What can be done to insure healthy indoor air quality of a SIP structure?
Indoor air quality has become a major health concern in homes and buildings that are built to meet or exceed today’s energy efficiency mandates. A structure that is properly built with SIPs can be very airtight, so most manufacturers, including Murus, require the inclusion of a mechanical ventilation system in the HVAC plan. Typically this is achieved through the use of a Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) or an Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV). Most of the major HVAC system manufacturers now offer these units as do many smaller companies, so consult with your mechanical contractor.
