Advanced Mechanical Ventilation Architecture: Designing for Occupant Health

Mechanical ventilation applications and strategies for residential, multi-family, and small-commercial buildings.

Ventilation is fundamental to building durability and occupant health, safety, and well-being. Whether designing for a single-family home or a larger commercial footprint, bringing fresh air into a space is non-negotiable.

This highly interactive, 90-to-120-minute in-person session breaks down the critical mechanics of modern mechanical ventilation.Participants will explore the practical differences between Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) and Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs) and analyze how layout choices impact performance.

We will compare simple versus complex ducting, and standalone versus shared ducted systems. Through real-world examples, attendees will learn to identify good versus poor ducting practices and review flexible sizing methodologies for projects of all scales.

Designed for contractors, builders, and practitioners, this course features dedicated Q&A segments to troubleshoot real-world project challenges and discuss participant ideas.
