Buildings are an integral part of Canadian society and economy as Canadians spend most of their time indoors. Buildings and their HVAC (heating, ventilating and air-conditioning) systems consume about 40% and 25% of the primary energy consumption in Canada, respectively. Thus buildings that provide Canadians with a comfortable and healthy place to work and live are essential for a healthy, prosperous and sustainable nation. Recent advances in energy-efficiency have reduced the amount of energy required to heat or cool buildings. Major advances have been achieved in improved: (1) building envelope performance (e.g., better windows and insulation) and (2) HVAC system efficiency. As buildings and their HVAC systems have advanced, providing outdoor ventilation air to maintain high indoor air quality has become a larger portion of the total energy cost of a building. Therefore, the need for energy recovery for ventilation air (ERV) has increased and the ERV market has grown. Heat and energy wheels have the lion's share of the $1 billion North American ERV market. The aim of this NSERC Engage grant is to conduct research that could lead to the very first application of transient testing of energy wheels in a production facility in the world. Transient testing is a relatively new method in the research literature that has not been exploited in industry despite the advantages of reduced costs and testing time. This novel transient testing will be conducted over a 6 month period at the University of Saskatchewan to characterize the matrix of heat and energy wheels manufactured by Engineered Air (EngA), estimate effectiveness and compare with standard steady-state effectiveness data. It is anticipated that the Engage project may lead EngA to adopt a tailored-version of the transient test method for quality control in their manufacturing plant which would improve quality control and enhance EngA's competitive advantage in this important field of energy recovery in HVAC systems.

建筑物是加拿大社会和经济的一个组成部分，因为加拿大人大部分时间都在室内度过。 建筑物及其HVAC（加热，通风和空调）系统消耗约40%和25%的 加拿大的主要能源消耗。因此，为加拿大人提供 舒适和健康的工作和生活场所是一个健康、繁荣和可持续发展的国家所必不可少的。 最近在能源效率方面的进步减少了建筑物加热或冷却所需的能源。 已经在改进的以下方面取得了主要进展：（1）建筑物围护结构性能（例如，更好的窗户， （2）空调系统效率。随着建筑物及其HVAC系统的发展， 保持室内空气质量的室外通风已成为总能源成本的较大部分 一栋楼因此，对于通风空气（ERV）的能量回收的需求已经增加， 市场已经增长。热能和能源车轮在10亿美元的北美ERV市场中占有最大份额。 这个NSERC参与补助金的目的是进行研究，可能导致第一次应用 在世界各地的生产设施中进行能量轮的瞬态测试。瞬态测试是一个相对较新的 研究文献中的方法，尽管具有降低成本的优点，但尚未在工业中使用 测试时间。这项新的瞬态测试将在密歇根大学进行6个月的时间。 萨斯喀彻温省的特点矩阵的热和能源车轮制造的工程空气（EngA）， 估计有效性并与标准稳态有效性数据进行比较。预计该 Engage项目可能会导致EngA采用定制版本的瞬态测试方法进行质量控制， 他们的生产工厂，这将改善质量控制，并提高英甲的竞争优势， 这是暖通空调系统中能量回收的重要领域。
