In this design guideline, key points are explained to succeed in reducing energy use for HVAC systems with energy recovery systems. It covers the reduction of the heating and cooling need (load) due to ventilation and infiltration as well as the reduction of energy use for fans and heat generators. As background of the key points, performance indices and testing standards of energy recovery systems are explained.
As a follow-up regarding submissions for the AIVC–TightVent–Venticool 2026 Conference, “Innovations in Smart Ventilation and Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) for Resilient and Adaptive Buildings,” to be held on September 30 and October 1, 2026, in Incheon, Republic of Korea, we would like to remind authors of the following submission deadline.
