Abstract
Described herein is a ventilation system for a building that includes an air source heat pump and an exhaust plenum system. The air source heat pump may include a compressor, a condenser, a reversing valve, and an evaporator. The exhaust plenum system is configured to mix building infrastructure exhaust airflow with an ambient airflow to provide an exhaust-ambient airflow mixture to the air source heat pump. The use of the exhaust-ambient airflow mixture improves the efficiency of the air source heat pump.
