Breathing Easy: Increasing IAQ in a Modern Apartment Complex

HERO® Connects Tides Residents with Nature | Riverview, NB, Canada

The Tides

Building Codes

Each of the 74 apartment units needed its own ventilation system to satisfy the ventilation code. Specifically, section 6.2.2.1.2 of the NBC. As a result, each unit with a single bedroom would require at least 30 CFM of outdoor airflow brought into dwelling spaces.

Each 2-bedroom apartment would require at least 45 cfm of outdoor airflow spread into applicable dwelling spaces.

The Perfect Product

In order to breathe more of that Acadian Forest air indoors, Thrive Properties recruited the help of AEC Engineering’s, Eric Woodworth. To comply with ASHRAE 62, 74 HERO150H-ECs were installed in each apartment.

Each appliance exhausts warm, stale air from the main bathroom and kitchen area, while simultaneously providing tempered fresh air to the main bedroom and living room areas.
