recovery. Depending upon your geographic location and the percentage of outdoor air in the application,
ASHRAE recommends when to use energy recovery. An important part of this guideline is that when energy
recovery is recommended, the device should be a minimum of 50% total (sensible and latent) effectiveness
according to ARI 1060 testing procedure.
ASHRAE Standard 189.1 provides high performing building design guidelines. This requires even higher energy
recovery device performance than Standard 90.1. When energy recovery is recommended, the device shall be
a minimum 60% total (sensible and latent) effectiveness according to ARI 1060 testing procedure.
