5. Installation Methods Dedicated Duct System. In this arrangement the HRV is installed with a dedicated duct system. All applicable rooms are exhausted and provided with fresh supply air as required.

6. Interior Ducting Ducting to the central forced air ductwork system, or if used, a dedicated duct system, should be made of galvanized metal whenever possible. To minimize airflow losses, runs should be kept as short as possible using 45 degree elbows instead of 90 degree.
. Stale Air Return System The stale air return system is used to extract humid, stale air from the areas of the dwelling where the worst air quality conditions might exist. These may include areas such as laundry rooms, bathrooms and kitchens. Note that C.S.A. Standard F326 requires that air be exhausted from each room with a forced air furnace.
