How it works--inside
and out.
The heart of the Perfect
Window is a heat transfer core that transfers heating or cooling
energy from outgoing to incoming airstreams. In the ERV, both
heat and moisture are transferred.
Where it works.
Inside your home,
a Perfect Window ventilation system can be connected with your
heating and cooling system. Or it can be a stand alone system.
Your configuration depends on your home and personal needs. For
example, you may choose to exhaust stale air from the kitchen,
utility rooms, or bathrooms (eliminating the need for noisy ventilation
fans) while directing fresh air to bedrooms and living areas.
The unit itself is installed in conditioned spaces such as basements,
utility rooms or closets.
