Eric and Jake discuss the innovative and durable mechanical decisions made during the Quarry Heights project. They talk about the placement of heat pumps underneath the entryway and living room space, protective coverings for the pumps, insulation choices, and the installation of intake and exhaust points for the Zender ERV system. They also highlight the thought put into the duct layout to ensure minimal impact on the finish heating. The attention to detail and planning for durability and functionality in this project is evident throughout the discussion.
