My concern is that the house needs to be airtight and then ventilated using an HRV. I recently spoke to a company that sells tankless hot water heaters. The company representative suggested that it is necessary to have a test to determine whether an HRV is required, prior to renovating. Later, I realized he perhaps did not understand that HRVs are also used as heat exchangers. If a house has holes that allow the migration of air, it's not nearly as efficient as a house that is airtight and has an HRV utilizing exhausted hot air to warm incoming cool or cold air. I have some experience with air-to-air heat exchangers and I am familiar with the concepts. http://homesandcottages.com/AskanExpert/tabid/135/ExpertQuestionId/35/Default.aspx - 11/21/2003 12:00:00 AM
