Fresh Air Ventilation Systems
 |
The United States
Environmental Protection Agency has listed indoor air quality as one of
five top environmental issues. If your home is tightly sealed for energy
efficiency, you could be sharing space with unsavory guests: fumes
from cooking, hobbies and household chemicals, gases from carpet, furniture
and building materials, dust and dander, smoke, plant spores and pollen, and
more. |
|
Plus, your home’s carbon dioxide level could
be two to six times higher than the outside air, making you feel sluggish.
Uncomfortable. Sleepy.
You Wouldn’t Drink Used Water.
Why Breathe Used Air?
|
How fresh
is your indoor air?
Out with the old. In with the fresh.
For health and comfort, your
home should have one complete fresh air exchange every three hours.
In drafty old homes this occurs naturally, as stale air seeps out and fresh
outside air is drawn in. But if your home is tightly weatherized, it can
take as long as 10 hours for one air exchange! No wonder building codes are
starting to require fresh air ventilators. You drink fresh water, why not
breathe fresh air?
A wise choice for new homes. A welcome addition to existing homes.
A Perfect Window fresh air
ventilation system can help control the drying out process in a new home,
while diluting and expelling noxious gases and fumes from new carpeting,
adhesives and stains. The Perfect Window can be a wise choice for existing
homes, too. Particularly if the home is tightly sealed. Your contractor will
work with you to incorporate a heat recovery ventilator or energy recovery
ventilator into your new or existing structure. |
Opening a window is one way to get fresh air. Installing a Perfect
Window is a better way.
You can get
plenty of fresh air without letting money pour out open windows. All
you need is a Honeywell Perfect Window fresh air ventilation system.
Unlike an open window, a Perfect Window retains most of the energy used
to heat or cool your home - saving you money on utility bills. Plus, having
the windows closed keeps your family more secure.
The Perfect Window Heat Recovery Ventilator
(HRV) and Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV). Two fresh ideas from Honeywell.
Choose from two types of
ventilation systems depending upon the climate and your individual home
needs. Both systems use patented technologies that retain energy used to
heat or cool your home. Both allow you to manually or automatically adjust
your fresh air flow (talk with your contractor for dehumidistat or fan timer
control options). And both provide whisper-quiet ventilation with minimal
maintenance. |
There are several HRV and ERV models - most weigh around 70 pounds and
measure approximately 31 x 19 x 14 inches.
HRV
- Provides continuous fresh air.
- Helps reduce window condensation and excess moisture.
- Uses about the same amount of energy as a 100-watt light bulb.
- Five speeds for specific demands including frost control.

|
ERV
- ERV
- All features of HRV model, plus:
- Provides continuous fresh air.
- Transfers both heat and moisture between incoming and outgoing air
streams.
- Helps reduce amount of humidity brought into home in summer; helps
retain humidity in winter.

How it works - inside and out.
The heart of the Perfect Window is a heat transfer core that transfers
heating or cooling energy from outgoing to incoming airstreams. In the ERV,
both heat and moisture are transferred.
Where it works
Inside your home, a Perfect
Window ventilation system can be connected with your heating and cooling
system. Or it can be a stand alone system. Your configuration depends on
your home and personal needs. For example, you may choose to exhaust stale
air from the kitchen, utility rooms, or bathrooms (eliminating the need for
noisy ventilation fans) while directing fresh air to bedrooms and living
areas. The unit itself is installed in conditioned spaces such as basements,
utility rooms or closets.

Illustration shows heat
transfer in ERV from outgoing to incoming air in winter. Energy transfers
between incoming fresh air and outgoing stale air as the two air streams
pass by opposite sides of multiple layers of a special membrane.
Precision controls. Fresher air.
Honeywell’s Perfect Window fresh air ventilators have simple controls and
are a snap to maintain.
You’ll have fresher air - automatically and economically - all year long.
