Option 1:
Dedicated Ventilation Ducting
The most complete installation option and ideal for new construction. Use
option 1 when a home or business is concerned with health issues (e.g.,
when an occupant has asthma or severe allergies). Option 1 is the only
option for buildings without existing forced air ductwork. Option 1 is also
used with 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 stale air exhaust and the
fresh air delivery. The kitchen, laundry room, and other areas with high
contamination should contain registers for the exhaust. Areas such as the
living room 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.
