Attic Heat Recovery System

In a nutshell warmspring is basically the combination of an attic ventilation fan with a compact air to water heat exchanger.

The result is better indoor air quality and lower energy use than in standard homes. The goal was to rid the house of its stale moist air while keeping as much of that air s heat as possible. Heat recovery ventilators reclaim energy from exhausted stale indoor air to temper incoming fresh air heat is retained during cooler seasons and removed during warmer seasons. Hrv systems are designed to be ducted whole house solutions.

A heat recovery system works also called hrv or mvhr via a heat recovery ventilation unit which is usually located in the attic roof space or plant room of a building. If you put this system in unconditioned space say a vented attic the outdoor air being delivered to the house will pick up or lose heat on its way. A strong ventilation system was the answer and its secret weapon was a heat recovery ventilator aka an air to air heat exchanger. The patent pending warmspring attic heat recovery system takes a more practical approach to exploiting low grade heat from a seasonally hot attic.

These systems capture about 70 percent of the energy already expended to temper incoming air. These devices remove stale air from the home and replace it with pre heated fresh air from outside. Intake vents located at the lowest part of the roof under the eaves allow cool.
