Planning the plumbing and HRV
John Tufano and his brother, Rob, will be installing our Zehnder ComfoAir 350 HRV. Today we talked about the placement of vanity sinks, toilets and washers and dryers. Note the plural “washers and dryers”. We doubled up given the pixie size of the condensation unit versus the daily mountain of laundry. Susan wondered aloud if we should have recalculated the PHPP to see if we could pierce the envelope with a traditional dryer vent, thereby gaining capacity and saving cash. But we wanted to hold the Passive House line. Moments after we said, “Hmmm, yeah, this would look good about here,” the deal was done. Decisive hole-drilling by John and Rob closed the door on doubts. Full speed ahead.
