Three reference houses had the same energy efficiency measures and
controlled mechanical ventilation, but no dehumidification separate from cooling.
The objective of this study was to identify the best performing, most energyefficient and cost - effective techniques to provide
controlled mechanical ventilation and humidity control in hot - humid climates with thermally efficient building envelopes.
In hot - humid climates, constructing thermally efficient building envelopes with
controlled mechanical ventilation provides unique challenges for controlling humidity levels2.

From 2007 - 2014, caregivers of patients who received seven or more days of
mechanical ventilation in an ICU across 10 Canadian university - affiliated hospitals were given self - administered questionnaires to assess caregiver and patient characteristics, caregiver depression symptoms, psychological wellbeing, health - related quality of life, sense of
control over life, and impact of providing care on other activities.
The duration of
mechanical ventilation, the primary outcome for the study, was not different between the 2 groups (intervention: median, 6.5 days vs
control: median, 6.5 days).

No technology or complicated
mechanical systems, just a simple envelope, high quality windows and high quality air
control through Heat Recovery
Ventilation.
The advantage with
mechanical ventilation is that unlike natural
ventilation, the air flow can be
controlled quite well with a few simple
controls.

Moisture movement by air leakage (the exfiltration of interior moisture - laden air during heating periods and the infiltration of exterior moisture - laden air during cooling periods) is
controlled by limiting air leakage openings,
controlling the interior levels of moisture during heating periods by utilizing
controlled ventilation (dilution by air change) combined with source
control (direct venting of clothes dryers as well as the use of subgrade vapor retarders under concrete floor slabs and bath and kitchen exhaust systems),
controlling the interior levels of moisture during cooling periods by utilizing the dehumidification capabilities of
mechanical cooling systems, and limiting
controlled ventilation to minimum values established by indoor air quality concerns.
