Abstract
SYNOPSIS Low energy houses may now incorporate controlled ventilation with heat recovery to complement high levels of thermal insulation. Four families who purchased such houses have been studied. Much of the savings available from reduced energy losses was used to operate the house at higher temperatures. The mechanical ventilation system was successful not only in removing smells but by bringing moisture under control it provided many unexpected benefits. Thus windows remained clear throughout the year, the towels dried quickly, and the salt and sugar flowed freely and open food packs such as breakfast cereals stayed crisp.
