Controller employing feedback data for a multi-strike method of operating an hvac system and monitoring components thereof and an hvac system employing the controller

A computer-usable medium having non-transitory computer readable instructions stored thereon for execution by a processor to perform a method for operating a heating, ventilating and cooling (HVAC) system, comprising:

• receiving feedback data from a first operating unit of said HVAC system;
• determining if said feedback data corresponds to a predetermined condition for said first operating unit;
• and
• operating a second operating unit of said HVAC system at a predetermined operating value corresponding to said predetermined condition and a number of occurrences of predetermined conditions associated with said first operating unit.

An energy recovery ventilator, comprising:

• a filter;
• an enthalpy wheel;
• a fan that moves air through said filter and said enthalpy wheel;
• and
• a controller including:
• a first input terminal configured to receive feedback data corresponding to said air moving through said filter;
• an operation monitor configured to determine if said feedback data corresponds to a filter predetermined condition for said filter;
• and
• a system director configured to operate said fan at a filter predetermined operating value corresponding to said filter predetermined condition and a number of occurrences of filter predetermined conditions associated with said filter.
