Airxchange\u00ae. The developers of Turtle River Montessori School in Jupiter, Fla., wanted students to have
\nthe best possible indoor air quality, but the school needed to be energy-efficient as well. One
\nrecommendation was high-efficiency air-to-air Energy Recovery Ventilation (ERV) to reduce outside air
\n(OA) load\u2014the required rate of heat removal from outside air. ERV wheels dramatically reduce HVAC
\ncosts by recycling the heating and cooling energy in exhaust air (not the air itself), thereby reducing the
\nload on the HVAC system by as much as 80 percent. This reduction in load not only translates into
\nsignificant ongoing cost savings, but also allows the downsizing of HVAC equipment, thereby reducing
\nfirst cost and providing an immediate return on investment.<\/p>\n
The Airxchange\u00ae energy recovery ventilation (ERV) system installed at the school saved about $25,000 in
\nconstruction costs. And since the school opened, it has delivered still more savings at the rate of about
\n$6,000 per year, compared with the utility bills the school would have had with a conventional HVAC
\nsystem.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe indoor air quality is excellent,\u201d says Bubli Dandiya, the building\u2019s owner and principal. \u201cThe
\nbuilding is very comfortable, and the air always smells fresh and clean.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
