A manifold distributes the flow from a single duct into separate ducts. This manifold provided by Zehnder allows us to take the air coming through the ERV supply duct and split it to provide fresh air to each of the four zones of the house. Keep checking back as we continue to install and test our mechanical systems.

— We are excited to have started building the SURE HOUSE in a parking lot on the campus of Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken New Jersey. “SURE Construction” is a subset of our PopSci blog that we’ll use to chronicle our construction process. Check back often if you want to follow our progress and get a first hand view of how a sustainable and resilient house takes shape.
