The supply and use of exhaust heat recovery ventilation system as effective energy saving equipment has been increasing steadily. The exhaust heat recovery ventilation system can be installed at ceiling of balcony or emergency space. However, ventilation system can not be installed at emergency space because where have to remain as empty space by law. Therefore, the proper installation space of ventilation system is needed. In this study, to install heat recovery ventilation system in the light weight wall, thickness of heat exchanger was assembled below 140 mm. One or two paper heat exchangers were installed in the ventilation system. The efficiency of heat recovery was analyzed through performance experiment on case of cooling and heating mode.

Exhaust heat recovery ventilation systems conserve energy through enthalpy recovery between air intake and exhaust, and they are being increasingly used. An exhaust heat recovery ventilation system can be installed in the ceiling of a balcony or emergency evacuation space. However, in the case of fire, the emergency evacuation space has to by law remain as empty space, and therefore, a ventilation system can't be installed in an emergency evacuation space. Therefore, the need for a proper installation space for a ventilation system is emphasized. In this study, to install a heat recovery ventilation system in a lightweight wall, a heat exchanger was assembled of thickness below 140 mm. The efficiency of heat recovery was analyzed through performance experiment, in the case of the cooling and heating mode. The heat recovery efficiency increases when the surface area is increased, by using closer channel spacing in the heat exchanger, or by increasing the size of the heat exchanger.

In order to control indoor air quality and save energy, it is needed to install a suitable ventilation system equipped with heat exchanger for heat recovery. The purpose of this research is to find the performance of paper heat exchanger for exhaust heat recovery, which exchanges latent heat as well as sensible heat. Experimental apparatus comprises heat exchanger model, constant temperature and humidity chamber, fan and measurement systems for temperature, pressure and flow rate. Thermal performance and pressure loss of the paper heat exchanger are measured and compared at various air velocities and outdoor conditions. Experimental results show that paper heat exchanger can recover $50{\sim}70%$ of the enthalpy difference between supply and exhaust air.

The importance of ventilation system is being emphasized by interest of indoor air quality. Especially, heat recovery ventilation system has attracted attention as most effective ventilation plan. Because it can reduce hazardous construction materials, indoor air pollutions, and also can reduce air conditioning energy cost. In heat recovery ventilator, the element core is the most important part. The element core is composed of liner and spacer. And liner and spacer are stacked alternately. On the Liner, heat and humidity transfer are made between supply and exhaust air. And spacer plays a role as a tunnel of exhaust and supply. In this study, we investigated and analyzed the efficiency of a heat recovery ventilator, when the spacer's properties are changed. As a result, difference spacer's properties affect an efficiency of heat recovery ventilator.

In order to control indoor air quality and save energy, it is needed to install a suitable ventilation system equipped with heat exchanger for heat recovery The purpose of this research is to find the factors affecting the performance of paper heat exchanger for exhaust heat recovery, which can be applied directly to the conventional ventilation unit, air-purifier, and air-conditioning system. In this study, thermal performance and pressure loss of the paper heat exchanger are measured and compared at various operating conditions. The effectiveness of sensible, latent and total heat at the face velocity of 0.75 m/s are $77\%,\;47\%\;and\;57\%$ in the cooling condition and $77\%,\;59\%,\;and\;\%$ in the heating condition, respectively. The effectiveness for sensible heat is only affected by velocity. On the other hand, the effectiveness for latent heat is affected. by temperature and relative humidity.

In order to control indoor air quality and save energy. it is needed to install a suitable ventilation system equipped with heat exchanger for heat recovery. Paper heat exchanger can recover $50{\sim}70$ of the enthalpy difference between supply and exhaust air. The purpose of this research is to obtain the experimental correlations for the friction factor, heat transfer coefficient, mass transfer coefficient and permeance of paper heat exchanger, which can be used for the performance prediction of the paper heat exchanger. Pressure drop at various velocities and heat transfer rate at various dry-bulb temperatures, relative humidities, and specific humidities are measured to make experimental correlations. The results of prediction using correlations show fairly good agreement with experimental data.

Nowaday the natural ventilation rate decreases because the apartment housing is being air-tight. Therefore, Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and indoor environment grow worse. Especially, Formaldehyde (HCHO), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) which is emitted from the building materials and coating material etc. occur Sick House Syndrome that cause negative impact on resident's respiratory system and body. Therefore in construction field, it will be a important issues that development of a ventilation system with high effectiveness which can exhaust the contaminant out of the building quickly. In this research we evaluated 'wall attachable duct-less Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) system with air cleaning function'. We executed a synthetic evaluation about indoor air environment under various operating condition installing the system in real scale apartment house that is built in Anyang city. HRV system with air cleaning function showed good performance by removing HCHO, VOCs with less ventilation energy.

In this study, performance tests were conducted to investigate the applicability of a double-tube heat recovery ventilation system. Paper, aluminum, polymer, were investigated as materials for the inner tube using the same exhaust-air volume. In all cases, the temperature exchange efficiency of the aluminum tube was the highest, while the paper tube showed similar results to those of the polymer tube. This probably resulted from the differences in thermal conductivity and thicknesses of the materials. The humidity exchange efficiency was the highest for the paper tubes in all cases, while the aluminum tubes and polymer tubes showed similar results. The total heat exchange efficiency, which includes the values of humidity exchange and temperature exchange, was highest in the case of the paper tube, and the aluminum tube and the polymer tube showed similar results. In the case of the paper tube, sensible heat and latent heat exchange occur at the same time, and the coefficient of energy of the aluminum tube and polymer tube are large values, when to be compared with only applicably sensible heat exchange coefficient of the aluminum tube and the polymer tube of total heat exchange efficiency value. The results of this study could be applied to the design of a ventilation system.

The objective of this study is to develop energy saving strategies for indoor swimming pools and to estimate the effect of each energy saving strategy. For this purpose, field measurements regarding pool water heating energy, domestic hot water heating energy are conducted and a base energy consumption model is implemented using the DOE-2.1E program.
