“Does this unit depressurize the room it is in? I want to use it in a super-efficient, super-tight Passive House "tiny house"- and air leaks will not be enough makeup air unless it provides its own. We will have an ERV for anyone interested about air!”

No it does not provide it's own air. It pulls air from the room (through leaks under the door etc) and blows hot air out the house. Ideally I would think you want a two-hose air conditioner, that brings in air as well as blowing it out. BTW, this is a great unit though some have added insulation to the hose as it does get hot which somewhat defeats cooling the room. Hope that helps. Consumer reports has a great short video that steps through the portable air conditioner types.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi James - Thanks for considering GE Model APCA09YZBW! The portable air conditioner will depressurize the room. It does not provide its own makeup air. The APCA09YZBW is not recommended for this application. If you have any additional questions, do not hesitate to ask. We are also happy to help at GEAppliances.com! Sue
