ShareLong term monitoring of residential heat recovery ventilation with ground heat exchange.

Summary
The monitoring of a demand controlled heat recovery ventilation system with ground heat exchange in a zero-energy building in Groenlo, The Netherlands, revealed interesting practical insights. A healthy indoor climate can be obtained with high comfort in terms of CO2 levels and supply air temperatures. The CO2 level stays well within the comfortable range in the living room and three bed rooms (parents, child, and guests), thanks to the demand controlled ventilation system. Supply air temperatures are in the comfortable range thanks to heat recovery in combination with ground heat exchange by an earth pipe. This is shown for ambient temperatures between -8°C and +33°C. The energy efficient behaviour is proven by the avoided heating load of 3465 kWh (compared to ventilation without heat recovery) and free cooling of 1052 kWh (cooling with respect to inside temperature) during a full year. The observed seasonal performance factor SPF is 17 for the avoided heating and 8 for the free cooling. The thermal efficiency based on supply air temperature is observed to be as high as 91% for a slightly unbalanced air flow. When this is mathematically corrected, thermal efficiency would have been 97% for a perfect balance between supply and return air flow.
