That is the starting point for indoor air quality in South Portland. Whether you need ventilation or filtration depends on how tight the house is.
The local climate decides the sizing math. Coastal microclimate with cold winters reaching lows around 10-20°F and summers peaking at 75-85°F, moderated by ocean proximity. Heat pumps are highly suitable for efficient heating and cooling in this moderate maritime climate. Damp summers and sealed-up winters are when air quality complaints spike.
