    If you have multiple Evac with no common duct.
    Maybe going with a heat recovery chiller and water coil(or glycol)
    Hard to say but it's a possibility that I think might work.
    All depend on equipment cost VS payback.
    Be sure to respect minimum water volume specified by manufacturer (around 3 to 6 gallon per ton)

    What is the total CFM of the exhaust and total CFM of the intake? How far apart are the exhaust fans and how far away from the intake fan?

    HRV vs ERV depends on your locale, dry desert or "Green grass" climate.

    Flat plate is easier to maintain than a wheel.

    You could potentially use a run around coil on all the exhaust ducts and pipe the water to the intake coil. The control is a bit tricky, I think thermostatic valves could be used to balance each run around (exhaust side). I've never done this before, but am designing a similar system currently and this is my plan.
