It is a heat recovery ventilator. They have become very popular and in some areas necessary with the super energy effecient homes. Here is a link with some information on how they work.

Those systems seem to improve energy efficiency, but I would hazard to guess that there is an inherent danger in passing exhaust air so close to the the intake. Has anyone ever seen a failure? What to look for, etc.? I've seen a couple of these but never opened them up.

The picture on the right is.....well nice. The picture on the left reminds me of a friend that has a cottage north of Toronto. He tells me that he probably has 1/2 dozen snowmobiles at the bottom of the lake his cottage is on. Way to much Molson is my guess.

Peter I hope that you didn't change your mind about attending the convention. I have the first dozen beers!!
