- ljlolel 4y agoHow do you get fresh air?

- popotamonga 4y agoDIY ventilation with co2 monitor, some motors to control the incoming air. The amount of air needed to recycle the air is so small it doesn't make a dent on the temperature.
- 0x53 4y agoThe typical solution is to use a heat recovery ventilator (HRV) or a energy recover ventilator (ERV). They exhaust old air outside and bring fresh air in, but they also attempt to transfer the heat of the outgoing air to the incoming air.
- nunodonato 4y agoInsulation is the best way forward. High cost upfront, but low cost in the long term. Passive houses are the future, not active heaters.
