The applicability of the ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilation) system in the United States mainly depends on the climate characteristics. It can effectively balance 

the temperature and humidity differences between indoors and outdoors. The following are recommended applicable areas and specific application scenarios based on climate characteristics:

1. Dry inland areas (moisture needs to be moisturized)

Applicable areas: Arizona (such as Tucson), New Mexico, southern Nevada

Climate characteristics: annual precipitation is less than 30cm (such as only 30.5cm in Arizona), the air is dry, and indoor dehydration is easy in winter.

ERV advantages: Recycle moisture in exhaust air, replenish fresh air humidity, avoid humidifier energy consumption, and maintain indoor comfort.

2. High temperature and high humidity areas (moisture-proof needs to be prevented)

Applicable areas: Florida, southern Texas (such as Houston), Louisiana

Climate characteristics: hot and humid in summer (average humidity>70%), annual precipitation can reach 125cm, and mold is easy to grow.

ERV advantages: Exhaust excess moisture in fresh air, reduce the burden of air conditioning dehumidification, and reduce energy consumption by about 15-30%

3. Mild coastal areas (two-way adjustment)

Applicable areas: California coast (Los Angeles, San Diego), South Carolina (Greenville)

Climate characteristics: annual average temperature 17-30℃, annual precipitation <51cm, small temperature difference between day and night but obvious humidity fluctuation.

ERV advantages: balancing temperature and humidity at the same time, pre-cooling and dehumidification in summer, pre-heating and moisturizing in winter, adapting to stable ventilation needs.

Tropical stable climate zone (applicable all year round)

Applicable areas: Hawaiian Islands (such as Honolulu, Maui)

Climate characteristics: -℃ all year round, balanced humidity, no extreme dryness or humidity problems.

ERV advantages: low energy consumption to maintain ventilation efficiency, avoid excessive dehumidification/humidification, and protect wooden furniture structure.

Special application scenarios

Commercial buildings: hospitals and office buildings (such as Charlotte, North Carolina) require constant temperature and humidity, and ERV combined with the Internet of Things 

(IoT) can achieve real-time monitoring].

Energy-saving housing: New apartments in California and New York generally integrate ERVs, which are equipped with ultraviolet purification systems to reduce air conditioning energy consumption.

Selection recommendations

Avoid scenarios: Extremely cold areas (such as Alaska) may cause pipes to freeze due to moisture retained by ERVs. It is recommended to use HRV (heat recovery ventilation) instead.

Installation points: Pipe systems (ducted ERVs) are preferred. Pipeless models are only suitable for small spaces and have low efficiency].

In summary, ERV performs best in two-way regulation of moisture retention in arid areas, mildew prevention in humid areas, and temperate climates. The specific choice needs to be combined with 

local humidity changes and building types.
