[BLDG-SIM] ERV (Energy recovery ventilation) simulation in eQuest

Lan, see this post...

Here's an excerpt:
 
$ FLOAT gives maximum heat recovery but recovers even unwanted heat, so
$ use this setting for temperature control
ERV-TEMP-CTRL = MIXED-AIR-RESET
 
Also, the ΔT between exhaust and OSA is typically not great, even if its 110°F outside and your exhaust/relief is 85°F, the ΔT is only 25°F -- compare that to even a mild winter condition of 35°F, where the ΔT is double at equivalent exhaust temperature (i.e 85 - 35 = 50°F).

Hi, all,
 
I have problem simulating ERV in eQUSET. In the program I specified ERV effectiveness around 72%, the results show 64% energy saving in heating but just 5% saving in cooling, even when I cut off all the fan tempetrature increase. Anyone has experience or suggestion?. Thank you very much.
 
Lan
