Balanced Ventilation Systems

Improved indoor air quality. Balanced ventilation
systems supply fresh air to the living and sleeping
areas of homes while exhausting stale air at an equal
rate from the bathrooms. This proactive approach to
ventilation can result in improved indoor air quality.


Improved comfort. ENERGY STAR labeled homes with
tight construction and balanced ventilation systems
can have fewer drafts and a constant supply of
outdoor air resulting in improved comfort.


Improved health. Stale air can cause health
problems. It can be responsible for symptoms such
as headaches, drowsiness, and respiratory problems.
These symptoms are more common in homes with
poor ventilation and moisture control. Continuously
providing fresh air can result in the improved health
and well being of the occupants.
