Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is a major challenge in modern buildings, particularly in hot and humid climates. Conventional air-conditioning systems primarily recirculate indoor air, leading to elevated CO₂ levels, odor accumulation, poor thermal comfort, and increased energy consumption when untreated outdoor air is introduced. This project proposes the development of a Smart Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) System integrated with a fresh-air dehumidification unit and an intelligent control system. A plate heat exchanger recovers sensible heat from exhaust air to pre-cool incoming outdoor air before dehumidification, after which the conditioned fresh air is supplied to the return-air duct of the existing air-conditioning system. The system incorporates temperature, humidity, and CO₂ sensors with a microcontroller for automatic ventilation and fan-speed control. The proposed design aims to improve indoor air quality, reduce HVAC energy consumption, and provide a cost-effective, retrofit-friendly solution for residential and commercial buildings.
