The exhaust hood is the primary source of noise outside the building. When practical, orient the
exhaust air hood to point away from houses or public areas.
ERVs are typically placed in a location specified by others. There are a number of situations that may
demand relocation:
• The outside air intake must be at least 10’ away from exhausts such as dryer vents, chimneys,
furnace and water heater exhausts or other sources of contamination or carbon monoxide.
• Do not locate outside air intake where vehicles may be serviced or left idling.
• Never locate the outside air inlet inside a structure.
• Do not install the unit inside a garage or parking structure.
See Section 3.0 Unit Drawings
for required service clearances.
NOTICE
This ERV must be installed in compliance with SMACNA guidelines and all applicable local
building codes.
