- 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.
- Reducing heat buildup which can reach 150°F on hot summer days, and moisture in the winter, are the two main goals of attic ventilation.
- Ventilate your bathroom to prevent moisture buildup and related problems.
- Tips for building or retrofitting your home for energy efficiency, cost-savings, and indoor air quality
- It\'s easy for homeowners to become confused with all of the information, and misinformation, out there about residential mechanical ventilation. Here are five common myths, and facts that help dispel them.
- Fans, heat or energy recovery ventilators work continuously to improve indoor air quality.
- The “V” in HVAC—the ventilation system—is vital in that it helps get rid of that bad smell in the kitchen or the humidity in a bathroom, and, most importantly, helps maintain overall 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.
- In a Consumer Reports October 2008 article, it was reported that ENERGY STAR programs, managed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) have “lost some luster”.
- 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.
- A ventilation system is important because it helps to keep the air inside a home clean by pushing the pollutants out. But how much ventilation is enough?
- Clearly, if the sources of pollutants are minimized, the air will be easier to keep fresh, clean and healthy.
- Tight, energy-saving homes have prompted makers of ventilators to develop new, innovative products and systems.
- Create a plan for ventilation whether building, remodeling or leaving things as they are.
- The Home Ventilating Institute, HHI\'s education partner, answers a home ventilation question.
