Lessons Learned
- Differentiate the characteristics of HRVs, ERV, and Smart Ventilation systems and how they help with LEED BD + C Homes V4 Smart Local Exhaust
- Understand the difference between "ventilation standards" (ASHRAE 62.2), Passive House requirements, LEED BD + C Homes V4 enhanced whole house ventilation credits and indoor air quality
- Articulate the systems that maintain healthy indoor air conditions in different climatic regions with variations in occupancy and how to ensure LEED BD + C Homes V4 pre-occupancy flush is completed.
- Gain an understanding of the value of human productivity relative to the energy cost of ventilation system operation

Can you please provide links to the Smart Ventilation Systems we can use for our residential homes?

Hey I have a question? I have a 200 square foot tiny house with closed foam insulation and because I also use it as a greenhouse in the winter time and of course because of transpiration of the plants and evaporation of the soil after a watering… on top of two adult people breathing, I am getting a lot of humidity in the winter time. I also live in the SW Virginia area so we have pretty humid summers here too. Which system would work best for this application and HRV or ERV? I know both clean the air Im just more concerned with excessive humidity. I see a lot of people in tiny houses using HRV but what do you think I should do. Also I am looking for a very small unit… any ideas there because its again only 200 sq ft?
