Tapijulapa, a magical town in Tabaco State, has a hot and humid climate with a long rainy season, and indoor areas are prone to condensation and mold. ERV (Energy Recovery Fresh Air) can simultaneously ensure clean fresh air and energy conservation, making it particularly suitable for scenarios with good airtightness, high population density, or sensitivity to temperature, humidity, and IAQ. The following is a classification description by application, along with key points for compatibility.
Tourism and hotel accommodation (highest priority)
Boutique hotels/resorts/homestays: guest rooms, restaurants, conference/event halls, SPA/swimming pool areas, basements and storage rooms. To stabilize temperature and humidity, reduce condensation and mold, the swimming pool area needs to enhance the interaction between dehumidification and exhaust ventilation. It is recommended to use ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted ERVs, equipped with PM2.5/PM10 filters and humidity control, and separate exhaust for the basement.
Eco-hostel/campsite facilities: reception hall, restaurant, public bath, laundry room and management office. ERV responds to the fresh air demand of fluctuating human flow while reducing the cooling load. Distributed wall ERV is convenient for maintenance and zonal control.
Public and cultural venues
Museum/Site Exhibition Hall/Archive (Tapihulapa and Surrounding Historical Site Facilities) : Exhibition Hall, Storage Room, Restoration Room, Reception Hall. ERV precisely controls temperature, humidity and pollutants to protect cultural relics and documents. The ERV with high-precision temperature and humidity control, equipped with high-efficiency filters and activated carbon, is linked with the constant temperature and humidity air conditioner.
School/Kindergarten/community center: classrooms, library, cafeteria, activity room and medical room. ERV meets the requirements of fresh air volume and IAQ for densely populated areas, reducing the refrigeration load. Decentralized ceiling or wall ERV is convenient for zonal control and maintenance.
Clinic/Elderly care facilities: consultation rooms, wards, rehabilitation areas, pharmacies and laboratories. ERV ensures clean fresh air and cross-infection control, while recovering energy. It needs to be linked with the clean air conditioning system. The filter grade should be upgraded in accordance with medical standards, and the exhaust air should be treated separately.
Commercial and office Spaces
Office buildings/shared offices/shops: Open-plan office areas, meeting rooms, reception halls, shops and dining areas. ERV enhances comfort and work efficiency. The dining area needs to be linked with exhaust hoods for air supply. Centralized ERV or stratified units, equipped with CO₂ and VOC monitoring.
Tourist Service Center/Reception Desk: Reception Hall, Ticket sales area, Gift Shop, Restrooms. ERV responds to the demand for fresh air during peak flow periods, filtering pollen and sand. When using high-volume units, the air intake should avoid dust and exhaust gas points.
Residences and Communities
High-end detached/townhouse: bedrooms, studies, home theaters, basements, garages and sunrooms. ERV addresses the problems of poor ventilation, dampness and unpleasant odors in confined Spaces. Whole-house central ERV or distributed units for bedrooms/studies, enhanced exhaust and dehumidification for basements and garages.
Mid-to-high-rise apartments/collective residences: bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens and bathrooms. ERV enhances IAQ and comfort. The kitchen and bathroom need separate exhaust and be linked with ERV supply air. Partitioned wall/ceiling ERV, convenient for installation and maintenance.
Industrial and special purposes
Food processing/Cocoa/agricultural product storage and processing (agricultural area around Tapihulapa) : Clean workshop, cold storage front hall, packaging area, tasting room. ERV controls humidity and dust, reducing mold and odors. Prevent condensation in low-temperature areas and enhance dehumidification and filtration in high-temperature and high-humidity areas.
Data center/communication computer room: Computer room area, duty room, UPS room. ERV assists in cooling, stabilizes temperature and humidity, and reduces PUE. It is linked with the air conditioning in the computer room, and the air intake is kept away from heat sources and pollution sources.
