As a landlocked country in West Africa, Mali's climate (mostly desert in the north, tropical savanna in the central and southern parts) and infrastructure conditions dictate that 

ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilation) applications prioritize high temperatures, dust control, and building airtightness. The following are specific recommended locations and their rationale:

1. Mining-Related Facilities

Mining Operations and Living Camps

Mining operations in Mali require companies to adhere to strict local content requirements (e.g., employment ratios and environmental protection measures). 

Mining sites are often located in arid or semi-arid regions, characterized by large diurnal temperature swings and high levels of dust. ERV systems provide efficient ventilation and heat recovery in these environments, 

reducing air conditioning energy consumption while filtering external dust, meeting mining environmental requirements.

Specific Applications: ERV systems maintain air quality and reduce operating costs in confined spaces such as miners' dormitories and equipment rooms.

2. Equestrian and Livestock Facilities

Stables and Equestrian Clubs

Ventilation is a key requirement in the design of equestrian venues in Mali (e.g., reducing ammonia accumulation and preventing respiratory problems). 

The ERV system optimizes air flow within stables and, combined with natural ventilation, achieves temperature and humidity control, making it particularly suitable for horse health management in tropical savannah climates.

Advantageous Applications: Enclosed training areas at racecourses and equestrian clubs, where a balance between ventilation efficiency and energy consumption is crucial.

3. Architectural Design and Environmental Requirements

New or Renovated Energy-Efficient Buildings

Mali has strict environmental protection requirements for mining companies (such as reducing carbon emissions and recycling resources). 

ERV systems can be used as part of green building technology in offices, hotels, and other locations, meeting energy-saving standards and adapting to high-temperature environments.

Recommended Areas: Commercial and public buildings in the capital, Bamako, or major cities (such as Gao and Sikasso). Where local power supply is unstable, ERV can reduce reliance on mechanical ventilation.

Notes:

Climate Compatibility: ERV systems are preferred in areas with large diurnal temperature swings and high levels of dust and sand (such as the northern desert edge). 

ERV systems can significantly improve energy efficiency.

Maintenance Requirements: Filters require regular cleaning, and a local operations and maintenance team is recommended to ensure long-term stable system operation.
