I have a home built in 2014 in Alberta. I’ve been limping through winters with my HRV on full blast to get 80bmq. It was thinking about turning all my gutter downspouts into rain collectors (with extra being piped a few meters from the house) just so I could cap off the exterior drain tile, and add an external fan. I have a sump of course, but I have capped it off and it just makes sense to pull air from the exterior than from the interior section of the drain tile.

Anyone have experience doing it this way? Any positive results? Should I consider a different approach? Thank you in advance
