The following places in Honduras are suitable for ERV (energy recovery ventilation) systems, mainly based on their climate characteristics, building functions and energy-saving needs:
1. Industrial and energy facilities
Large energy storage power stations
The largest energy storage project in Central America (located in Honduras) needs to maintain a constant temperature and humidity environment for equipment.
The ERV system can cooperate with air conditioning to reduce energy consumption while ensuring the stable operation of power equipment.
Hydropower station control center
The closed control room of clean energy projects (such as hydropower plants) needs to be continuously ventilated. ERV reduces the air conditioning load through energy recovery and
adapts to high temperature and high humidity environments.
2. Tourism and public buildings
High-end lakeside hotels
For example, hotels around Lago de Yojoa, ERV uses exhaust energy to pre-treat fresh air while regulating indoor temperature and humidity, reducing air conditioning energy consumption and
improving tourist comfort.
Museums and ruins protection areas
Places such as Copán Ruinas need to maintain a cultural relic preservation environment. The ERV system can balance ventilation and temperature and humidity control to
avoid excessive energy consumption of traditional air conditioning.
3. Humid and hot coastal areas
Resorts along the Caribbean coast
In the high humidity environment of tourist areas such as Roatán, ERV can effectively recover the cold/heat in the exhaust air and reduce the dehumidification energy consumption,
which is suitable for hotels, diving centers and other places.
Tropical rainforest eco-hotel
Ecological accommodation facilities around the Río Plátano Biosphere (Río Plátano), ERV combined with natural ventilation design can achieve efficient ventilation while protecting the environment.
Key points of technical adaptation
Modular deployment: Unit ERV equipment is preferred to adapt to the current decentralized infrastructure situation in Honduras and reduce the difficulty of installation and maintenance.
Intelligent linkage: Integrate temperature and humidity sensors with building systems, such as energy storage power stations need to be linked to air conditioners to adjust ventilation in real time.
Anti-corrosion design: Coastal projects need to use IP55 or above protection level and salt spray resistant materials to ensure equipment life.
In summary, the applicable scenarios of the ERV system in Honduras are concentrated in high-energy-consuming industrial facilities, tourism infrastructure in humid and hot environments,
and enclosed cultural venues. It can significantly reduce the air-conditioning load through energy recovery, which is in line with the country's development direction of promoting clean energy and sustainable tourism.
