The comfort zone for relative humidity is 30 to 40%. Lower levels may be necessary in winter to reduce condensation on windows. Dehumidifiers can reduce humidity to a comfortable level. Provide CO detectors in or near bedrooms and in rooms adjacent to an attached garage.
Environmental Responsibility
Energy Efficiency
Heat recovery ventilators (HRVs) and energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) can substantially reduce heat loss in tightly constructed houses. Use high-efficiency heating appliances. Specify high-efficiency motor fan sets for continuously operating equipment.
To operate efficiently, space-heating, space-cooling and water-heating equipment should be the proper size for the heating and cooling requirements and for hot water demand.
Seek ways to use renewable energy sources such as geothermal and solar energy, and use non-renewable sources such as natural gas, oil and propane less frequently.
Affordability
Energy efficient mechcanical systems reduce operating costs
