较高的室外通风空气要求可能会导致建筑能耗、热不适、室内空气质量问题和诉讼的显著增加。工程师们经常避免使用地源热泵，因为他们认为没有可接受的方法来调节通风空气。然而，目前所有类型的加热和冷却系统都存在这个问题。决策可能基于设计条件下的系统性能，而不考虑季节性能耗。一种用于评估室外空气处理系统能量使用的bin方法已经开发出来，并在前一篇论文中进行了描述。另一篇论文仅限于讨论气候温暖的四层办公楼和五种通风系统选项。 本文将评估程序的应用扩展到三种不同气候（伯明翰、圣路易斯和明尼阿波利斯）下的两个附加选项。除了四层办公楼外，讨论还包括一所学校的八间教室。结果表明，风机能耗对常规设备和热回收设备的年能耗有很大影响。建筑物平衡点温度的计算至关重要，因为大多数系统允许室外条件低于房间设定点条件时，室外空气置换冷却设备能量。在以制冷为主的气候条件下，热回收系统每年节省的能源很少，但在较冷的气候条件下更有效。 单位:双引文:研讨会，ASHRAE交易，第106卷，pt。2.

High outdoor ventilation air requirements can lead to significant increases in building energy use, thermal discomfort, indoor air quality problems, and litigation. Engineers often avoid ground-source heat pumps because of the perception that there are no acceptable methods for conditioning the ventilation air. However, this difficulty is currently a problem with all types of heating and cooling systems. Decisions may be based on system performance at design conditions without regard to seasonal energy consumption. A bin method for evaluating the energy use of outdoor air treatment systems has been developed and is described in a previous paper. Another paper was limited to the discussion of a four-story office building in a warm climate and five ventilation air system options. This paper extends the application of the evaluation procedure to two additional options in three different climates (Birmingham, St. Louis, and Minneapolis). In addition to the four-story office building, the discussion also includes an eight-classroom wing of a school. The results indicate fan energy requirements have a strong influence on annual energy consumption of conventional and heat recovery equipment. The calculation of the building balance point temperature is critical since most systems permit the outdoor air to displace cooling equipment energy when outdoor conditions are below the room set point conditions. Heat recovery systems saved little annual energy in cooling-dominated climates but were more effective in colder climates.Units: Dual
