Recommended Ventilation Modifications
OPTION A
Zone 5A & 5B – Install a fully ducted Energy Recovery Ventilator (VZ-IAQ-ERV) or Heat
Recovery Ventilator (VZ-IAQ-HRV) to provide general ventilation. Duct to bathrooms and
kitchen if there is no local ventilation already in place. Ensure the system is balanced and
the airflow is regulated by using Zone Register Terminals (ZRT), Constant Airflow Regulators
(CAR), or balancing dampers.
See VentZone
® IAQ with Heat & Energy Recovery Kits in Appendix I, Tables A-3 and A-4.
OPTION B
Zone 5A & 5B – Install a fully ducted exhaust ventilation system (VZ-IAQ or IAQ-MPVS)
to provide continuous exhaust ventilation. If bathroom and kitchen fans are not already in
place, install an intermittent exhaust system (VZ, SBFK, MBFK) to meet local ventilation
requirements. Regulate airflow with Constant Airflow Regulators (CAR) or balancing dampers.

Ventilation Kits in Appendix I, Table A-2 and Ventergy® Series Continuous Duty IAQ Ventilation
Kits in Appendix 1, Table A-5.
Zone 5A & 5B – Install a fully ducted supply ventilation system (BVS, DSVS, FSVS) to provide
continuous supply ventilation. Alternately, duct the supply air from the ventilator to the return of
the AHU. This will result in higher operating costs due to the AHU needing to run continuously.

These climates are typically found close to the poles and include the majority of Canada, Northern Europe, and Northern Asia. In addition, cold climates can be found at high altitudes in any region of the world. They typically have long, dark winter seasons with short days; however, they can experience large seasonal temperature swings and very warm summers. Snow and ice accumulations are a concern in most cold climates. Thermal Criteria: 7200 < HDD65°F ≤ 9000* Climate Zone 6B, Cold/Dry – Cold climates include those known as the tundra, taiga, or alpine.
