Patent number: 9816714Abstract: A method of controlling moisture reaching a building façade may include providing a weather resistant building shield, the shield including first and second subchannels. The building shield may be disposed parallel to an inner façade and separated from the inner façade by an air gap. The method may include causing input air to flow through the first subchannel at an input air flow rate and causing exhaust air to flow through the second subchannel at an exhaust air flow rate. Controlling at least one of the input and exhaust air flow rates may provide control over moisture content in the gap.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2015Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: Architectural Applications P.C.Inventor: John Edward Breshears

Publication number: 20160258637Abstract: An architectural heat and moisture exchanger. The exchanger defines an interior channel which is divided into a plurality of sub-channels by a membrane configured to allow passage of water vapor and to prevent substantial passage of air. In some embodiments, the exchanger includes an opaque housing configured to form a portion of a building enclosure, such as an exterior wall, an interior wall, a roof, a floor, or a foundation.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2016Publication date: September 8, 2016Applicant: Architectural Applications P.C.Inventor: John Edward BRESHEARS
