| house will be tight enough to require a fresh air intake? not an uncommon thing. ASHRAE 62.2 ventilation requirement would give you some guidelines more info would be necessary from you other than what climate best of luck. |

| Wow, and here I thought all new houses were tight :-) We are building about 2,700 sft with a masonry heater and heat pump and live in the Pac NW. I want lots of fresh air - no stale air plz. I don't think they are requiring tightness testing, but I'm sure the house will be tight due to construction. I think I'd rather have an exchanger that can filter the air, and we can wash or replace filters rather than opening windows and having all the molds and pollens fly in. We are building in the forest, so pretty damp, shaded and a lot of pollen. Thanks, |

| hrv, erv, whole house dehumidfier with fresh air intake... 12x12" filter in a filter back grill installed on exterior, duct with barometric damper to return air. clean air, measure it, then dehumidify it before allowing it into house. don't assume that a new construction house if you want to know if the house is tight best of luck. |
