Inspection Scope and Equipment Identification

ERV/HRV unit identification matches the asset being verified critical (required)

Record unit tag, manufacturer, model, serial number, and serving area. Confirm the equipment under test is the intended ERV or HRV.

Verification scope defined as sensible and latent recovery effectiveness comparison to AHRI 1060 rated values critical (required)

Confirm the inspection is intended to compare field-measured sensible and latent recovery effectiveness against the applicable AHRI 1060 rating basis and project acceptance criteria.

Yes No N/A

Operating mode at time of test is documented critical (required)

Record whether the unit was in normal occupied mode, economizer bypass, defrost, standby, or another mode that could affect results.

Note (optional)

Test date and time recorded

Document the date and start time of the field verification.

Applicable acceptance criteria documented critical (required)

Record the project-specific pass/fail criteria, including minimum acceptable sensible and latent effectiveness and any required tolerance to AHRI 1060 rated values.

Test Conditions and Instrument Readiness

Test instruments are calibrated and within calibration date critical (required)

Confirm temperature, humidity, airflow, and pressure instruments used for the verification have current calibration status.

Yes No N/A

Outdoor and return air conditions are stable enough for valid comparison critical (required)

Verify conditions are not rapidly fluctuating and are suitable for a meaningful field effectiveness measurement.

Yes No N/A

Measured outdoor air dry-bulb temperature critical (required)

Record the outdoor air dry-bulb temperature at the test point.

Note (optional)

Measured outdoor air relative humidity critical (required)

Record the outdoor air relative humidity at the test point.

Note (optional)

Measured return air dry-bulb temperature critical (required)

Record the return air dry-bulb temperature entering the energy recovery device.

Note (optional)

Measured return air relative humidity critical (required)

Record the return air relative humidity entering the energy recovery device.

Note (optional)

Airflow and System Operating Verification

Supply airflow measured at the test condition critical (required)

Record the supply airflow through the ERV/HRV during the verification.

Note (optional)

Exhaust/return airflow measured at the test condition critical (required)

Record the exhaust or return airflow through the ERV/HRV during the verification.

Note (optional)

Airflow balance is within project tolerance critical (required)

Confirm supply and exhaust airflow are balanced within the project or manufacturer tolerance used for the test method.

Yes No N/A

Bypass dampers and controls are in the intended test position critical (required)

Verify bypass, face-and-bypass, dampers, and controls are positioned so the recovery core is being tested as intended.

Yes No N/A

Filters, core, and heat exchange surfaces are visibly serviceable

Check for excessive fouling, blockage, frost, damage, or other conditions that could invalidate the performance reading.

Yes No N/A

Effectiveness Measurements and Calculations

Measured sensible recovery effectiveness critical (required)

Enter the field-calculated sensible recovery effectiveness for the unit under test.

Note (optional)

Measured latent recovery effectiveness critical (required)

Enter the field-calculated latent recovery effectiveness for the unit under test.

Note (optional)

AHRI 1060 rated sensible effectiveness critical (required)

Record the manufacturer or certified AHRI 1060 rated sensible effectiveness used as the comparison baseline.

Note (optional)

AHRI 1060 rated latent effectiveness critical (required)

Record the manufacturer or certified AHRI 1060 rated latent effectiveness used as the comparison baseline.

Note (optional)

Measured sensible effectiveness meets acceptance criteria critical (required)

Confirm the measured sensible effectiveness meets or exceeds the project acceptance threshold relative to the AHRI 1060 rated basis.

Yes No N/A

Measured latent effectiveness meets acceptance criteria critical (required)

Confirm the measured latent effectiveness meets or exceeds the project acceptance threshold relative to the AHRI 1060 rated basis.

Yes No N/A

Deficiencies, Corrective Actions, and Closeout

Any deficiency or non-conformance identified

Document any condition that prevented valid verification or caused the unit to fall below the acceptance criteria.

Yes No N/A

Corrective action assigned

Describe the corrective action, responsible party, and target completion date for any deficiency found.

Retest required

Indicate whether a follow-up verification is required after corrective action is completed.

Yes No N/A

Inspector signature critical (required)

Signature of the person performing the verification.

Final disposition critical (required)

Record whether the ERV/HRV passed, passed with deficiencies, or failed the verification.
