This article presents a brief description of the types of mechanical ventilation systems commonly installed for houses, and the effect of the operation of such a system on the house pressure and the performance of other appliances. It also presents a method for determining the air flow rate of the mechanical ventilation system required for winter operation, which takes advantage of the increased air infiltration in winter, and some guidelines for distributing the ventilation air effectively.
