As a core city in Silicon Valley, San Jose's industrial and technology parks have a significant demand for high-efficiencyventilation systems (such as ERVs).
The following is an analysis of suitable application scenarios and technology compatibility:
1. Technology Parks and Data Centers
Silicon Valley Corporate Headquarters: Cisco, eBay, and other companies require stable temperature control and air circulation. ERV systems balance energy consumption and air quality.
HE Data Center: The data center on Market Street utilizes BGP intelligent routing and a dual-server hot standby system. ERV optimizes equipment heat dissipation and humidity control at fiber optic backbone nodes.
2. Commercial and Public Buildings
San Jose International Airport: The terminal building at this medium-sized commercial airport needs to cope with fluctuating passenger traffic. ERVs improve the energy efficiency of the terminal area,
particularly suited to the low-cost operations of budget airlines.
The Tech Museum of Innovation: As a cultural landmark in Silicon Valley, its exhibition space must balance visitor comfort and equipment protection. Heat recovery technology can reduce air conditioning loads.
3. Industrial and R&D Facilities
Industrially Concentrated Areas: Manufacturing and R&D centers in San Jose's South Bay have high ventilation requirements. ERV systems can be integrated with natural ventilation to adapt to the temperature and
humidity fluctuations of the Mediterranean climate.
Technical Adaptation Recommendations
Climate Adaptation: The Mediterranean climate (dry summers and mild winters) is well-suited to the sensible heat recovery function of ERVs, reducing humidification energy consumption.
Building Type: Low-density campuses (such as Silicon Valley companies) should adopt zoned ventilation, while high-traffic areas (such as airports) require enhanced instantaneous air exchange.
All of the above scenarios require design considerations based on specific building parameters and local regulations. It is recommended that data centers and technology parks be prioritized for retrofit potential.
