Filtration and Ventilation
One of the most important elements in a comfortable healthy home is having adequate fresh air. As part of the HVAC system a packaged filtration unit is installed to remove pollutants from three sources: those brought indoors by the ventilation system, those released indoors by occupant related activities, and those generated by the occupants' metabolism. The filtration unit contains a 1" polyester prefilter, a 2" thick activated carbon filter, a HEPA filter, and a two speed (300/600 cfm) blower in a sheet metal cabinet. The ductwork for the system is designed to pull stale air from all of the closets, baths, and the kitchen, filter it, and blow the cleaned air into the living room. This circulation pattern provides the cleanest air to the living areas but also results in closets not becoming stagnant. Interior doors are undercut approximately 1" to allow for air circulation when doors are closed.
The kitchen range hood and the upgraded exhaust fans in the bathrooms are used to remove air pollutants, or high levels of moisture, quickly.
