HVISort results by: Date Added | Alphabetically - Moisture problems in a house may develop when moisture-laden air passes through the random holes, into or out of the structure.
- Cost-effective fan and ventilation systems help energy-efficient homes stay healthy.
- There are four basic strategies for improving air quality.
- As more people grasp that poor indoor air quality might be the cause of their illnesses, they are cleaning up their indoor environment and improving their ventilation.
- Clearly, if the sources of pollutants are minimized, the air will be easier to keep fresh, clean and healthy.
- Several factors should be considered, such as recovery efficiency, airflow capacity, and electricity consumption.
- Why and how HHI supports HVI.
- The Home Ventilating Institute (HVI) offers guidelines on how to select the right ventilation system for your home, how much air it should move and why, types of ventilation systems, and where to get more information on ventilation standards.
- These terms are used somewhat interchangeably, which is confusing. HVI shows how to tell them apart.
- Heat recovery ventilators (HRV) and energy recovery ventilators (ERV) are air exchange systems that help to enhance indoor air quality and minimize heating costs.
- The homeowner gains a finished, insulated
basement, a healthy house, and an estimated
energy savings of a whopping 81%.
- Ventilate your bathroom to prevent moisture buildup and related problems.
- 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.
- Likely there is room for improvement. Here is what to do.
- Spring is in the air, and so are dust, pollen and other unwanted particles that can impact health and the dusting you need to do. What is the best way to Spring Clean Your Indoor Air?
- This nonprofit organization is the leading name in performance certification of residential ventilation products, providing the link between ventilation and healthy, energy-efficient homes.
- Tight, energy-saving homes have prompted makers of ventilators to develop new, innovative products and systems.
- 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.
- Tips for building or retrofitting your home for energy efficiency, cost-savings, and indoor air quality
- All green building programs require mechanical ventilation individually designed for each house.
