 Field Survey of Heat Recovery Ventilation Systems (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation)
Given the increased reliance on HRVs for ventilation, this research project was undertaken to determine the extent of homeowner knowledge and the extent of problems related to lack of maintenance and adjustment.
Most occupants understood the general purpose of their HRV; however, comprehension of the technical aspects required to use and maintain the HRV system properly was low, despite more than half having had the operation explained to them and most having been provided an operation manual (only 32% reported that they had read their manual).
Of the 77% of occupants who reported they understood their HRV systems, 55% had unbalanced systems, 60% had substandard ventilation and 55% of occupants with partially ducted or simplified systems were not aware of the need to operate the fan of the forced air heating system.

 RenewAire Energy Recovery Ventilation
The Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) and Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) are fresh air exchange appliances that take fresh air into a dwelling, clean and evenly circulate the fresh air and expel stale, polluted air while controlling humidity and minimizing heat loss/gain.
HRVs are also known for drying the house air to uncomfortable levels in climates where winter can last months.
These types of ventilation systems are still not that common, and many heating, ventilation and air conditioning contractors may not have very much technical expertise and experience with them.

The unparalleled feature of heat recovery ventilation is that it recovers 60 to 75% of the heat in the exhaust air and returns it to the home.
A heat recovery ventilator is similar to a balanced ventilation system, but the main difference is that it uses the heat in the outgoing stale air to warm up the fresh air.
The core transfers heat from the outgoing stream to the incoming stream in the same way that the radiator in your car transfers heat from the engine's coolant to the outside air.

 SOLACE Energy - Learn why an HRV gets rid of condensation, mold and musty odors
Heat recovery ventilation is essential in airtight, well-insulated homes because if indoor air can't escape, fresh air and oxygen can't get in.
Heat recovery ventilation corrects this condition by providing clean, fresh air and getting rid of the stale, humid air.
After passing through the ventilator, fresh warm air is released to each room in your house, either independently ducted or integrated through a forced air system.

 Scandinavian Homes; Ecological Heating and Ventilation Introduction
We consider good ventilation essential, however it is difficult to achieve good energy performance without some form of reduction of the ventilation heat losses.
In a balanced ventilation system the old air is extracted from the “dirty“ rooms, kitchen, bath and laundry, and fresh pre-heated air is distributed through a duct system to all “clean” rooms.
The heat in the old air is amplified in the heat pump to heat the tap water.

 Thermsaver - Frequently asked questions about Heat Recovery Ventilation
In today's well insulated homes, up to 37% of the total heat loss takes place through ventilation air losses; therefore it is most important to achieve a balance between excessive ventilation with consequent heat loss, and sufficient ventilation for a condensation and odour free clean atmosphere.
The heat in the air exhausted by these units is lost completely to the outside.
When replacing kitchen and bathroom extractors with a central system with heat recovery, a substantial amount of the heat is captured and transferred to the incoming fresh air.
