Does HOT2000 assume the HRV fan runs continuously?

0

Prior to v8.600 the HRV fan ran continuously. The simulation of the HRV fan in v8.600 is more realistic – it assumes that the fan runs as required, during the heating season, to ensure the house receives a total ventilation rate of 0.30 natural air changes per hour (infiltration+dryer exhaust+ventilation fans). The HRV does not run outside of the heating season (defined as Sep. to Mar for locations with at least 3500 degree days and Oct. to Feb. for all other locations). The HRV simulation also ensures that the ventilation flow rate is at least 25 L/sec. and not greater than 100 litres/sec.
