Mexico has significant climate differences across the country, and the humidity and temperature conditions in different regions have a great impact on the applicability of ERV (energy recovery ventilation system). 

The following are areas suitable for installing ERV systems based on climate characteristics, building needs and industrial distribution:

1. Tropical coastal and lowland areas

Applicable areas:

Campeche, Quintana Roo (Yucatan Peninsula): High temperature and humidity all year round (average humidity>80%), ERV can efficiently discharge moisture and recover energy, 

reducing the burden of air conditioning dehumidification.

Veracruz, Tabasco: It is humid and hot in the rainy season, and ERV takes into account both humidity control and ventilation efficiency, which is suitable for residences and hotels.

Advantages:

ERV's humidity exchange core can prevent external moisture from invading and maintain indoor dryness (such as traditional buildings in Campeche need to be moisture-proof and mildew-proof)

2. Plateau and inland arid/semi-arid cities

Applicable areas:

Mexico City (2,240 meters above sea level): large temperature difference between day and night (10°C–26°C), dry in winter. ERV can retain indoor humidity during ventilation to avoid excessive dryness in winter.

San Luis Potosí and Aguascalientes: low annual precipitation, ERV reduces reliance on humidification equipment and balances comfort.

Typical scenarios:

High-rise apartments use centralized ERV systems (such as new residential buildings in Mexico City) to save space through vertical air shafts.

3. Industrial manufacturing centers and emerging economic zones

Applicable areas:

Nuevo León (Monterrey): the core area of North American manufacturing transfer, factories and warehouses require constant temperature and humidity. ERV stabilizes temperature and 

humidity during ventilation and reduces energy consumption in workshops.

Coahuila (Saltillo): the automotive industry chain is dense, and the factory uses a large ERV system to ensure the production environment.

Policy support: ‌

Monterrey AHR exhibition (September 2025) will showcase industrial-grade ERV solutions to promote localized applications‌.

4. Cold and dry areas on the northern border‌

Applicable areas:‌

Chihuahua, northern Coahuila: low temperatures in winter (up to -5°C) and dry summers. ERV heat recovery efficiency is > 70%, reducing heating energy consumption while avoiding excessive ventilation and 

humidity loss‌.

Installation suggestions:‌

ERV needs to be placed in indoor conditioned spaces (such as insulated machine rooms) to prevent cold from affecting operating efficiency (refer to the New Mexico case). ‌

It is recommended to select based on local climate and building type: ERV is preferred in hot and humid areas, and HRV/ERV cost-effectiveness can be compared in dry and cold areas‌; industrial projects need to

 match centralized systems‌.
