ᐅ Experiences with Exhaust Hoods in Mechanical Ventilation Systems?

Hello everyone,

My question is about using an exhaust hood despite having a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery.

Does anyone have experience with this?

The background is that with a mechanical ventilation system, using recirculation air is generally recommended. But what about exhaust air?

I want to make sure that dirt and odors stay outside.

Thank you very much for your information.

We also have a vented range hood, and we are generally satisfied with it. I believe that a recirculating range hood does not effectively filter odors and grease. With recirculation, there is also a risk of moisture buildup.
