6 Passive House Airflow Airflows required for a certifying Passive House project 18 CFM Per Person 0.30 Air Changes per Hour (ACH) of TFA Kitchen exhaust: 35 CFM continuous Bathroom exhaust: 24 CFM continuous Toilet room exhaust: 12 CFM continuous Laundry room exhaust: 12 CFM continuous 1,200SF * 8.2FT = 9,840 CF at 0.30 ACH (*1.3) 49 CFM (64 CFM) 4 People * 18 CFM/P 72 CFM Kitchen + 2 Bathrooms 70 CFM* PHNW

7 IMC 2012 Airflow Referenced by the International Residential Code (IRC) Adopted by all the Northwest States 0.35 Air Changes per Hour (ACH) - But not less than 15 CFM per person Kitchen exhaust: 25 CFM continuous* Bathroom exhaust: 20 CFM continuous Toilet room exhaust: 20 CFM continuous *Some local states have adopted additional requirements 1,200SF * 8.2FT = 9,840 CF at 0.35 ACH BUT 3 Bedrooms = 4 People so Kitchen + 2 Bathrooms 57 CFM 60 CFM 65 CFM PHNW

8 Summary: Apartment for Ventilation 1,200 SF TFA 8.2 FT Ceilings 3 bedrooms 2 Bathrooms Standard Supply Exhaust PHI 72 CFM 70 CFM IMC 60 CFM 65 CFM CFM 40 CFM* CFM 40 CFM* * With Intermittent range hood or additional 5 ACH airflow out of the kitchen (+82 CFM for a 10x12 kitchen) PHNW

14 Learning Objective Two 1. Performance standards of a Certified Passive House Multifamily Project 2. Characteristics of High Performance Ventilation PHNW

15 High Performance Ventilation Provides energy-efficient, healthy and comfortable indoor climate solutions. Comfort Indoor Climate Solutions Health Energy-efficiency

16 Health: Air Humidity CO² Concentration VOC s Smells

17 Health Statistics The Number of People in the USA with Asthma grew from about 20 Million in 2001 to 25 Million in Asthma cost the USA about $3,300 per year, per person, for people with Asthma from 2002 to (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Vital Signs May 2011) The EPA estimates that as many as 8 million homes throughout the country have elevated levels of radon. Based on current exposure and risk estimates, radon exposure in single-family houses may be a causal factor in as many as 20,000 of the total lung cancer fatalities which occur each year.

18 Moisture Removal Efficient mold protection: Fresh air is provided and excess humidity is removed automatically Efficient noise barrier and protection against dust: Preheated and filtered air is provided draft-free at closed windows

19 Optimum Humidity

21 Traditional Multifamily System Exhaust Air Locations Bathrooms Kitchen Supply Air Locations Corridors?????? What s the ACH in the Bedrooms? PHNW

22 Unventilated Bedrooms Get Stale House is 5.0 ACH At 50 PA Bedroom occupied at 11:15 pm with door closed Exhaust fan turned on at 1:30 am at 88 CFM (ASHRAE 62.2 Rate for house is 62 CFM Exhaust fan off at 6:00 am Door open at 6:30 am PHNW

23 Comfort Quiet Fresh air Conditioned (no cold drafts)

24 Energy Efficiency Heat Recovery Ventilators Reduce energy penalty associated with mechanical ventilation HRV Efficiency Matters - Example: Inside air: 70F and outside air: 40F Efficiency: 60%: 58F Incoming room air temp 70%: 61F 80%: 64F 90%: 67F
