[Greenbuilding] [BULK] ERV's

[Lawrence Lile]

Ward sez: 

>I am assuming you mean an HRV, as ERV's are used mostly in a cooling 
climate (which unfortunately, Canada definitely is not).  

The ERV, I'm thinking, recovers and conserves moisture, whereas the HRV
does not, right?  Seems like you'd want to conserve moisture in the
winter.  Help me understand why one is used in cooling climates and one
is not?  


>I have mine on a cycle that runs 20 minutes of every hour on low 
speed and I find that keeps the humidity in check. 

You mean keeps humidity low in the summer, or keeps it high in the
winter?
