Heat recovery ventilation

This is interesting especially if you don't want ducts.

Interesting but $1200 per room? Kind of insane. I'd also like to see a ton of reviews on these things. stripping the heat of outgoing air, storing it then adding it to the air coming back in sounds interesting but complicated. Those ceramic cores must be real expensive to justify that price as well.

I don't know if you have to put one in each room or just cross ventilate a few rooms. Boyles law states that any gas (CO2 or O2, etc) will distribute equally anyway.
