UK lags significantly behind the Danes in uptake of Solar Ventilation technology
While the UK may only just be coming to terms with the necessity of “going greener,” this isn’t necessarily the case for other parts of the world. Take Scandinavia, or Denmark, for example - these countries have been dabbling with solar power since the early 1980s. So, with this in mind, is it any wonder that these countries are already decades ahead of the UK in the development, application and usage of such green technologies?
So far there have been a reported 27,000 solar ventilation units fitted in over 24 countries and this number is now beginning to increase on a daily basis. The scope and use of this type of technology has extremely broad applications and is currently being used on practically every type of building imaginable. But where did it all begin?
Genesis of an idea
As is usually the case with all good things, solar ventilation started off as a small idea. Specifically, it was used on holiday homes and caravans in Denmark to keep the air clean and remove the affects of damp and condensation during the periods when they're not in use. From here, however, the idea has, quite simply, snowballed and now solar ventilators are used all over Scandinavia on everything from commercial buildings, to private property, to museums and childcare centers. You could say the Danes have started something of a trend. And finally, it’s beginning to catch on here in the UK too.
Application of solar ventilation technology
Both commercial, public, and private users can benefit from solar ventilation. The technology allows its users’ to save on energy consumption and create a healthier working/living/storage environment for the things that matter to them the most. But most importantly, solar ventilation technology grants everyone the opportunity to begin taking those all important initial steps away from the big corporate energy providers for a greener, better future. And yes, it may only be a small step, but it’s a step in the right direction.
How it works
http://www.solarventi.com/generelt/SunModel_UK/sol_model1.htm
-  Outside air temperature is raised significantly before being pushed into building
-  Push technology enables ventilation for entire house, which means damp, condensation, and bad smells are eradicated by the process of through-flowing air.
-  Solar ventilation also ensures that buildings have a constant supply of clean, heated, fresh air - and all without having to have a window open!
-  Performs the same function as a dehumidifier, just without the cost of running one, by removing water vapor from the air.
-  The warmed air that is pushed through will contribute to the heating of a building, which obviously means a reduction in your heating bills
All sound too good to be true?
Well, that is a fair assertion, many people are skeptical of new technology, and usually with good reason too.
However, this is the point of SolarAirTech: To document, report, and publish the most up-to-date findings, releases, and advancements within the world of solar technology so we can all live in a greener and more inexpensive world free from the tyranny of the big energy corporations.
With this in mind, think of SolarAirTech as an awareness project for a brighter, greener and better future.

- Outside air temperature is raised significantly before being pushed into building

- Push technology enables ventilation for entire house, which means damp, condensation, and bad smells are eradicated by the process of through-flowing air.

- Solar ventilation also ensures that buildings have a constant supply of clean, heated, fresh air - and all without having to have a window open!

- Performs the same function as a dehumidifier, just without the cost of running one, by removing water vapor from the air.
