efficiency, it's crucial to insulate these systems against external weather conditions to minimize heat loss.
Ventilation is the process of exchanging indoor air with fresh outdoor air to manage air quality, temperature, and remove contaminants. There are two primary types of ventilation:
Air conditioning units in HVAC systems remove heat through radiation and convection. Refrigerants absorb heat from the air by evaporation, and as the air cools, moisture condenses on the coils and is drained away, helping to control humidity levels. Regular maintenance of filters is necessary to maintain system efficiency and prevent power losses.
While the general functions of HVAC systems are well-known, there are some statistics that are less commonly discussed:

For a satisfactory job of eliminating excessively hot air, it is usually essential to have powered wall and/or roof exhausters. These fans should also help to control air pressure within the building whether it be negative or positive pressure.
Attic Fans
Attic and roof ventilation allows excess heat and moisture to escape at home to reduce summer cooling costs, pre-mature deterioration of roofing materials and condensation can lead to costly repairs. Effective attic ventilation relies on natural convection to pull air from the top to the bottom position, often in the open in Sofia, and the exhaust hot air from the ceiling vent in a higher position, such as through a gable, or open. Many new and existing homes are not ceilings, and its architecture can not afford soffits perforations for ventilation.

Attic fans are, without a doubt, effective tools in bringing ample air exposure to the attic. Without these, all the heat from the sunlight is absorbed into the house even without bringing noticeable change to the temperature. The same thing happens even when the days are not too sunny. All the heat absorbed from its daily encounter with direct sunlight is trapped inside the attic. Not only that, since warm air naturally rises, all the heat in the house goes up to the attic. This can result to a throttling discomfort for anyone who goes in the attic to either look for something in the storage or to bring over new belongings for keeping.
