Based on Alabama's climate characteristics and building ventilation needs, the following areas are suitable for installing ERV (Energy Recovery Ventilation) systems:

Climate Adaptability Analysis

Alabama has a subtropical humid climate with hot, humid summers (temperatures often exceeding 30°C) and mild winters, although coastal areas experience higher humidity. 

ERV systems effectively balance ventilation and energy consumption, offering significant advantages in the following scenarios:

High Humidity Areas: Such as coastal cities (Mobile, Gulf Coast), ERVs can expel humid air and recover energy, preventing indoor condensation.

Dense Residential Areas: Newly built apartments in cities like Hoover can achieve continuous ventilation through ERVs, reducing air conditioning load.

Medical/Educational Institutions: Places requiring stable ventilation (such as hospitals and schools), ERVs can filter pollutants and maintain temperature and humidity.

Recommended Installation Scenarios

Residential: Basements or well-sealed apartments (such as newly renovated homes in Hoover).

Commercial Buildings: Office spaces or hotels requiring long-term ventilation.

Public Facilities: Schools, hospitals, and other places with high air quality requirements.

Important Notes:

Frequent heavy rain: Enhanced system moisture protection design is necessary in summer.

Energy Efficiency: Combining natural ventilation strategies can further reduce energy consumption.
