INSTALLATION EXAMPLES
The way your heat/energy-recovery ventilator is installed can make a significant difference to the electrical
energy you use. To minimize the electricity use of the heat/energy-recovery ventilator, a stand-alone fully
ducted installation is recommended. If you choose a simplified installation that operates your furnace air
handler for room-to-room ventilation, an electrically efficient furnace that has an electronically commutated
(EC) variable speed blower motor will minimize your electrical energy consumption and operating cost.
Example only – duct configuration may differ depending on the model.
FULLY DEDICATED SYSTEM
BEST FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION
1. Stale air is drawn from
key areas of the home
requiring local exhaust
(bathroom, kitchen,
laundry room).
2. Fresh air is distributed
directly to habitable
rooms in the house
(bedrooms, living room)
3. The FAA’s airflow must
be balanced after
installation using the
procedure found in the
section “AIRFLOW
BALANCING”
Suggested installation for:
• Hydronic baseboard
• Inoor heating
• Electric baseboard
• Mini split heat pump
Benets: Provides the best
fresh air distribution in the
house; lowest operation cost
since the furnace/air handler
unit is not needed.
FAA ducting for fully Dedicated System
* Ductwork layout may dif-
fer depending on model
Air from inside
* Unit air flow should be balanced while FAA is on "Normal" speed and
furnace blower is running.
