Thanks for all you do Allison. You’ve saved me a lot of work this year. Instead of spending time writing I send people a link to your blog 😉 A very efficient use of my time! 
 
Seriously, great job. Your skill at writing clear and engaging posts is an inspiration to us dubbers. I always look forward to finding time to read your latest posts. 
 
Have a great 2014.

Armando: Thanks! Happy New Year to you, too! 
 
Paul R.: Likewise. I always look forward to your Ventilation News & Views and encourage everyone interested in this stuff to subscribe. Here’s the link to the Heyoka Solutions website for those interested. 
 
David R.: Thanks! You keep up the great work, too. I learn new stuff from your blog all the time. 
 
John P.: Yeah, that was a while back. I need to write about that again. I’ll see you at the Dry Climate Forum in February, so I look forward to discussing this and more with you there.

Allison, nice summary. I was surprised to follow the bypass duct link and find that was in 2011. I wonder if we have made any progress in the two years. California’s sometimes hated, sometimes loved Title 24 Building Standard that goes into effect mid 2014 allows bypass ducts. However you either have to prove you have at least 350 CFM per ton going out of the conditioned space and back into the conditioned space in every zonal mode or make up the energy penalty with another energy efficiency measure. The easiest solution is to eliminate the bypass and follow the suggestions included in the blog. (some delivery to each zone even when they are not the zone calling — damper stops or run(s) without any damper). Happy 2014, things have to get better. John
