Ventilation: A vital system for a healthy home
All homes require adequate ventilation for the safety of their occupants and to remove excess humidity,
airborne pollutants and odors. As homes across the country are built and renovated with energy conservation
in mind, they are more air-tight, and the need for balanced mechanical ventilation is even more obvious.
Without fresh air, carbon dioxide, odors, dust, airborne pollutants and excess humidity are kept indoors,
potentially causing or aggravating problems to occupants’ health and comfort, and encouraging mold
growth. Clearly, effective ventilation is a vital system in a healthy home. A balanced mechanical ventilation
system with heat or energy recovery is an ideal way to meet both building codes and the requirements
of many energy efciency programs such as LEED
®
, BuiltGreen™, R2000 and many more.

AVS: Leading the way in indoor air quality technology
For over 30 years Venmar has redened ventilation by combining innovative technology, expertise
and quality manufacturing to offer the most advanced and extensive lines of heat and energy recovery
ventilators available. Our HRVs and ERVs will meet the ventilation requirements of practically all builders,
remodelers and homeowners across North America.
Venmar AVS units can be installed with multiple air intake and air exhaust grilles so they can revitalize
every corner of a home. They can easily be integrated with the existing forced-air system or be
installed independently. Venmar AVS is a symbol of quality: all units are HVI and cUL certied. Venmar
has been a member of the Home Ventilating Institute (HVI) since 1991, assuring customers that our
products meet strict performance standards. Venmar is also a member of the Heating, Refrigeration
and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada (HRAI) who offers leadership and training programs for the
advancement of its members’ business and promotes a code of ethics for consumer protection and
safety.
Before choosing a Venmar AVS air exchanger model there are a few things homeowners and builders
must consider, such as the importance of maintaining neutral indoor air pressure and how climate plays
a crucial role in determining which type of air exchanger will provide the most benet to a home indoor
air environment.
Equalizing Indoor Air Pressure: A Crucial Balancing Act
It is important not to neglect the impact of an unbalanced ventilation system. If an air exchange unit
does not expel and intake equal amounts of air, a negative or positive air pressure imbalance occurs.
Positive air pressure
• Pushes hot and/or humid
air into walls and insulation;
condensation can lead to
mold, mildew and rot
• Heat loss
Negative air pressure
• Inltration of unconditioned
air increases risks of mold
and higher energy costs
• Potential backdraft from
combustion appliances
Equal air pressure
• Supply airow is equal
(CFM) to stale air exhaust
• Balancing is required on
all units unless specied
otherwise.
