scope:

This guideline applies to energy recovery ventilation component applications and combinations of energy recovery components with unitary heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning equipment incorporating mechanical ventilation with outside air.

This guideline applies only to energy recovery applications utilizing components tested and rated in accordance with AHRI Standard 1060 (I-P).

Because non-certified data is required for the calculations, the results should not be considered to be "certified".

Purpose. The purpose of this guideline is to establish a method of calculating the energy efficiency of applied Energy Recovery Ventilation components and of heating, ventilating, and/or air-conditioning systems utilizing such components at selected operating conditions. It also provides guidance on proper sizing of cooling and heating equipment when such energy recovery components are applied.
