New occupants of energy efficient homes with heat recovery ventilators report improvement over 1 year in the symptoms of throat irritation, cough, fatigue, and irritability in comparison with control new home occupants. If this pilot study is reproducible and shown to relate to indoor air quality, prospective new home buyers may be interested in obtaining this health information prior to decision making.

A key issue in residential cogeneration is how to size and integrate the required technologies in order to satisfy the total energy needs of the household, consisting of electricity, domestic hot water, space heating and space cooling. An interesting pathway to a more sustainable future involves the use of the earth surrounding the home as both a source and a sink for energy, especially if it enables the recycling of summertime waste heat from the generator.
