Tips

culture

新风系统 took off in China around 2013–2016 because of the 雾霾 (smog) crisis — homeowners wanted fresh outside air without opening the window to PM2.5. Different from 空气净化器 (air purifier, recirculates indoor air) and 空调 (AC, controls temperature). A serious renovation in northern China typically includes all three.
