How Energy Recovery Ventilators Improve Air Quality

Energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) are modern ventilation designs and a part of an HVAC system that improves the quality of indoor air and saves energy. The more interesting aspect of ERVs is how they work towards improving the quality of indoor air.

Definition and Function of Energy Recovery Ventilator

ERV is a ventilation system that aims at bringing in fresh air and controlling losses of heating/cooling in a way that is thermodynamically balanced. This is accomplished in such a way that fresh air does not cause discomfort in the surroundings by recovering heat and moisture from unreasonable fresh air and reintroducing it back.

Addressing Indoor Air Quality Challenges with Energy Recovery VentilatorWhereas ERVS’s primary function is to ventilate the indoor air by drawing in clean air from outside, they assist in reducing indoor air pollution, dust, allergens, and VOCs by bedding out stale air. This improves air quality and is likely to reduce problems associated with the respiratory system.

Cost Savings and Energy Efficiency

The construction of Energy recovery ventilators is unique in that they utilize energy recovered from the ventilation air rather than letting it go to waste. Such energy recovery decreases the demands for heating and cooling which results in less energy being utilized as well as money being spent.

Coupling with the HVAC Circuits

Existing HVAC systems can also be supplemented with ERVs to improve indoor air quality and use less power in the process. ERVs compensate for air conditioning and heating; therefore, indoors remain healthy, and comfortable.

Ergonomics and Customization

There are many standard dimensions and design options for the ERV units suitable for different structures. ERVs can be further adapted to various residential, commercial, or industrial needs.
