Do single room, quiet (

Those links look really interesting... but FYI, the Venmar units thatare very common up here where I am have optional instructions ofinstallation that do not use ductwork--you simply put the return at thehigher level of the home and the supply at the bottom (ie. basement)from the HRV (using flex. duct) and it's "proper". Very easy toinstall--I did one myself (though I used a separate return but fed thesupply into the ductwork). Why not put the return upstairs (you canuse the space between two studs in the wall as a "duct") and ventilatethe whole house? It wouldn't cost any more--save for some extra flex.duct to the wall and a cap for the wall exterier upstairs...Peace, Dan

You're neat. And you have a disturbing fascination with my ass.

Ooops--I forgot that you have no forced-air system/ducting. I'm curious why you need two holes to the outside? There are attactments you can buy (from the HVAC supply place--although you'll pay 3x the cost for them) where you hook up both the in and out into one pipe and it is split on the outside end (and only one end-cap/cover).

Anyway, sounds like an opportunity for importing the European stuff here!

Peace, Dan
