Unfortunately ventilation tends to become a "tweener", no one knows who specs it or who is responsible for it. Thankfully there is now more awareness of the issues. Building rehabs can become even trickier, now there a more opinions involved, architect, city, owner, and tenants a good project consultant can make a big difference.

Thanks a ton for the clarification on mechanical ventilation for homes and commercial real estate. I had a meeting just today with a heating contractor for a major office building rehab and had to ask that same question about the specifications.

If you look at it from the bait and switch point of view it's worse than poor policy. If the intent was to just pop customers a little extra with a semi legit excuse then it's pretty shady.

Good post and I agree that is terrible customer service and worse a bait and switch. The price of gas is no more important than the pric of the contractor's insurance.
