INSTALLATION EXAMPLES

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 HRV’s airflow must be balanced after installation using the procedure found 

in the section “AIRFLOW BALANCING”

Suggested installation for:

• Hydronic baseboard
• Infloor heating
• Electric baseboard
• Mini split heat pump

Benefits: 

Provides the best 

fresh air distribution in the 
house; lowest operation cost 
since the furnace/air handler 
unit is not needed.
