Energy Recovery Wheels Save Energy and Reduce HVAC Loads

Any opportunity an engineer may have to recover energy in the design of an HVAC system can pay big dividends in offsetting system first costs as well as the total operation costs of the building. As energy costs continue to rise, and studies indicate the average HVAC system consumes 39% of the energy used in a commercial building (more than any other single source), energy-efficient HVAC design has the potential to bring big savings.
