Energy recovery ventilation (ERV) has become essential technology for contractors working in most commercial, institutional, and industrial HVAC markets. If you live in a climate where ventilation with outside air represents a significant temperature and/or humidity load, ERV is for you.
In this era of increasing energy prices and heightened awareness of the environment, we simply cannot afford to ignore the useful energy contained in building exhaust and excess exfiltration. In some cases, energy recovery is required by code or by a state program. In other cases, it is supported by utility incentives or a green building initiative. In any case, there are real benefits to the building owner, the operator, and the occupants that can be used to enhance your business and your bottom line.
