I'm in the process of updating my home including whole house sealing. Part of it is an air exchange system that brings in outside air and matches that air to the interior temp and humidity before circulating.
- elil17 4y agoI'm not sure if you're talking about an energy recovery ventilator, but if you're not, you should use one for that. It uses selectively permeable membranes to transfer HVAC exhaust heat and humidity to incoming air. They can recover like 85 to 95% of the energy difference between the air streams. They're pretty cheap now too - totally worth it.
