  Hypothesis
Brian Installs HOBO's in the output vent in the south classroom of the Moss Street childrens Center.

The heat recovery unit for the south wing classrooms is located in the attic space behind these louvers.

The heat recovery unit in the south mezzanine is not performing at its rated efficiency of 80%.

Inquiry Questions

  • Is the temperature of air returning to the classroom via the air exchange ventilation system appropriate to the targeted classroom temperature? Specifically is it cool in summer and warm in winter, so as not to compete with the radiant heating/cooling in the floor?

  • What was the design intent for using the heat recovery unit?

  • What are the performance specifications for the ventilation system and for the heating systems?

  • How is heat recovery unit efficiency determined?

  • What systems are controlling the heat recovery unit?

  • What is the maintenance protocol for the heat recovery unit?
