METHOD TO SIZE ERVs and HRVs
Ventilator Sizing
Tables 1 and 2 should be used to determine the required airflow for a home. These guidelines are taken from ASHRAE 62.2--2007.

HEATING AND COOLING LOAD CHARTS
Although the ventilators process the outside air before it enters the home, additional heating and cooling loads need to be considered.

HEATING LOAD BTUH
The heating load chart shows the heating loads in Btuh for a range
of winter design temperatures for each model of ventilator.
COOLING LOAD BTUH
The cooling load chart shows loads in Btuh as well. To use the
cooling load chart, first find the design enthalpy from a
psychrometric chart using the design dry bulb and wet bulb
temperatures. The cooling load can then be found for a range of
enthalpies for each ventilator.
