I live in a small apartment in a brick building (three small rooms and one bathroom, totaling 50 square meters). The climate here is quite humid. Summers can be very hot, while winters are mild, usually between 0°C and +5°C, rarely dropping below -5°C. We recently installed plastic windows, but since there is no ventilation anywhere in the apartment, we’ve started having problems with mold. The windows and walls are constantly wet, and the interior wall coating is of very poor quality.
I have a dehumidifier, but even with it, the humidity remains around 65-70%. I suspect the thermal insulation is poorly done, but since the affected wall is an exterior facade of the building, I can’t fix it from the outside. There is currently no heating, but I plan to use an air conditioner for warmth. There are no ventilation specialists available, so I’ve been considering installing a heat recovery ventilator (HRV). Is this the correct thing to do?
