Re: Schermerhorn Construction — Newcomb Street Apartments — HRV Unit specifications
John & Mark,
Attached are the manufacturer's catalog cut -sheets for the HRV Units at the above referenced
project location as well as a revised drawing A-2 (provided previously) showing the location of the
HRV Units within the apartment.
As discussed at your office yesterday the documentation shows that the units are acceptable for
use as supplemental HRV units and based on discussion with the HVAC designer the required 60
cfm of outside air will be provided by these units. According to the manufacturer there is no such
blanket statement which says that the units are compliant with the IECC requirements, nor does
that statement exist for any HVAC equipment that we could find. According to the manufacturer as
the designer of record for the project and the design professional who provided the energy code
compliance certification it would be up to me to determine that the units provided meet the design
intent of the energy code. Since it appears that the requirements for fresh air are met by this unit it
is my determination that these units are compliant and they are acceptable to this office.
If there are any additional questions please let me know.
