The effectiveness of low-cost continuous ventilation systems / prepared for the Research Division, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation; prepared by CANETA Research Inc.: NH17-324/1990E-PDF
"CSA standard F326(1) describes requirements for mechanical ventilation systems that will in general provide adequate indoor air quality control in single family residences. When builders undertake to meet these requirements they typically choose to install heat recovery ventilators (HRV’s), a very good but high first-cost approach. As a result, there is a common perception that meeting the requirements of F326 is expensive. This study was initiated to investigate some lower cost alternatives to providing adequate indoor air quality control. The need includes houses with and without forced-air distribution systems and with and without natural draft combustion appliances. Applicability to the lower cost housing market was of particular importance"--Introduction.
