Image
To measure air flow, a hole was made in this flex duct; a more accurate measurement could be taken if the duct material were rigid metal, not flex duct
Image
Image
Ventilation air comes directly from outdoors, not from adjacent dwelling units, garages, crawlspaces, or attics
Image
Image
Image
Ventilation air inlets ≥ 2 ft. above grade or roof deck in Climate Zones 1-3 or ≥ 4 ft. above grade or roof deck in Climate Zones 4-8 and not obstructed
Image
Ventilation air inlets located ≥10 ft. of stretched-string distance from known contamination sources such as stack, vent, exhaust hood, or vehicle exhaust
Image
Ventilation air inlets provided with rodent / insect screen with ≤ 0.5 inch mesh
Image
Image
Ventilation in this dwelling unit is provided by an Energy Recovery Ventilator; local kitchen exhaust is provided by a range hood with a dedicated makeup air intake; conditioned air is provided by an air handler

Ventilation in this unit is provided by an Energy Recovery Ventilator; local kitchen exhaust is provided by a range hood with a dedicated makeup air intake; conditioned air is provided by an air handler and dehumidification is provided separately

Image
Ventilation inlet is not near any exhaust outlets/contamination sources and is at least 2 ft. above the roof deck
Image
Ventilation inlet is too close to exhaust outlets and does not extend at least 2 ft. above the roof deck

Image
Whole-house fans draw outside air through windows into the home and exhaust it into a vented attic
Image
Whole-house fans or wind-driven cross ventilation can be used to draw air across thermal mass for a night flush strategy
Image
Image
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
Wrong - An open eave with no soffit covering can trap rising hot air and embers from a wildfire.
Image
Image
Wrong - Cold spots along the top plate combined with lack of ventilation have encouraged mold growth along this bathroom ceiling.
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
Wrong - Exhaust pipe is not vertical; poorly installed roofing; roofing odd placement for gable vent.
Image
Wrong - If the soffit is applied directly to the rafter eave, it forms a sloping soffit, which creates a pocket that can trap hot air and embers from a wildfire.
Image
Wrong - Lack of insulation in the wall above this window combined with poor bathroom ventilation has contributed to mold growth.
Image
Image
Image
Wrong - Vent hole has no cover or screening and is poorly sealed and flashed to siding.
Image
Wrong - Vent hole has no cover or screening and is poorly sealed and flashed to siding.
Image
Wrong – A tear in the outer jacket of this duct shows where an in-line airflow measurement was made; the inner duct was not sealed and created a duct leak.
Image
Wrong – Airborne embers can float into holes in damaged vent screens and ignite flammable items in the house or accumulated debris in the vent.
Image
Wrong – It is difficult to test the air flow in this fresh air intake duct due to poor access and inadequate length of straight duct to get an accurate in-line flow measurement.
Image
Wrong – the exhaust terminal for a clothes dryer should not be covered with a screen which could trap lint; instead, cover it with a hooded, louvered damper
Image
Wrong – The open overhang with exposed timbers and unscreened vent holes make this roof more susceptible to ignition.
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
Image
Wrong: Single sided ventilation without at least two windows, wing walls, and predictable wind directions is ineffective for generating wind-driven crossflow.
