yes the owner concern about the condominium maintenance...
Thanks Waramanga, since the toilet exhaust fan is not continuously we cant use ERV. Also the 100% outside air unit from Mitsubishi is 1200 cfm, therefore I cant use it.
I'm thinking of using a small electric duct heater with inline fan to maintain the duct heater velocity in each fresh air...

Thanks for your answer.
The fresh air from the ERV is connected to the return duct to each air handler. 5 floors + basement+ cellar. it's 1 family house 6 ppls (residential building). the exhaust fan works with light its not constantly. I believe its a control issue or when the ERV will work...
Thanks Herrkaleun, yes all bathrooms on the same exhaust fan 700 cfm exhaust and 300 cfm fresh air to air handler.
the ERV is not working yet. I believe its in the bypass mode.
its a new construction and well insulated.
the problem occur when the thermostat set for 71 F.
Could it be a control...
Thank you Drazen. the project located in NYC. the floor area is 5600 SF. i'm using 12 ACH.
1- The heated supply air would be from One rooftop gas fired make up air with VFD and co2 sensor
2- The exhaust thru 3 sidewall propeller fan.
