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
Right - Each individual unit in this multifamily building has its own energy recovery ventilator (ERV) to provide balanced ventilation to the dwelling
Image
Right - The automated ventilation system has a sensor built in switch that can detect indoor air pollution; if it senses a rise in humidity, VOCs, smoke, carbon dioxide, or small particulates, the system will turn on the nearest fan to eliminate pollution
Image
Right - This enclosed parking garage in a multistory multifamily building is equipped with mechanical exhaust to remove airborne contaminants from the garage.
Image
Right - This shared enclosed parking garage is equipped with exhaust fans to remove airborne contaminants from the garage.

Image
Right – This plug-in sensor detects indoor air quality issues in a home, including elevated levels of humidity, VOCs, smoke, carbon dioxide, or small particulates; if detected, the sensor can switch on the nearest exhaust fan to remove the pollutants.
Image
The green-lit panel next to the fan and light switches is an indoor air quality sensor that will automatically turn on the exhaust fan if it detects a rise in humidity or indoor air pollutants.
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
This HRV, installed in a conditioned attic, provides balanced ventilation to the whole home
