Continuous Internal IAQ monitoring to ensure maximum environmental quality. 24/7 exhaust in every kitchen and bathroom. Merv 12 filters endorsed by the American Lung Association used in all resident HVAC units. High performance exterior wall system includes a vapor and air barrier to minimize random air-infiltration.
