The technology of a plate heat recovery core is that it transfers warm ambient air from one airstream to the other without mixing the air streams for maximum efficiency and comfort.
*Application ideal for cold climates.

What Should You Know?
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor air is anywhere from 2 to 10 times more hazardous than outdoor air. In fact, the EPA warns that the indoor air quality is the number one environmental health problem.
Control Your Indoor Air Quality
Following the energy crisis of the 1970s, we tended to insulate our homes and make them airtight. The result? Our homes are more economical to heat and cool because heat losses and infiltrations are reduced to a minimum. The consequence? Everything produced inside the home remains inside and accumulates. Resulting in the deterioration of indoor air quality. More and more illnesses are associated with poor indoor air quality. We have only to think of the growing number of asthma and allergy cases. The air we breath is contaminated by all types of gases, dust and bacteria. In addition, we consume oxygen and produce gases and humidity, while not renewing the oxygen consumed.
