My home has an air circulator that’s designed to pull in fresh air every hour.
As it’s drawn in it passes through a heat exchanger so the air coming in is nearly the same temperature as the air inside the house.
This means the house stays cool/warm without much addictions energy required.
I’m sure larger buildings have similar features but it’s a really great system to have if you find yourself building a new home.
- bootlooped 5y agoI've heard of those devices before, but is there any way to bypass the heat exchanger section, like when the outside temperature is more preferable?
- VVertigo 5y agoMost people just open the windows for that use case: a whole house fan can be used for making the air exchange faster through.
