| EFFECTIVE DESIGN |
| |
Home design dictates system piping, vacuum and air volume needs.
|
| |
|
| |
Vacuum strength needs are dictated by what’s under the home.
Air Volume needs depend on soil cavities (size or leakage to building or outside). |
|
 |
| |
Multiple slabs and maximizing success.
|
| |
Radon enters from under all areas with potency usually based upon area size.
Treating 100% of ground contact areas (including garages) will maximize reductions.

FANS
Choices: It is a balance between vacuum pressure needed (based upon sub-slab conditions) and air volume needed (based upon cavity sizes and tightness.
Experience in choosing the best fan is important. Bigger is not better yet too small will result in compromised effectiveness in cold weather. Oversized fans can cause noise, excess energy loss and problems with other building systems such as combustion appliances. Light duty fans require situations where all gaps and openings to soil can be sealed.
