This same question/company came up a while ago. Their idea is to pull a ton of conditioned air from the home and then vent it to the outside. The fan unit is in the basement or first floor if on slab. This company was trying to recruit me to install their systems. I asked them about make up air, they did not have an answer. I also asked them about the energy loss, they had no answer.I spoke to my local energy star instructor about this system, he said it was a very, very bad idea to have one of these systems in any home. Just another company trying to make a buck without caring about the effects/costs to the customer. David DanielsRadon Specialists of WIDMD Plumbing & ElectricDuoVac1-866-569-7236From: "Wally Dorsey, Jr" To: RADONPROFESSIONALS@LIST.UIOWA.EDUSent: Fri, May 13, 2011 11:25:31 AMSubject: Re: [RNPROF] THE NEWEST INTERNATIONAL TREND ABOUT REGULATION OF INDOOR RADON.I've got to wonder how much the home energy bills have increased. It sounds like HRV.

> Source> Italian National Institute of Health, Viale Regina Elena 299, Rome 00161, Italy.> Abstract> On the basis of recent epidemiological findings, many international and national organisations have revised their recommendations and regulations on radon exposure in dwellings and workplaces, or are in the process to do it. In particular, new recommendations and regulations were recently published (or are going to be) by World Health Organization, Nordic Countries, International Commission on Radiological Protection, International, Atomic Energy Agency (and the other international organisations sponsoring the International Basic Safety Standards), European Commission. Although with some differences, these new documents recommend lower radon concentrations in indoor air, especially in dwellings, compared with previous ones. Moreover, preventive measures in all new buildings are more and more considered as one of the most
cost-effective way to reduce the radon-related lung cancers, compared with previous approach restricting preventive measures in radon-prone areas only. A comprehensive national action plan, involving several national and local authorities, is generally considered a necessary tool to deal with the many complex actions needed to reduce the risk from radon exposure in an effective way.
