Abstract
This chapter provides an overview on several green tips affiliated with the energy recovery systems. Occupant comfort and health are important in green building design. Sacrificing the quality of the indoor environment in the name of green design is not a viable strategy. To facilitate a thermally comfortable environment that supports the productive performance of the building occupants and to provide operators control over thermal comfort performance and effectiveness of humidification and dehumidification systems in the building, a permanent temperature and humidity monitoring system should be configured and ASHRAE Standard 55 plus approved addenda should comply for thermal comfort, including humidity control, within established ranges for comfort. Distributing energy throughout a building is accomplished through the flow of steam or a hydronic fluid, air, electrons (electricity), and sometimes by a refrigerant. Air and hydronic flows in particular also serve the function of disposition of exhaust air or liquid waste. There are several practical techniques whereby energy from one flow stream can be transferred usefully to another.
