What are the different types of ventilation systems in a house plan?

There are several types of ventilation systems in a house plan:

1. Natural ventilation: This system allows fresh air to flow in and out of the house through strategically placed openings like windows and doors.

2. Exhaust ventilation: This system draws out stale, moist air from the house through exhaust fans located in bathrooms, kitchens, and other areas where humidity is high.

3. Supply ventilation: This system brings in fresh air from outside the house through supply fans located in living areas and bedrooms.

4. Balanced ventilation: This system combines both exhaust and supply ventilation to keep the indoor air fresh and healthy.

5. Heat recovery ventilation: This system recovers heat from exhaust air and uses it to warm up incoming fresh air, reducing heating costs.

6. Energy recovery ventilation: This system recovers both heat and moisture from exhaust air and uses it to condition incoming fresh air, reducing energy costs.
