I will be you using an HRV in my new suite, as Code requires me to provide a minimum amount of air changes per hour, and I'm not installing a separate conventional forced air furnace.
hmmmm - i'm not sure. i know our builder offered it as an option. we didn't go with it mainly due to budget constraints

i know it acts as a heater in the winter and an air conditioner in the summer - and it looks like an air conditioner.

i know we have a heat exchanger on our furnace - in the summer it helps cool the hot incoming air and in the winter it warms the cold incoming air.
