Bring Air In on Purpose

Understand why tightening the building means replacing accidental air leakage with planned ventilation.

Manage the Air People Breathe

Learn how outdoor air comes in, used air goes out, air reaches occupied rooms, and filtration becomes part of the system.

Design the Breath, Not Just the Equipment

Understand why “The Breath” is not simply an ERV, HRV, fan, or other piece of equipment. It is the planned movement and management of air for the occupants.

About Stick Fifteen — The Breath

A good shelter controls the outside world, but the people living inside still need to breathe. Stick Fifteen focuses on the planned air that occupants breathe. After insulation, air sealing, and testing have reduced accidental air movement, the building needs a deliberate way to bring outdoor air in and move used air out. You’ll look at ventilation, supply, exhaust, filtration, moisture, air distribution, and how to verify that the system is actually delivering what it was designed to provide. The goal is not simply to install a ventilation product. It is to design and manage the air the occupants breathe.
