From the authors...
Energy consumption costs money, uses natural resources, increases air pollution, and contributes to global warming. We all share responsibility for prudent energy use.
The mechanical heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system accounts for a sizable portion of a building's energy costs. Heat gains and losses from various sources must be offset to create a comfortable, healthy indoor environment. Discarded heat from one location may be useful elsewhere in the building, so it's logical (and often cost-effective) to recover energy that might otherwise be wasted ... particularly in a time of rising energy costs and deregulated utility rates.
