Fresh air for house in very mild climate

caliberger | Posted in General Questions on
I’m remodelling a house on the ocean in a very mild climate where monthly average temperatures range from 60 to 76 F and monthly average humidity ranges from 61 to 71%
The plan is to build a pretty tight envelope so replacing stale air will be an issue
Heating will be hydronic radiant and because of the climate there is no mechanical cooling
I don’t think I need an energy recover system although am open to the idea and don’t want to run ducts
What are some good options?

    Open the windows...

      Yes- easiest and cheapest
      But I'd like to come home to a house that is filled with fresh air, not stale air that needs to be flushed by opening the windows every day

        Where are you planning on getting this fresh air from?
