Option 1: Dedicated Ventilation Ducting
This is the most complete installation option and is ideal for new construction.
Use option 1 when a home or business is especially concerned with health
issues (e.g., when an occupant has asthma or severe allergies). Option 1 is the
only option for homes and businesses without existing forced air ductwork.
Option 1 is also used for homes employing radiant heat flooring or geothermal
heating.
The more rooms to which ductwork is run, the more effective the system will
be. Dedicated ductwork is installed for the exhaust intake and the fresh air
delivery. The kitchen, laundry room, and other areas with high contamination
should contain registers for the exhaust intakes. Areas such as the living room,
den, and bedrooms should receive the full benefit of the fresh air being
brought in, and a good installation will feature supply vents in these locations.
As a general note, fresh air is generally supplied at floor level, and stale air is
removed at ceiling level.
A simpler but somewhat less effective version of this system uses one exhaust
and one or more delivery registers located strategically to encourage
circulation throughout the house.
