The ductwork is now in place for the heating and cooling system. All of the air in the house will be cycled through the rooms and a machine called a 'counterflow heat exchanger.' This sends exhaust air past the incoming air in such a way to 'recover' 95% of the energy (for a detailed explanation, see www.e-colab.org). This system maintains a comfortable temperature in the house with 90% of the energy use of 'traditional' homes.
