Lifebreath PURE PERFORMANCE 130 ERV-D Guide Du Propriétaire page 3

Introduction
Today's air tight homes combined with the homeowner's increased awareness to health and the
air they breathe inside and outside their homes is why a Lifebreath Energy Recovery Ventilator
(ERV) is recommended for you.
These high efficient units act as the lungs of the house by exhausting stale contaminated air to
the outside and replacing it with clean fresh air. Without the use of an ERV the air inside your
home becomes stale and polluted as contaminates are added through daily activities, trapping
the unhealthy air indoors for everyone to breathe again and again.
The energy recovery core inside the Lifebreath ERV transfers the majority of the energy in the
exhaust airstream (that you have already paid for in the way of heating or cooling your home),
and uses this to condition the incoming supply air which saves you money. This results in
ventilation air being warmer or cooler than the air outside depending on the climate and season.
Since the Lifebreath energy recovery core is designed to also allow water vapor to pass through
it, some humidity may be retained inside of the home during the dry winter months and the
majority of moisture will be prevented from coming into the home during the summer cooling
season.
