Introducing the Biggest Breakthrough in Ventilation Since…

Fresh Air…

1972 – First commercialization of cross flow fixed plate energy recovery ventilator

1981 – Lawrence Berkley Labs identifies the advantages of ERV cores for residential ventilation

1983 – RenewAire begins manufacturing ERVs in Madison, Wisconsin – other manufacturers follow with similar unit layouts

1999 – RenewAire’s EV series sets the standard for performance, quality and value

2003 – The breakthrough everyone has been waiting for – dramatically lower installed cost - and only available with Breeze

“Field trials confirm Breeze units install in one-half to one third the time of traditional ERVs.”

What is Breeze?A line of residential ERVs

BR70 70 CFM ERV BR130 130 CFM ERV TW Kits Through-the-Wall duct and

hood kit

Economical and effective ventilation for condominiums, town homes and smaller homes

A New Line of Residential ERV

How is Breeze Different?Mounts to furnace (AC) return air ductworkHas only two duct connections

The other two connections are out the back directly into the RA duct

Has integrated automatic proportional runtime control

Can be mounted to exterior wall with TW Kit requiring only two indoor duct connections

Two Ways to Install ERVs

Central Exhaust – Use EV Series

General Ventilation – Use BR Series

EV Series may be used

Central Exhaust20 CFM continuous per bathroom50 CFM intermittent per bathroom

Must have control in each bathroom served (PB24)

Other possible exhaust locations Kitchen area (cannot exhaust range hood) Utility room, smoking room, hobby room, etc.

EV130 Centrally Ducted

Exhaust From Bathroom

Exhaust From Kitchen

Central Exhaust Con’t

Small ductwork system to collect air from each exhaust location

Fresh air may be supplied to furnace (AC) return air duct

EV130=2 bathrooms, EV200=3 bathrooms, EV300=5 bathrooms

Replaces bathroom exhaust fans

General Ventilation

ERV selected based on size of home and/or number of residents

ASHRAE 62-1998 – 0.35 air changes/hour BR70 = 1500 square feet living space BR130/EV130 = 2700 square feet living space EV200 = 4000 square feet living space EV300 = 6000 square feet living space

General Ventilation Con’t

ERV selected based on size of home and/or number of residents

ASHRAE 62.2-2003 7.5 CFM/occupant (# of bedrooms +1) Plus 0.01 CFM/ square foot of living space Example: 3 bedroom, 1500 sq ft home requires 4

times 7.5=30 CFM plus 1500 times 0.01=15CFM for a total of 45 CFM

General Ventilation Con’t

Bathroom exhaust fans are also requiredAir may be drawn from and supplied to the

furnace (AC) return air duct as long as short circuiting is avoided (by running furnace blower)

The majority of ERV installations are used for General Ventilation most likely due to lower cost

• Cut hole in Return Air Duct – bend flange in.• Mount hanging bracket on duct.

• Mount Hinge Bar in proper location on unit.

• Hang unit on duct.

• Wire Breeze to furnace control.

• Swing Breeze into position and screw in place.

• Locate Fresh Air Hood away from all exhausts.

• Exhaust Hood location is not critical.

• Installation is generally completed in under two hours!

• Neat and Clean!

• Breeze can be mounted on Return Air drop.

• Hole cut.

• Hang and fasten unit to drop.

• Alternate Return Air drop orientation.
