The variables I would focus on are the sensible, and if appropriate, latent effectiveness, as well as the ERV-OA-FLOW and ERV-EXH-FLOW. The effectiveness and/or efficiency are provided by the HRV/ERV manufacturer. Note that "efficiency" and "effectiveness" mean different things, and if you enter the efficiency in eQUEST instead of sensible/latent effectiveness you will underestimate the energy savings. See HVI (Home Ventilation Institute), Section 3, page two:</p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span><a target="_blank" href="http://www.hvi.org/resourcelibrary/proddirectory.html">http://www.hvi.org/resourcelibrary/proddirectory.html</a></span></p><p class="MsoPlainText"> </p><p class="MsoPlainText">The manufacturer might have values for the air film
resistance fraction and exponent, but don't count on it. These values modify the effectiveness based on hourly OA and exhaust airflows, so they won't even matter unless the hourly airflows through the ERV/HRV change significantly.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"> </p><p class="MsoPlainText">Regards,</p><p class="MsoPlainText">Bill</p><p class="MsoPlainText"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><img id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:1.4102178557@web83301.mail.sp1.yahoo.com" alt="Signature in jpg form" border="0" width="496" height="123"></p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoPlainText">-----Original Message-----<br>From: equest-users-bounces@lists.onebuilding.org [mailto:equest-users-bounces@lists.onebuilding.org] On Behalf Of BLafley<br>Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2011 4:59 PM<br>To: equest-users@lists.onebuilding.org<br>Subject: [Equest-users] Heat Recovery question</p><p class="MsoPlainText"> </p><p class="MsoPlainText">Hello,</p><p
