- lm28469 10mo agoSeparation of concerns is the king of avoiding pricy maintenance and headaches. You can already do most of that with a passive heat recovery ventilation system coupled to a ground/water exchanger. All systems are independent and the most high tech equipments you need are fans and a water pump
- Retric 10mo agoIt’s a tunnel for air. Only using ductwork for heat recovery ventilation without also using it for heating and cooling means more complexity, instillation costs, and maintenance issues etc. Further moving air allows you to use dramatically less material for heat exchangers. Net result higher efficiency, fewer things that can break, fewer locations something can break, and lower risks of water damage to your home etc.
