Air Exchangers????
I have a friend who has had his camp foamed. The foamer has done "to goood a job" sealing it up. The owners are complaining about a lot of condensation forming on the windows when they run the gas heat. Would an air exchanger have avoided this problem? Is it to late to install one now? If not, where would I start shopping for one? Any of the opinions from the experienced foamers on this site are valued. Thank you for your time.

i assume you mean camp(er) run the bath fan,,or run the kitchen fan...or crack a winder..or put in a dampened thru wall vent...powered or not... run a dehumidifier... put in a mechanical, timed ventilation system... moisture vapor is a byproduct of the combustion of the furnace,,as well as cooking,,cleaning and the breathing of the occupants... this vapor is in the air,,when the air hits the cold winder,,the vapor is cooled to a temp below the dew point and condenstion occurs... you can retro an ERV/HRV after a structure is completed,,it takes more effort,,time is money.. if you foam a structure,,you will make it tight.. it should be mechanically ventilated... it should be mechanically ventilated whether it is a foam system or not,, build it tight,,ventilate it right,,manage the indoor air quality.. building science good,,,, foam good..... |

You can still install an air exchanger, it will help solve your problem. Take a look at which air exchangers are available in your area. https://www.jenreviews.com/best-air-exchanger |
