Ventilation Services in Garneau

Current building codes require mechanical ventilation in new Edmonton construction for a reason: modern homes are too airtight for natural airflow to handle CO2, moisture, and VOC management on its own. In Garneau, where newer builds dominate, HRV installation is often a code requirement, not a recommendation.

For older Garneau homes, the calculation is different but the conclusion is similar. Houses built before airtightness standards were strict may seem to breathe on their own, but that infiltration is uncontrolled and seasonal — not the consistent, filtered fresh air exchange that an HRV provides.
