Feasibility of Isolating Studio Above Attached Garage
One thing I forgot to ask about is static pressure. I understand what static pressure is, but I'm not sure how to factor it into my design. I know the ERV I'm looking at has variable DC motors which are supposed to compensate for static pressure increases in order to produce the selected CFM value. ...

Here is the 2nd draft of my baffle boxes and ducts. Baffles built with 3/4" birch plywood and 2" Duct board. I'll be working mostly alone so I'll run my Panasonic Intellibalance FV-10VEC2 ERV at 50CFM (low setting) most times. The ERV has 6" ins and outs so I will use 6" flexible...

6027 another option (and you see this in commercial windows) - the main part of the frame if solid and stiff, then a lighter part of inserted which applies pressure to the seal. see picture. the stiff outer frame is assembled as either 2 or (more commonly) 4 pieces which tensions the lighter part a...

rivets or bolts (being aware of metal interactions between aluminum and steel when in the presence of water). use a thick rubber seal all around the glass in place of set blocks, otherwise there is a risk of air gaps and moisture, insects etc. Seems like VHB structural glazing tape would be my best...

Onto the exterior aluminium window frames, here is my first design proposal. I'm looking at 6063 Aluminum for the frame construction which would be powder coated white. My fabricator and I came up with a three piece design that would sandwich the 5/8th laminated glass pane. The pane would sit in neo...

Here is a first sketch of the Fresh Air supplies and Stale Air return along with the four baffles. From the ERV Id use 6" flex duct up to the outer leaf baffles. I'm now considering using 2" duct board to build the baffles. I would again use 6" flexible duct at the penetrations of the...

Feasibility of Isolating Studio Above Attached Garage
I have been deep into researching fresh air needs for my space and this is what I have come up with so far: Room volume ≈ 3600 FT^3. As per Stuart's 6 air changes per hour that equals 21600 FT^3 of air circulation, divided by 60 minutes = 360CFM of circulation. Stuart's rule of thumb is that 20-40% ...

I've been reading the Sound and Vibration Control chapter from the ASHRAE Handbook.
Some really good useful information here highly relevant to this topic.

4537 use a decoupled conduit (S shape if you will) to provide the offset path between the walls. use this method for plumbing (like the refrigerant lines), audio wiring, etc. this is installed during the build so not need to chop things up later. once you route things through your conduits, seal th...

What is "MSM" or "MAM"?
So after spending a solid week studying and putting into practice the math involved for double (and triple) leaf assemblies in Wyle Report WR73-SR, I have come across document ARS-405 which offers a ton of valuable insight into the mathematical terms used in the formulae involved. The ARS-405 docume...
