As I don't have the knowledge to properly determine I left everything up to the engineer. I would have no idea as to being able to work it backwards because there are so many variables from home to home.

you guys do all realize that the freeze up problems with ERVs were solved years ago, Although companies still state this to sell there HRV's.... but I do agree for this situation a HRV is probably good.

I have nothing to say bad to say about HRV but if you have one installed, make sure you replace your furnace filter more frequent than before else you will have a furnace problem like mine where the safety switch failed because of the filter clogged up

shouldent be because of the HRV at all as there is filters in that. if anything the furnace filter should be cleaner as your HRV is supplying your make up air. now if you have your HRV installed what I call the lazy way where it is tied into your furnace ducting then ya it will tax your furnace filter more, but installing this way doesn't make the most efficient use of the HRV system.

Simply for number of air exchanges, how many square feet is you house, how high the ceilings, CFM rating of your HRV?

House is about 1280 sq. ft. not counting the basement. Ceilings are 8ft.
HRV is a 300 DCS and the specs are the last line on this page.
