Good evening! I have a two-room apartment in which the windows constantly fog up. Hood cleaned, but did not help. Hoods themselves are located on one side with a toilet, bathroom and kitchen. When I put the cooker hood in the kitchen, the air flowed out of the kitchen through the bathroom. I put the fans with valves in the bathroom and toilet. Windows and loggia - plastic double-glazed windows.

Can someone tell me a solution to the problem? I think that it is possible to put an influx above the batteries in each room and additional wall ventilation on the loggia. Do you think this option will help me? How effective will it be?

PS: Thank you very much for your help!

Good afternoon. There are several possible reasons:
1. From your description, a simple problem suggests itself - the cheapest double-glazed windows on windows are installed. Look carefully at how many glasses, if two - the problem is definitely in them. If it costs three, bring the lighter to the window, and if the flame in the reflection is red-violet, then everything is fine and there is an energy-saving glass. If the reflection contains three lights of the same yellow color, then it means all the windows are ordinary, and the problem is in the windows.
2. The slopes of the outer part of the window openings are not made, as well as incorrectly made on the inside. Air of high humidity enters evaporating immediately from hot batteries and falls on double-glazed windows.
3. Corner apartment. Then the insulation of the apartment from the outside will solve the problem.
Only by eliminating these causes, establish an inflow. You are right, the battery will be effective. Cold air, mixing with warm, will provide high-quality ventilation. It should be remembered that the minimum height from the floor for installing the influx is 1.5 meters. A cheaper way: to install window fittings with micro-ventilation. The shutter will open by 5-7 mm providing the necessary flow without cooling the room.
