Building heat recovery and Energy in buildings

Energy flows from energy in buildings to building heat recovery; energy flows from building heat recovery to energy in buildings; their prices have moved together.

Building heat recovery (energy) and Energy in buildings (energy): 3 relationships.

How they are linked

1. Energy flow

Physical flow · Direct · Energy in buildings → Building heat recovery

Ventilation and drain heat recovery reuse household heat.

2. Energy flow

Physical flow · 100% of flow · Building heat recovery → Energy in buildings

Recovered heat cuts building heating demand.

• 100% of Building heat recovery's energy goes this way

3. Price link: energy saved

Cost and price · Strong · Both ways

Recovery units cut heating, cooling and hot water bills, so household power and gas prices set their value. Yearly moves correlate at 0.70 with the electricity proxy, mostly a shared US inflation trend.

• 0.14 monthly change correlation
• 0.70 12-month change correlation
