Enjoy and Value the Fresh Air! - H.D. Thoreau
2
What is Ventilation? “Providing for acceptable indoor air quality (IAQ) through the simultaneous exhaust of stale air and supply of fresh outdoor air.” In with the good! Out with the bad!
3
Why Ventilate?
4
Why Manage Humidity? Constant Temperature (40-100 F) Moisture Prerequisites for Microbial Growth Source of Spores + + + + + + = = IAQ Solutions - HUMIDITY CONTROL
5
ASHRAE-recommended Comfort Problems Organic Growth 01020 30 40 50 60 70 80 90100 Percent Relative Humidity, % RH HUMIDITY CONTROL
6
Why Ventilate? Protect your families health. Protect your home. Provide a comfortable home environment. Homeowners place high value on ventilation!
7
Contractors - Why Ventilate? To reduce call-back problems To make more money
8
Attributes of Good Ventilation Ample installed air flow Pressure balanced – both exhaust and fresh air blowers Quite operation Energy efficient An engineered appliance
9
Attributes of Good Ventilation
10
Sound insulation No condensate drain ARI Certified zero exhaust air recapture Fixed Plate PLUS Sensible AND latent heat transfer No defrost control or heat required Good overall energy efficiency No moving parts RenewAire’s Answer Humidity control
11
ERVs verses HRVs Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs) transfer temperature differential only Aluminum and plastic plate exchangers and heat pipes Good for high humidity and high temperature applications Positive air stream separation Not often used for general building ventilation because of low efficiency
12
Venmar Constructo 1.5 Complex hanging kit Condensate drain kit Re-circulation defrost damper shuts off OA and allows exhaust air back to the home Sensible transfer core or ERV at a substantial price adder
13
ERVs verses HRVs Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) transfer temperature and humidity differential Desiccant wheels and enthalpic plate units Best in cold climates and hot humid climates High temperature and humidity transfer efficiency Not used for indoor pools etc.
14
Air-X-Change Diameter sweep seal - leakage results in cross- contamination Blower section Polyethylene wheel with silica-gel desiccant Circumference seal - leakage results in bypass air and lowered efficiency
15
HVI Testing and certification of ERVs up to 400 CFM Unit performance Air flow -static capabilities Sensible and total efficiency Cold temperature survival

Air Flow balancing is not a problem for RenewAire! Condensation and frosting does not occur which restricts air flow in the exhaust air stream. Strong blowers mean trouble-free installations. Differences in duct pressure have little effect on airflow rates.

24 or 120 Volt Time Clock TS24/120
55
Installation Comparison RenewAire offers: uAny case orientation u uSimplifies ducting uIntegral mounting flanges uFlexible hanging bracket included uNo condensate drain uNo airflow balancing uSimple controls
56
Venmar two speed, difficult (impossible?) to balance Balance on high speed - low speed out of balance No efficiency gain from running at low speed Balanced on low speed - high speed out of balance Lower than expected efficiency More potential for freeze up
