Description: Investigaction of the impact of energy transfer from a conditioned air space into the ductwork of a residential heat recovery ventilator. The study was undertaken because field testing indicated poor performance for installed HRV systems. The study identifies typical installed duct configurations and quantifies the performance effects of energy losses to the HRV ducting system.
