However, connecting traditional flexible ductwork inside the recessed cavity during installation can still present a challenge. Combining the structural advantages of InOvate wall enclosures with the magnetic precision of MagVent’s MV Series solves this issue completely, delivering a seamless and hassle-free connection every time.

Whether you are designing a new construction build, managing an HVAC retrofit, or looking to maximize laundry room floor space without sacrificing exhaust velocity, combining InOvate’s structural recessing enclosures with MagVent’s magnetic coupling units provides a reliable solution for tight space issues and installation challenges in residential venting.

When designing high performance HVAC systems for upscale residential and modern commercial spaces, standard stamped metal grilles often fail to meet both airflow efficiency requirements and architectural standards. Linear bar grilles offer a crisp, continuous line aesthetic without sacrificing static pressure management or free area ratio.

Architectural Grille offers two stand out linear bar grille models: the AG10 and the AG20. Both series share durable aluminum construction and a variety of premium factory finishes, but their internal deflection dynamics serve distinctly different air distribution functions.

Designing residential ventilation networks requires precision engineering to handle structural airflow demands, maintain building envelope pressure balance, and meet building code standards.

Modern high-efficiency homes feature tight thermal envelopes that risk severe depressurization when high-capacity range hoods operate. IRC M1503.4 and NBC 2020 9.32.3.8 mandate make-up air systems for exhaust hood capacities exceeding 400 CFM. Depressurization as low as 0.02 in. w.g. can pull combustion gases backward through flues and water heater chimneys, causing back-drafting hazards.

HL Range Hood Liners

Range Hood Liner Product Page | Range Hood Liner Specs

A high-performance kitchen exhaust system requires more than just capturing smoke and grease at the range hood. Integrating Fantech’s kitchen exhaust systems creates a fully balanced ventilation ecosystem. Together, these components protect the home against dangerous back-drafting, safeguard indoor air quality with MERV 11 supply filtration, and deliver an energy-efficient kitchen ventilation system.

Modern residential construction produces tightly sealed building envelopes designed to minimize thermal loss. While excellent for heating and cooling efficiency, airtight construction restricts natural air exchange, allowing indoor pollutants, humidity, and VOCs to accumulate.

To balance structural efficiency with indoor air quality (IAQ), Broan-NuTone engineered the AI Series HRVs and ERVs. These mechanical ventilation platforms integrate advanced airflow algorithms, smart motors, and variable recovery cores to optimize fresh air delivery.

The core innovation across Broan’s AI Series and BLP150 units is Virtuo Air Technology™. Balancing a balanced-ventilation system traditionally requires flow collars, differential pressure gauges, and physical damper adjustments. Virtuo replaces manual balancing with dynamic automated regulation.

• Auto-Balancing & Rapid Commissioning: Upon startup, Virtuo runs an automated diagnostic sequence. It measures intake and exhaust airflows, analyzes maximum achievable CFM against system static pressure, and balances the supply and exhaust streams. This eliminates manually throttling dampers and cuts commissioning time by up to 20 minutes per unit.

• Integrated LCD Interface: Located directly on the unit chassis, the built-in LCD screen displays real-time CFM, power consumption (Watts), system statuses, and diagnostic fault codes without requiring external meters.

The Broan AI Series features a unified platform designed for wall or suspended chain installations, serving airflow demands from 35 up to 231 CFM. Offered in both Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) and Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) configurations, the series accommodates diverse climate zones. Available in Top Port or Side Port configurations (standard 5″, or 6″ round collars depending on total CFM output) to streamline mechanical room duct layouts.

Elevating Your Fresh Air System with the CFB

Adding an external high-efficiency filter box into a fresh air supply duct normally presents a challenge for mechanical contractors:extra duct resistance alters system static pressure, requiring manual re-balancing of supply and exhaust airflows. However, pairing our CFB Series filter boxes with Broan’s AI Series eliminates this issue completely due to the Virtuo Air Technology™. This will continuously measure static pressure changes and Virtuo will automatically adjust the PMSM output to maintain a perfectly balanced fresh air system while providing high-efficiency filtration.

---

Whether specifying for high-CFM single-family residential layouts or space-constrained ceiling cavities, Broan’s fresh air equipment removes the headache of mechanical balancing. Virtuo Air Technology continuously adapts to changing static pressure to maintain designed ventilation rates, keeping building envelopes balanced and compliant with modern ASHRAE 62.2 and Title 24 indoor air quality requirements.

Modern HVAC design is all about matching the right equipment to the specific demands of a space. Rather than relying on traditional sheet metal for every application, forward-thinking contractors and engineers rely on innovative polymer and specialized air distribution solutions.

Both American Louver Company and HaVACo Technologies lead the industry in high-performance ceiling diffusers and duct grilles, delivering rust-proof durability, lightweight handling, and superior condensation control.

3-Cone Supply Diffusers

Cone diffusers deliver a classic 360-degree radial air pattern, making them an essential choice for standard open-ceiling grid layouts.

Humidity Happens, Mold Doesn’t Have To

Wildfires are a growing threat, and one of the most common ways homes ignite is not from the main fire front, but from wind-blown embers. These tiny, fiery particles can travel for miles, finding their way into vulnerable areas of a home, especially through open vents in attics and foundations. BrandGuard Vents was founded by a firefighter who saw this problem firsthand and developed a solution to protect homes in wildfire-prone areas.

The BrandGuard Triple Protection System

BrandGuard Vents are not your standard ventilation product. They are engineered with a patented “triple protection” system designed to be a home’s first line of defense against embers and flames.

1. Resistant by design – The Overlapping Baffle Design and 1/16 inch mesh: Air moves through the vent without resistance. Embers do not. The baffle geometry forces airborne particles to turn corners they cannot survive, then catches the rest at the mesh. Tested against the worst storms the West can produce.
2. Self closing technology – Intumescent Strips: BrandGuard’s proprietary intumescent material is designed to expand in response to extreme heat and flames. When the temperature rises to dangerous levels, these strips expand to seal the vent openings, effectively blocking embers and preventing flames from entering your home. This flame and heat feature provides an added layer of protection, ensuring your vents respond proactively to wildfire conditions.
3. Non combustible build – 26 gauge grade 90 steel: Non-combustible – the vents will not ignite, warp or buckle even when exposed to direct fire. Available in galvanized and stainless steel and copper. Paint matched so the vents blend into your home aesthetic.

BrandGuard’s Intumescent Material

Being part of the Tenmat Passive Fire Protection Group, BrandGuard manufactures their own intumescent material in-house, making their fire and ember defense system unique to their products. Their custom intumescent formula features:

• Intercalated Graphite: the active element that expands when exposed to heat, providing effective sealing against ember entry.
• Rock Mineral Fibers: These fibers act as a scaffolding or matrix to support the intumescent material, ensuring durability and performance under extreme conditions.
• High-Temperature Organic Binders: The strips are bound with high-temp, organic materials to provide reliable protection that won’t degrade under fire conditions.

Their formula is award winning and industry leading, making BrandGuard unmatched in fire protection.

A Full Line of Fire-Resistant Vents

BrandGuard offers a comprehensive range of products to “harden” your entire home against wildfires, ensuring all potential entry points are protected. Each product is compliant with rigorous building codes for Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) areas.

Why wildfires are a danger to my health

Wildfires produce huge plumes of smoke and gases that are annoying and harmful to our health. The small particles, in the range of 2.5 microns produced by wildfires, are of the greatest concern. To compare this size, a human hair is about 50 -70 microns in diameter. We measure their concentration with a number designated as the PM2.5 measurement (more is worse).

The main concern with PM2.5 particles is that they can work themselves deeply into the lungs (and even the bloodstream) causing lung and heart problems.

How to protect yourself

Filtration, Filtration, Filtration.

The ‘obvious’ filtration is to use a HEPA filter, but here are some thoughts:

1. Will a lower grade (MERV13 and up) work for you?

2. Is the filtration device pulling in enough air volume? This is measured in CFM or cubic feet per minute.

3. Does the filtration device filter air throughout your house?

Small devices with low airflow and the inability to flow air throughout the house may be less effective than high volume air filters with lower (and cheaper to replace) filters.

We’ve been aware for some time that particulate pollution is a health concern and that is why HVACQuick.com designs, builds, and sells a variety of products and systems to effectively and economically filter your air.

Can you just retrofit my furnace filter

Nope.

Higher particle arrestance (better) filters have a higher pressure drop than so called standard filters. To overcome this we build filter boxes with “V”, “W”, or “Angled” filters that have higher areas and keep the pressure drop down. This allows your equipment to maintain airflow avoiding a possible source of low performance or even premature failure.

When it comes to heating and cooling, a furnace or air handler is only as good as the controls telling it what to do. If your system can’t efficiently route air where it’s needed, you’re wasting energy and losing comfort. iO HVAC Controls specializes in the traffic control of the HVAC world.

Whether you’re an installer looking to solve a ‘missing wire’ crisis with a wireless relay, a building manager trying to eliminate a bulky bypass duct using advanced ESP zoning, or a homeowner trying to bring fresh, clean air into a tightly sealed house, iO makes the hardware that solves the problem.

Wireless Relays

The iO-WR and iO-WRP are the perfect solution when you can’t run wire or existing wires have been cut or damaged. Both relays are rated for 1 Amp per channel, operate at a frequency of 915 MHz, 24VAC, 2.8VA with a base transceiver (3 receive / 1 send channels) and a satellite transceiver ( 1 receive / 3 send channels). The difference in receivers lie in their ranges.

Air Cooled Air Conditioners

Air-Cooled portable air conditioners are intended to be rolled into a room near the source of the heat. For spot cooling applications, you point the nozzles at the spot that you want to keep cool. For room cooling applications, the nozzle direction is not as important. Since the air conditioner is inside or near the space requiring cooling, you must duct out the warm air that the air conditioner produces. In an office environment this is typically done by ducting the condenser air from the top of the unit up to a special ceiling tile that directs the air to the main building cooling system’s return air plenum above the ceiling tiles. As the cool air from the unit offsets the heat being produced in the room, the temperature in the room will begin to drop. The capacity of the unit, the amount of heat being added to the room, and the size of the room will determine how much the temperature will drop.

---

Water Cooled Air Conditioners

Water-cooled portable air conditioners are intended to be rolled into a room near the source of the heat. They are intended for room cooling only. Water-cooled units cannot be ducted and do not use nozzles like their air-cooled counterparts. Since the air conditioner is inside the space requiring cooling, you must remove the heat that is produced by the air conditioner. Water cooled units use water instead of air to remove this heat. The unit requires a water supply, water return, and a place to drain condensate. As the cold air from the cooling side of the unit offsets the heat being produced in the room, the temperature in the room begins to drop. The actual temperature drop is determined by the capacity of the unit, the amount of heat being added to the room, and the size of the room.

---

What is the difference?

Both types of units are totally self contained air conditioners with refrigerant and compressors. Air conditioners need a way to reject the heat from the room. Air-cooled portables use air to reject the heat out of the room by ducting the unit above the ceiling tiles. A water cooled unit uses water to reject the heat. So, there has to be a water supply and a hot water return. This can be accomplished with a chilled water loop, condenser water loop, or process water lobby.
