The
How and Why of Your High Performance HVAC System
December 2003, Building Science Corporation. Perhaps the most frequently
raised concern from home owners of high performance homes is: How can I be
saving energy, money, and wear and tear on my equipment if it seems as
though my system is running a lot more than systems in other homes?
Ventilation Questions Posed by
Home
Energy Magazine
2000, Armin Rudd. "The most important consideration in making
the decision for or against mechanical ventilation is, therefore,
"How lucky do you feel?" You will feel a whole lot luckier
after you read this Q&A with Armin on residential ventilation issues.
Forum Brings Fresh Air to Ventilation Issues
Tight homes need fresh air, but which homes need mechanical
ventilation systems, and which system should you choose? Ventilation forum
with Neil Moyer, Armin Rudd, Max Sherman, Don Stevens tries to answer some
of the questions.
Measured Air Change Rates
and Distribution of Ventilation Air In A Single Family Home
December, 1998, Armin F. Rudd. This technical paper demonstrates,
with results from single-home testing, the superior air distribution
delivered by a intermittently operated central fan integrated supply
ventilation system in comparison to continuously operated separate supply
ventilation system.
Measurement of
Ventilation and Inter-zonal Distribution In Single Family Homes
June, 1999, Armin F. Rudd, Joseph W. Lstiburek. Technical
article for ASHRAE demonstrating that successful ventilation strategies
ALL involve central fan re-circulation.
Design/Sizing
Methodology and Economic Evaluation of Central-Fan-Integrated Supply
Ventilation Systems
ACEEE Summer Study in Buildings, August, 1998, Armin
Rudd, Joseph Lstiburek. Testing of Central-fan-integrated supply
ventilation systems yields a five step guide for sizing and installing
the system and computer modeling reveals the cost-effectiveness of this
system in comparison to a separate supply ventilation system as well as
the marginal costs of operation compared to no mechanical ventilation.
Air Distribution Fan And
Outside Air Damper Recycling Control
Based on article published in Heating Air Conditioning
and Refrigeration News, 5 July, 1999, page 45, Armin F. Rudd. This is a
concise write-up on the what, why and how of this central-fan integrated
residential ventilation approach. It describes the inherent
cost-effectiveness and energy/resource efficiency of the system,
especially well suited to the needs of production builders and
manufactured homes. Go to the Installation page for diagrams of some
typical applications.
