Energy Performance of Building Directive - EPBDB
EPBD limit the amount of electrical/gas power to be used to provide heating or cooling in commercial buildings. Therefore the building designer needs to select energy efficient heating/cooling equipment, and to minimise energy efficient heating/cooling equipment, and to minimise energy loses through ventilation systems.
The SAF recovers heat energy which would otherwise be exhausted to atmosphere, and uses this energy to warm the air entering the building. The reverse happens in warmer climates, where the exhausted cool air is used to partially cool the incoming air.
