I constantly have my ceiling fan upstairs going. There's a powerful exhaust fan going in the basement when it detects moisture, and it pumps straight outside. Then I'll periodically turn on my kitchen hood fan and it exhausts directly outside. Then I crack the bedroom windows on a nice day. Never had any mold problems and my house has never felt musty or damp. I've been sick from black mold before at previous places I've lived, and I'm making sure it never happens again. Full house ventilation is very important in damp climates.

At a PHIUS conference several years ago, there was a study in 4 places across the country. They put hygrometers in the walls and monitored them over a year. The walls ended up at about 19%RH. They didn't dry out as previously thought over the summer. At 21%RH you get mold starting. BIBS, dense packed fiberglass, is a higher R-value, can't settle, is largely made from recycled glass and is a tested system on every job. And cellulose is supposedly recycled, mostly from newsprint. Where are the newspapers coming from?? Having a blower door and an IR camera, I have found cellulose filled walls settled in as little as 3 months.

I've been in insulation since 1966. It's organic, retains moisture. Because of that while not promoting the growth of mold and fungus, moisture can leach into the sheetrock and form mold and mildew.. Might be good in open attics where it can breath and stay dry, but not exterior wall where it is exposed to condensation. So the claims are only good for the material only.

A ductless HRV or ERV is better than nothing but will never do anywhere near as good a job as a ducted system. The entire success of a whole house ventilation system is predicated on having the supply and exhaust locations in different parts of the house so the fresh air can move across the house from living spaces (living room, dining room, bedrooms, etc.) to exhaust points where you’d normally want an exhaust fan anyway (bathrooms, laundry room, conditioned mechanical space, etc.). If your supply and exhaust location are the same hole in the wall, you’re just short circuiting the whole system. For a single small room a ductless ERV or HRV would provide a lot of benefit, but the bigger the space, the less benefit would be realized the further you get from the unit. It wouldn’t work at all for multiple rooms; you’d have to put a separate unit in each room of your house or apartment. So to even compare these ductless units to a ducted whole house ventilation system is disingenuous and misleading. The marketing for these units is very inaccurate and misleading as they make claims that defy the basic laws of physics. Please don’t perpetuate this misinformation in your videos. If something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

Can you convert from a gas heating central system to an electric heating system if you already have an electric central cooling system?How do you do this?
@traepalmerАй бұрын
If you have a central forced air air conditioner and gas furnace, it's pretty easy. They'll just swap the outdoor unit for a heat pump. Depending on your climate, if it gets cold enough to warrant AUX heat, you can either choose to keep your furnace and have it locked out except for very cold days where the heat pump can't keep up or 86 your furnace, cap the gas line, and have resistive strips installed into the air handler. If you don't require AUX heat, you can still do the latter but also don't need to worry about the resistive coils for your air handler. Your existing circuit for your current AC compressor will most likely handle the new outdoor unit. The only time a new circuit would probably be necessary would be if you needed AUX heat and decided to implement it with resistive coils in your air handler. Those draw a massive amount of power, so they usually require a separate circuit.

The depth of the framing studs in my old farmhouse attic bathroom is 8”. I’ve got mice to deal with. Rocwool is 6” deep. What do I do about the extra 2” depth? This will go against a slanted exterior wall with slate roof. Do I need a vapor barrier as well? Help! I’m not a carpenter but can’t find one in pretty Vermont. They’re all too busy building new second homes. 😔
@RenKnight3472 ай бұрын
You can go with not just a vapor barrier but against rodents, you're going to definitely need to unroll wire metal mesh. Not the stuff made from fiberglass. The type that the rodents cannot get past when it is stapled to the wooden stud framing. The one other good thing about using Rockwool products is that the rodents have no desire to make nests in the stuff like they love to do with fiberglass. Your garden, variety home improvement franchises should carry the mesh needed. I've even seen it on Amazon. By taking away what the rodents are seeking (a place for nesting) by using Rockwool and making it incredibly difficult for them to get beyond your first line of defense against them (by using a wire metal mesh), thus cutting them completely off from any shelter or food sources and you'll be well enough on your way against such pests. Good hunting!

One thing you didn't cover was the importance of the inner leaf temperature in 'apparent comfort' and the avoidance of condensation and condensation damage. A 3G window will keep the inner leaf above 14C down to about -10C outside, which means it's always above the condensation temp for normal house humidities, so you never get water dripping down the glass (or frames if the frames are good too - they are usually the worst bit on 3G). and having warm surfaces is a big part of feeling warm in the room because people are sensitive to radiant heat transmission. This is one of the reasons passivehouses almost always end up being 3G in most climates. (We replaced 2G with 3G here 4 years ago and they are _really_ nice! The silence is perhaps the best bit but the radiant heat comfort is very nice too.)
