Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum mesh size required for weatherhood screens?

The weatherhoods must have built-in screens with a 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) minimum mesh to prevent birds and rodents from entering the ductwork.

What is the minimum insulation R value required for ducts connecting to the ERV?

All ducts connecting the ERV to weatherhoods should use insulation with a minimum R value of 4 (RSI 0.75).

What is the maximum acceptable deviation between supply and exhaust airflow during balancing?

During airflow balancing, a deviation of 10% or less between the exhaust air leaving the system and the supply air entering the system is acceptable.
