This report is part of the AQP project A1-020102 on Resilient and Smart Ventilation Systems for Northern Housing. The project is a continuation of the work done in previous projects on air ventilation systems for housing in the Arctic. The focus this time was on enhancing the identified resilient novel dual core energy recovery system and make it a smart air ventilation system for northern housing that will ensure proper ventilation, improved indoor air quality (IAQ), and with the final objective being to reduce health risks for Northern and remote communities. The aim of this project is to investigate the performance of a demand-controlled dual core regenerative energy recovery ventilator (ERV) to adjust ventilation to the specific indoor needs. This research combines the benefits of full demand-controlled air flows and energy recovery to ensure proper ventilation (meet ventilation requirement) of housing experiencing varying occupancy and overcrowding. ...
