Harris was selected by Sage Hospitality to replace the existing swimming pool energy recovery ventilator (ERV) within the hotel which was installed in 1988. The purpose of the ERV is to exhaust the warm, humid chlorinated air and supply fresh, dehumidified outside air to keep the pool environment comfortable for guests. Using a fixed-plate heat exchanger to move energy from one airstream to another, the ERV decreases the amount of cooling and heating needed to condition the incoming fresh air.
