Whether it’s a single-family house or a multifamily high-rise or a commercial space, fresh air is a basic human need, but supplying it in sufficient amounts without investing an enormous amount of energy in reconditioning the fresh air is only possible through heat recovery ventilation.

What does that mean in practice for various space configurations and building types? What are the key considerations early on in the design, and where should attention be focused as the equipment installed on site and integrated in the building?

Come enjoy a Zehnder presentation and lively discussion while enjoying panoramic views of the Jersey City and New York City skylines at the Journal Squared Skylounge at 6:30 PM on April 25th.
