ERV Questions & Answers What is the difference between an HRV and damp situation. In fact, about 2/3 of the energy and an ERV? used by the air conditioner system is to remove The core in an HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilator) moisture. Therefore, when ventilating in the summer, transfers heat from one air stream to the other. This is less moisture brought into the home means less work called sensible heat.
