A central fan-integrated supply system uses a fresh air intake ducted to the home's central furnace or air handler unit to supply fresh air throughout the home
Image
An in-line exhaust fan supplements the ability to exhaust moisture-laden air and lint from a dryer
Image
Bathroom exhaust fans are timer-operated to encourage removal of moisture from the home.
Image
Continuously-operating ventilation & exhaust fans include readily accessible override controls
Image
If integrating an ERV/HRV with the heating/cooling duct system, add dedicated ducts for either the supply or return side to prevent short-circuiting of air distribution
Image
In this ventilation configuration for a multifamily building, outside air enters through a dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS), and inside air exits the space through bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans
Image
Lower-cost local ERVs are usually installed in a ceiling to supply outdoor air to and exhaust air from the room in which they are located
Image
Image
Opening the outlet on a bath fan reveals model information and provides access to the motor
Image
Image
Right - Each individual unit in this multifamily building has its own energy recovery ventilator (ERV) to provide balanced ventilation to the dwelling
Image
Right – This exhaust fan duct is made of smooth rigid metal and the duct is mastic sealed at the joints.
Image
Right – This kitchen exhaust duct is made of smooth rigid metal and the duct is mastic sealed at joints
Image
Right – This kitchen exhaust fan has a damper to prevent outside air from entering when the fan is not operating
Image
The elevator shaft in this multistory multifamily building has an exhaust fan that maintains a slight negative pressure to control odors; there is also a smoke vent that is dampered closed during normal conditions.
Image
These ERV/HRV configurations are NOT recommended because outdoor air can be sucked back into the ERV/HRV before being distributed to the living space
Image
This central ventilation system uses an energy recovery ventilator, pre-conditioning unit, and elevator shaft exhaust fan to supply air to dwelling units and corridors and to exhaust air from units and the elevator shaft in a multifamily building
Image
This energy recovery ventilator (ERV) provides balanced ventilation to a dwelling unit in a multifamily building
Image
Without an exhaust fan ducted to the exterior, particles resulting from cooking can accumulate on walls and ceilings, and will be present in the air where they can damage occupants' respiratory systems
Image
Image
Wrong - Exhaust fans should not have tight bends in duct work, especially right next to the fan as this can block airflow
Image
Image
Wrong – The position of this exhaust fan does not allow the duct to route directly outside in as straight a path as possible.
Image
Wrong – This exhaust duct extends far beyond what is needed to reach the roof; a short, straight, smooth rigid metal duct is best for exhaust ducts and exhausting to the soffit vent would be preferable.
Image
Wrong – This kitchen exhaust is a recirculating model; kitchens should use exhaust fans that duct out through the roof to remove moisture and odors from the home
