Description: Tight homes require mechanical ventilation and the ideal way to accomplish that from both an energy efficiency and indoor air quality standpoint is balanced ventilation. Without guidance, however, balanced ventilation can be as ineffective as a fish without water. This session details a design manual for residential balanced ventilation from developing a ventilation plan, distribution, integration with forced air systems, and duct installation to system testing and balancing, commissioning, maintenance, and consumer appreciation. A commitment to including balanced ventilation in a residential project requires more than just buying a box of fans. Balanced ventilation is more expensive, more complicated, and more effective, but it must be treated with the same care that is applied to a conditioned air system. The point of this session is to a practical alternative to system sizing and installation that takes advantage of the brilliant qualities of balanced ventilation in tight houses.
