Why It Matters
Offices ventilate during long occupied hours. Older constant-volume systems throw that conditioned air away, wasting heating and cooling simultaneously.
Typical Energy Savings
A crossflow plate core typically cuts the ventilation heating and cooling load by 50 to 70 percent.
Recommended Technology
- Crossflow plate core - simple, compact, low maintenance
- Integrated heat-recovery ventilator for retrofits
What to Watch
- Confirm the fan can handle added static pressure
- Pair with demand-controlled ventilation for extra savings
