Install a good ventilation system

After building a well-insulated, airtight building envelope and choosing interior materials and appliances which contribute to a clean, healthy indoor environment, we must install a proper ventilation system. The ventilation system will address any potential interior pollution off-gassed from materials and all pollutants generated from occupant lifestyles.

The heat recovery ventilation system installed in all R-2000 Homes exhausts stale polluted air from the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry areas and brings in an equal amount of fresh exterior air into the house.

Incoming fresh air is preheated by the outgoing exhaust air for energy savings. The fresh air is filtered, heated to room temperature, and mixed in with household air and distributed to all rooms in the house. Any concentrations of interior air pollutants such as moisture, carbon dioxide, or formaldehyde are kept to low levels.

In order to maximize the available benefits of a heat recovery ventilation system, it should be installed with the best controls available, which allow you to operate the system to match your family's lifestyle.
