Total Heat Recovery vs. Sensible Heat Recovery

Choose the Right Fresh Air System for Your Climate

When selecting a fresh air ventilation system, climate makes a critical difference.
Sensible heat recovery systems transfer temperature only, helping reduce heating and cooling loads. They are cost-effective and suitable for mild climates where humidity control is not a priority.

Total heat recovery systems go further by recovering both heat and moisture. In hot and humid regions, they pre-cool and pre-dehumidify incoming air. In cold and dry climates, they retain indoor humidity and improve comfort.
The more extreme the climate, the greater the advantage of total heat recovery—delivering better comfort with lower long-term energy consumption.
