Build Show Live 2026 Registration
Travis Brungardt walks through the quiet mechanical systems in a high-performance home, focusing on how equipment noise is managed in a well-insulated, air-sealed building. He measures sound levels from mini-splits, dedicated dehumidifiers, an air scrubber, and other mechanical equipment, finding that even louder components remain relatively quiet compared with everyday household appliances. The video also highlights how mechanical-room placement and sound insulation help contain noise while maintaining indoor comfort and air quality. Brungardt discusses how these results challenge common expectations about dehumidifiers and other mechanical equipment being disruptive in high-performance homes.
