Mechanical Ventilation
Mechanical ventilation uses fans and ductwork to move air through a building in a controlled way — supplying fresh air, extracting stale or contaminated air, or both — where natural ventilation alone can't meet air quality, code or comfort requirements. Frosten designs and installs ventilation systems for offices, basements, kitchens and industrial spaces across Kenya.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a space needs mechanical ventilation?
If a room is enclosed, below grade, has high occupancy, or generates heat/odours/contaminants that natural ventilation can't clear, mechanical ventilation is generally required; we assess this against required air-change rates during design.
Can ventilation be added to an existing building?
Yes, retrofits are common; the main constraints are available ceiling void or riser space for ductwork and a route for fresh air intake and extract discharge.
