ERVRatio

Brief Description

Erv ratio of at least 50%

Detailed Description

Energy recovery systems required by this section shall result in an enthalpy recovery ratio of at least 50%. a 50% enthalpy recovery ratio shall mean a change in the enthalpy of the outdoor air supply equal to 50% of the difference between the outdoor air and entering exhaust air enthalpies at design conditions.
