In this screen, you may configure your ventilation setpoints for the CERV. Please see the following figure for an
explanation of how the setpoints work.

:
We often recommend that you set your Ventilation Setpoint to around 900ppm, as studies have shown that levels
above 1000 can indicate that a home may have bad odors as well as negative effects on productivity, alertness,
and general comfort. In the case that the CO2 and VOC sensors do not pick up specific elements that you may be
sensitive to, you may also set a minimum ventilation level. A minimum ventilation level will devote a portion of
the CERV’s operating cycle to ventilation, whether or not the sensors indicate it is needed. The figure above gives
rough estimates for what the equivalent ventilation rate is, however, these may vary depending on the blower
flow rate.
