A small studio suite in storey multiunit residential building in Vancouver has an area of m with envelope
wall area of m The suite has a heat recovery ventilation HRV that suppliesexhausts Ls of balanced
ventilation. Air from a slightly pressurized corridor enters the suite through gaps around its main door at a rate
of Ls The building is airtight and compartmentalized, so the stack effect is neglected. The prevailing winter
ambientoutdoor conditions are C and The suite indoor temperature is maintained at
C The corridor is maintained at C and The HRV supply air temperature is C heat
exchanger prewarms the outdoor air before being supplied to the suite The moisture generation rate by the
occupants is kgh
a Calculate the relative humidity of the air supplied by the HRV
b Calculate the relative humidity at the suite. Note that the air and moisture balance equations need to
consider the exfiltration of indoor air through the envelope.
c Calculate the minimum window temperature to eliminate the risk of condensation under these
conditions.
