According to the search results and the analysis of relevant technical characteristics, the following places in Costa Rica are particularly suitable for the application of 

ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilation) systems due to climate, space type and environmental protection requirements:

1. Hotels and Resorts

Costa Rica's high-end resort hotels such as El MANGROOVE, Four Seasons Resort (Papagayo Peninsula), and Nayara Springs (Arenal Volcano Rainforest Area) generally adopt open designs and 

rely on natural landscapes. The ERV system can recover the energy (temperature and humidity) of air conditioning exhaust while maintaining indoor air quality, significantly reducing the 

dehumidification energy consumption in tropical high humidity environments, which is in line with its sustainable operation concept.

2. Airports and Transportation Hubs

Juan Santamaria International Airport has strict requirements on indoor environmental stability due to high humidity and frequent rainfall caused by tropical climate. The ERV system can 

efficiently handle the fresh air load of large spaces, and cooperate with automated monitoring equipment (such as runway visual range system) to ensure the balance between ventilation and 

energy saving, and alleviate the equipment pressure caused by the heat and humidity in the rainy season.

3. Ecological reserves and visitor centers

Visitor centers of national parks such as the Monteverde Cloud Forest need to balance ecological protection and visitor comfort. The ERV system can reduce the noise interference of air conditioners to 

wild animals and reduce overall energy consumption through energy recovery, which is in line with Colombia's carbon neutrality goals and ecotourism policies.

4. Educational institutions and conference centers

Colleges and scientific research facilities (such as those participating in Latin American digital education projects) are usually densely populated and have high heat generation equipment. 

ERV can provide stable fresh air in dense spaces (such as classrooms and laboratories), recover exhaust energy to reduce cooling loads, and improve environmental comfort.

5. Sustainable housing and community projects

Green buildings such as the Rainforest House are located in the high temperature and high humidity Guanacaste jungle area. The ERV system, combined with passive design 

(such as shading and natural ventilation), can reduce reliance on mechanical refrigeration while controlling indoor humidity, preventing mildew, and achieving energy self-consistency in tropical residences.

Implementation suggestions

Coastal areas: choose ERV equipment with anti-salt shells and regularly maintain the filter to prevent sea breeze particles from clogging;

Rainy season high humidity period: enable humidity priority mode to avoid excessive dehumidification and energy waste;

Mountain and rainforest areas: combine natural ventilation design (such as high-level exhaust vents) to reduce system load.

The Costa Rican government has promoted building energy conservation through the National Economic Restructuring Plan. In the future, ERV systems have significant potential in 

carbon-neutral building renovation.
