ATLANTA - Through a grant from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, & Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), students at Florida International University, Miami, are designing a new type of residential ventilator with enthalpy wheel heat recovery, which will minimize additional energy use while improving indoor air quality (IAQ).
Twenty-six grants, totaling approximately $120,000, have been awarded by ASHRAE to colleges and universities worldwide to promote the study and teaching of HVACR, encouraging undergraduate students to pursue related careers. The grants will be used to design and construct different projects throughout the coming year.
