Jake, thank you for another great video. As a Mech. PE, I wish more people in residential would use us for their design, even if a pretty basic house. There is a guy on youtube that claims to be an HVAC expert, but he is not an engineer. You are a professional, Steve B. is a professional and a few years of watching videos does not make one a professional. Thank you for what you do.

How do you put a vented dryer in a house that’s sealed to passive house standards? Seems like it would put the house under unacceptably high negative pressure every time the homeowners run the dryer. Conversely, if you provided mechanical makeup air, the house would have been under obvious positive pressure when running the dryer if the dryer vent wasn’t hooked up. Without any other information to go on, I’m hypothesizing there is no makeup air provision in the house and the dryer vent came loose because it couldn’t overcome the negative pressure created when the dryer was running. But that’s just a guess based on limited information. Please elaborate on whether there is a makeup air strategy for the vented dryer and, if so, what that strategy is. I ask because I’m in the process of designing and building a house that will aim for near-passive house levels of air sealing and I’ve been assuming I will have to abandon my vented dryer in favor of a ductless heat pump dryer. Thank you.

We have in each of our homes and they really have no affect on the envelope. Even the small homes. I was worried at first too. It moves a relatively small amount of air compaired to the total amount inside the home.
