Section 3 Page 52 If bathroom and kitchen fans are not already in place, install an intermittent exhaust system (VZ, SBFK, MBFK) to meet local ventilation requirements. Regulate airflow with Constant Airflow Regulators (CAR) or balancing dampers. Whole-House Continuous Supply Ventilation – See Ventergy ® Series Continuous Duty IAQ Ventilation Kits in Appendix I, Tables A-6, A-7, and A-8. Local Exhaust – See VZ, SBFK, and MBFK in Appendix I, Tables A-9, A-10, and A-11. • SCENARIO #2...

Duct to bathrooms and kitchen if there is no local ventilation already in place. Ensure the system is balanced and the airflow is regulated by using Zone Register Terminals (ZRT), Constant Airflow Regulators (CAR), or balancing dampers.

Section 3 Page 55 3.6 DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS: CLIMATE ZONE 6 Climate Zone 6A, Cold/Humid – Cold climates include those known as the tundra, taiga, or alpine. These climates are typically found close to the poles and include the majority of Canada, Northern Europe, and Northern Asia. In addition, cold climates can be found at high altitudes in any region of the world. They typically have long, dark winter seasons with short days; however, they can experience large seasonal temperature swings...
