Car garage
A source of pollution
From unhealthy odors and gasses from cars to
stored garden chemicals, attached garages are a
source of pollution.
If your mechanical equipment is in your garage
any exposed duct work that is not sealed
properly, could introduce unhealthy pollutants
into your home. Even when your mechanical
equipment system isn't in the garage you are
probably introducing pollutants into your home
when you open the door to the home after
parking your car.
Installing and running a RVF4 through the wall
ventilation fan will ventilate the pollutants
directly outside, ensuring a safer healthier
garage and home. The fan can be operated
from a timer, CO2 sensor, motion sensor or
thermostat. Running the ventilation continuously
is recommended by LEED (Leadership in Energy
Efficient Design) and they award 1 LEED point for
having garage ventilation, (Credit 10.3).
It must run continuously or be designed to run
with an automatic timer, light switch, occupant
sensor, garage door opening/closing mechanism,
carbon monoxide sensor or equivalent. The timer
must be set to provide at least 3 air changes
when the fan is on.
All that is required is a RVF4 fan with a small
grille such as the CG4 on the inside.
