Guyana, a country with a tropical rainforest climate (average annual temperature 24-32°C, annual rainfall 1500-2000 mm), faces unique requirements for 

ventilation system design due to its hot and humid environment. Considering the technical characteristics of ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilation) systems 

and local climatic conditions, the following locations are suitable for its application:

I. Application Scenarios

High-Rise Residential and Commercial Buildings

High-density buildings in cities like Georgetown, Guyana's capital, require a balance between ventilation and energy consumption. ERV systems can recover energy 

(sensible and latent heat) from exhaust air, reducing air conditioning loads.

Incorporating natural ventilation designs (such as high- and low-level window cross-ventilation) is recommended to reduce reliance on mechanical ventilation.

Medical and Elderly Care Facilities

Hospital wards and nursing homes require stable air quality. ERV systems can filter PM2.5 (efficiency ≥70%) and control humidity, meeting the healthy environment requirements of the JGJ/T 440-2018 standard.

Industrial and Energy Projects

Energy projects operated by Chinese companies in Guyana (such as those run by CNOOC and Zijin Mining) must cope with high temperatures and high humidity. 

ERV systems can ensure ventilation between equipment and reduce energy consumption.

II. Key Technical Adaptation Points

Moisture-Proof Design: Select mildew-resistant filter media and heat recovery cores to prevent equipment corrosion caused by the hot and humid climate.

Duct Layout: Short, straight ducts (minimizing elbows) are preferred. Wall openings must be waterproofed and have a slope of 0.01-0.02°.

Maintenance Cycle: In heavily polluted areas, it is recommended to replace coarse filters every three months and clean heat exchange cores every two years.

III. Additional Recommendations

Residential areas along the Demerara River can combine ERV with natural ventilation (such as patios) to utilize river breezes to enhance ventilation efficiency.

Tourist facilities (such as the Pandama Retreat Winery) that require a constant temperature and humidity environment can choose individual ERV systems to achieve both energy efficiency and comfort.
