Introducing the Biggest Breakthrough in Ventilation Since…

1. Introducing the Biggest Breakthrough in Ventilation Since… Fresh Air…

2. 1972 – First commercialization of cross flow fixed plate energy recovery ventilator • 1981 – Lawrence Berkley Labs identifies the advantages of ERV cores for residential ventilation • 1983 – RenewAire begins manufacturing ERVs in Madison, Wisconsin – other manufacturers follow with similar unit layouts

3. 1999 – RenewAire’s EV series sets the standard for performance, quality and value • 2003 – The breakthrough everyone has been waiting for – dramatically lower installed cost - and only available with Breeze

4. “Field trials confirm Breeze units install in one-half to one third the time of traditional ERVs.”

5. What is Breeze? • A line of residential ERVs • BR70 70 CFM ERV • BR130 130 CFM ERV • TW Kits Through-the-Wall duct and hood kit • Economical and effective ventilation for condominiums, town homes and smaller homes

6. A New Line of Residential ERV

7. How is Breeze Different? • Mounts to furnace (AC) return air ductwork • Has only two duct connections • The other two connections are out the back directly into the RA duct • Has integrated automatic proportional runtime control • Can be mounted to exterior wall with TW Kit requiring only two indoor duct connections

9. Two Ways to Install ERVs • Central Exhaust – Use EV Series • General Ventilation – Use BR Series • EV Series may be used

10. Central Exhaust • 20 CFM continuous per bathroom • 50 CFM intermittent per bathroom • Must have control in each bathroom served (PB24) • Other possible exhaust locations • Kitchen area (cannot exhaust range hood) • Utility room, smoking room, hobby room, etc.

11. EV130 Centrally Ducted

12. Exhaust From Bathroom

13. Exhaust From Kitchen

14. Central Exhaust Con’t • Small ductwork system to collect air from each exhaust location • Fresh air may be supplied to furnace (AC) return air duct • EV130=2 bathrooms, EV200=3 bathrooms, EV300=5 bathrooms • Replaces bathroom exhaust fans

15. General Ventilation • ERV selected based on size of home and/or number of residents • ASHRAE 62-1998 – 0.35 air changes/hour • BR70 = 1500 square feet living space • BR130/EV130 = 2700 square feet living space • EV200 = 4000 square feet living space • EV300 = 6000 square feet living space

16. General Ventilation Con’t • ERV selected based on size of home and/or number of residents • ASHRAE 62.2-2003 • 7.5 CFM/occupant (# of bedrooms +1) Plus • 0.01 CFM/ square foot of living space • Example: 3 bedroom, 1500 sq ft home requires 4 times 7.5=30 CFM plus 1500 times 0.01=15CFM for a total of 45 CFM

17. General Ventilation Con’t • Bathroom exhaust fans are also required • Air may be drawn from and supplied to the furnace (AC) return air duct as long as short circuiting is avoided (by running furnace blower) • The majority of ERV installations are used for General Ventilation most likely due to lower cost

18. • Cut hole in Return Air Duct – bend flange in.• Mount hanging bracket on duct.

19. • Mount Hinge Bar in proper location on unit.

20. • Hang unit on duct. • Wire Breeze to furnace control.

21. • Swing Breeze into position and screw in place.

22. • Locate Fresh Air Hood away from all exhausts.

23. • Exhaust Hood location is not critical.

24. • Installation is generally completed in under two hours!

25. • Neat and Clean!

26. • Breeze can be mounted on Return Air drop.

27. • Hole cut.

28. • Hang and fasten unit to drop.

29. • Alternate Return Air drop orientation.

30. Easy Installation • Mounted to furnace or AC return air ductwork • Under duct lengthwise • Under duct crosswise • Side of duct • On return drop (with some cautions) • Mounted to exterior wall with thru-the-wall kit • Mounted to ceiling to conceal two ducts
