ASHRAE Standard 62.2 2010 is a national standard that provides methods for achieving minimally acceptable indoor air quality (IAQ)
for typical residences. This standard is applicable to single-family houses and multi-family structures of no more than three stories.
ASHRAE 62.2 2010 provides two ventilation methods, both of which need to be used to help achieve acceptable indoor air quality:
1.Whole-House Ventilation
2.Local Exhaust
WHOLE-HOUSE VENTILATION

INTRODUCTION
Central ventilation and toilet exhaust risers are designed for the
purpose of providing mechanically controlled ventilation and
protecting against poor indoor air quality. In high-rise buildings
(buildings over four stories), exhaust ventilation risers and
subsequent fans are often dramatically affected by environmental
factors such as stack pressure. When buildings are built tightly to
conserve energy, stack pressure has a greater effect on a system’s
ability to regulate indoor air...

Today’s green-home-building revolution is creating quite a bit of confusion when it comes to the important “Indoor Environmental
Quality” component and the requirement to include a whole-house ventilation system in energy-efficient homes to ensure proper
indoor air quality. Much of the confusion stems from the fact that there are many different ventilation methods, products, and so-
called experts touting one solution over the other. There are many factors that determine which ventilation solution is...
POINTS TO CONSIDER WHEN LOCATING THE HRV/ERV UNIT
The Heat or Energy Recovery Ventilator (HRV/ERV) must be installed where temperatures will remain above freezing (32°F). The
unit must be installed where it is easily accessible for maintenance and filter changes. The unit should be relatively close to an
exterior wall to minimize the length of insulated duct to the exterior vent hoods. The outdoor duct connections must be insulated
with a complete exterior vapor jacket to prevent indoor moisture from...

In an effort to reduce energy cost and use, construction methods have changed over the past few decades. These
changes result in buildings that are tightly sealed to prevent conditioned indoor air from escaping. The unintended
consequence of a tightly sealed building is that stale indoor air cannot get out of the building and fresh outdoor air
cannot get in. This lack of air exchange can cause an unhealthy indoor environment. Studies of human exposure to
air pollutants by the Environmental Protection...

with Wireless Communication Relays
Aldes Zone Register Terminals (ZRT) are available
with wireless communication relays* that respond to
occupancy-based control systems. These solutions
are aptly suited for hotels, dormitories, and apartments.
