Is it generally permissible to exhaust an ERV to an insulated, but vented
garage? Was thinking that might be useful for a bit more energy recovery.

Think about this for just a minute. Do you really want to bring air
from a garage into a home?

I'm sure that the heat from the car exhaust will greatly improve the
effeciency of the ERV... : )
I don't think this would even be allowed in the local code. I'm
guessing that the garage is on the same side of your house as the ERV?
And the basement is finished all around so the only way out is into the
garage? I had the same issue--so I just ran insulated ducts out and up
right through the ceiling of the garage and to the outside... it was
only an extra 10ft (plus height).. and there seems to be no issues /
problems whatsoever... just the extra cost of the insulated
ducting--which isn't cheap for non-pros like me...
Peace, Dan

Dan, if you're going to trim a post you're replying to, please learn
how to do it properly. I wasn't asking the question. I was
responding to the OP.
Here's how you should have prepared the post.

pot, kettle, black?
Speaking of usenet etiquette, ya think you can learn how NOT TO TOP
POST ???
I know, I've heard your argument before, ya cant think past MS
outlook..... :-)
"Top-posting makes posts incomprehensible. Firstly: In normal
conversations, one does not answer to something that has not yet been
said. So it is unclear to reply to the top, whilst the original
message is at the bottom. Secondly: In western society a book is
normally read from top to bottom. Top-posting forces one to stray from
this convention: Reading some at the top, skipping to the bottom to
read the question, and going back to the top to continue. This
annoyance increases even more than linear with the number of top-posts
in the message. If someone replies to a thread and you forgot what the
thread was all about, or that thread was incomplete for some reasons,
it will be quite tiresome to rapidly understand what the thread was
all about, due to bad posting and irrelevant text which has not been
removed."
