Sort results by: Date Added | Alphabetically - All green building programs require mechanical ventilation individually designed for each house.
- This article describes the design, construction and guiding philosophy of the first healthy house built by John Bower (founder of the original Healthy House Institute) in the early 1990s. Although times have changed and technology has advanced, Bower's founding principles - "eliminate, separate, ventilate" - pictured by the three green vertical bars of the current HHI logo, still apply.
- The Healthy House Institute built a model demonstration house designed to optimize occupant health by minimizing indoor air pollution.
- Rather than leaving ventilation to chance, these systems exchange stale air for fresh air in your home, while helping to maintain indoor climate control.
- Tips for building or retrofitting your home for energy efficiency, cost-savings, and indoor air quality
- Tips for selection, location, and use.
- Selecting and maintaining heat recovery ventilators and energy recovery ventilators (HRV/ERVs).
- Fans, heat or energy recovery ventilators work continuously to improve indoor air quality.
- The homeowner gains a finished, insulated
basement, a healthy house, and an estimated
energy savings of a whopping 81%.
- ASHRAE 62.2-2007 Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in Low-Rise Residential Buildings is the U.S. national minimum ventilation standard. Here is the skinny on this and other standards.
- Designing and building an energy-efficient home.
- As part of the ongoing educational partnership between The Healthy House Institute (HHI) and the Home Ventilating Institute (HVI), in November 2010, HHI and HVI produced and circulated a White Paper to selected trade and consumer media. The paper entitled, “Victory over VOCs – Energy-Saving Fans and Other Devices Help Keep Indoor Air Fresh” was sent to major trade and consumer publications.
- The majority of the balanced ventilation systems on the market are heat recovery ventilators (HRVs). Most HRVs consist of an insulated cabinet, a heat-recovery core, two fans, some ductwork, and a control. But not all HRVs are created equal.
- Several factors should be considered, such as recovery efficiency, airflow capacity, and electricity consumption.
- Likely there is room for improvement. Here is what to do.
- Ventilation products have differing capacities for moving air, so it\'s important to ensure that the unit you select has ample capacity for the application.
- An HRV saves energy while ventilating your home. Understanding the differences in materials used to transfer energy between airstreams is important.
- John Bower's presentation at the Energy Efficient Building Association, Excellence in Housing Conference, Dallas Texas, February 1994.
- Tight, energy-saving homes have prompted makers of ventilators to develop new, innovative products and systems.
- How much are human health and comfort worth?
