NORA Advanced Air Flow

A standard for all spaces intended for human occupancy except those within single family houses, multifamily structures of three stories or fewer above grade, vehicle and aircraft. ANSI / ASHRAE 62.2 Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in Low Rise Residential Buildings (three stories or less) These ventilation standards are available for purchase from ASHRAE. (www.ashrae.org); phone 404-463-8400; 1791 Tullie Circle NE. Atlanta GA 30329. There are three basic ventilation types: Supply Ventilation • Uses a fan to force outside air into a home • Can operate continuously or intermittently and be ducted to single or multiple locations • A Central Fan Integrated Ventilation system differs because it uses a control and inter faces with the HVAC system central fan for whole house ventilation. 22 National Oilheat Research Alliance Exhaust Ventilation • Uses a dedicated fan or bath fan to exhaust air from the home • Replacement air is uncontrolled and ventilation is typically distributed unevenly • Pockets of poorly ventilated areas can exist Balanced Ventilation • Uses a fan to bring air into the home while simultaneously exhausting an equal amount of air from the home. • The system can operate continuously or intermittently—Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV), Figure 19 or Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV), respectively • The system can be connected with the centrally ducted system for whole house ventilation or can be independently ducted to serve one or more areas.
