COMMUNITY CORNER Those of you who live in the Crossroads, have you ever wondered why there is a space underneath your door? It really isn t just so you could tell what TV program your neighbor was watching when you walked by. It serves a real purpose that contributes to your good health. This space needs to be maintained in order to deliver fresh air into the apartment. Because the air convectors use recycled air in the apartments, the only way to inject fresh air, by building code, is to deliver it through the space under the doors. Air is removed from the interior by the constant exhaust fans located in the bathrooms and the kitchen. The only way to bring the fresh air in is through the hallways and, consequently, under the doors. If the space under the doors is blocked by a rug or some cute elongated doggie cushion, the air in the apartment would become stale and perhaps stagnant. The air needs to be rotated in order to maintain the buildings clean air standards. This is all known as balanced ventilation. So, a word to the wise. Do not try to block air from entering your home through the door. Ignore the slight draft or wind sound and remember that it s a welcome guest. Just remember your air in the hallways represents the inside temperature while the air in the Pointe hallways represent the outside temperatures, and be glad! Dottie Moser, Resident
