In winter, when fine dust runs rampant, ventilating stuffy indoor air is not easy—even when you want to, fine dust and the cold make it difficult to open the windows. As a result, ventilation systems that exchange outdoor and indoor air and even filter out fine dust without opening a window are drawing attention.

Kyungdong Navien has tackled both fine dust removal and ventilation at once with the ‘Navien Clean Ventilation System,’ which comprehensively manages indoor air quality. By recycling the heat that would otherwise be discarded during the ventilation process, it can also deliver energy savings of up to 66.8% in winter. The ‘Navien Clean Ventilation System’ achieves air purification and ventilation simultaneously through air passages (ducts) and diffusers embedded in the ceiling. Because of this, there is no need to install an air purifier in every room—a single system can purify the air throughout the entire interior—and it is designed to allow ventilation without opening the windows. In addition, the filter system is equipped with a UV-LED that filters out ultrafine dust and volatile organic compounds such as formaldehyde, while harmful substances such as radon, viruses, and bacteria can also be removed through ventilation. Furthermore, the ‘Navien Clean Ventilation System’ lets you check air quality in real time via an air monitor. The front-facing monitor displays an integrated air quality score that converts ▲ultrafine dust ▲radon ▲carbon dioxide ▲volatile organic compounds ▲temperature and humidity into points, which is reflected in the control of the clean ventilation system. Last year, the company drew industry attention by launching the ‘Navien Clean Ventilation System Kitchen Plus,’ which can be installed in the kitchen. The ‘Navien Clean Ventilation System Kitchen Plus’ links a 3D air hood with the clean ventilation system to manage the cooking fumes that can occur in the kitchen. Moreover, Kyungdong Navien has also released these products as part of its ‘Rental Care Service’ lineup. Since periodic maintenance such as filter replacement is required, the rental service aims to enhance the convenience of managing indoor air quality.

A Kyungdong Navien official said, “To continuously manage air quality, care such as filter maintenance is essential, but with the existing lump-sum sales model, consumers had the inconvenience of having to purchase and replace filters themselves once the service ended,” adding, “Through this service launch, our own service experts will visit homes and multi-use facilities in person, which will further enhance customer satisfaction.” 1588-1144
