Type of article: Article

Summary

With increased focus on reducing energy consumption in buildings, the use of exhaust-air energy recovery in HVAC systems is becoming more common, somewhat prompted by the requirements of ASHRAE Standards 90.1 and 189.1. Proper control of the energy-recovery device is critical to realize the expected energy savings. Although there are several other types of energy-recovery devices, and exhaust-air energy recovery is also applied in mixed-air systems, the focus of this article is on proper control of a total energy wheel (or enthalpy wheel) when applied in a dedicated outdoor air system (DOAS).
