This central ventilation system uses an energy recovery ventilator to supply air to the corridor and exhaust air from the elevator shaft of a multifamily building
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
A ventilation controller with a manual override is located on a central air handler fan that is located in an accessible location
Air flow is produced when central HVAC fan is energized (set thermostat to “fan”)
Continuously-operating ventilation & exhaust fans include readily accessible override controls
ENERGY STAR requires exhaust fans set for intermittent operation to have a sound rating of ≤ 3 sones and exhaust fans set for continual operation to have a sound rating of ≤ 1 sone.
Exhaust fan installed but in wrong direction causing excessive bend and duct is uninsulated
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
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
Intermittent supply and exhaust fans rated at ≤ 3 sones by manufacturer, unless rated flow ≥ 400 CFM
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
Rater-measured ventilation rate is within 100-120% of HVAC contractor design value (2.11)
Right - Each individual unit in this multifamily building has its own energy recovery ventilator (ERV) to provide balanced ventilation to the dwelling
Right - This manufacturer's label shows a CFM higher than the requirement, increasing the likelihood that it will meet the performance level once installed.
The blower wheel (fan) on this ductless wall-mounted indoor unit has accumulated dust and mold - a common issue for this design.
The ENERGY STAR logo on the manufacturer’s label indicates this is an ENERGY STAR qualifying exhaust fan
The gap around this kitchen exhaust duct represents a significant source of air leakage to the unconditioned attic
The manufacturer’s label found on this exhaust fan housing shows a sone rating of 1.0
The ventilation controller is next to the thermostat and has a manual override button
This bath exhaust fan ventilation control can be set by the HVAC technician for continuous operation, delayed shut off, or a set amount of minutes each hour
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
This ducted, wall-mounted range hood exhaust fan replaced a recirculating fan that did not adequately remove kitchen contaminants.
This energy recovery ventilator (ERV) provides balanced ventilation to a dwelling unit in a multifamily building
