In this episode, Jake goes over ventilation in buildings, specifically the use of ERVs (Energy Recovery Ventilators) to provide balanced ventilation. He discusses the importance of controlling the air quality in buildings, filtering and tempering the air, and meeting code requirements for mechanical ventilation. By using a high-quality ERV system like the FLAIR series, builders can ensure clean, filtered, and tempered air is brought into the building, providing optimal control and comfort for their clients. Balancing the ventilation system is key to providing a healthy indoor environment and meeting the needs of modern building standards.
