I believe that if you use the NERL BCL Ideal Air Loads Options measure you can include heat recovery. (if it fails you can try the E+ measure I wrote that works fine for me) Then if you use OS report measure you will have the total annual heat demand as output in the report.

Edit after looking at the model:

I can't confirm your observations , I was able to run your model with Ideal Air Load System option measure and got the following results:

Without ERV:

And with ERV:

I used LaPaz for weather Data and add 1 air change per hour to your's Design Specification Outdoor Object in order to emphasize the ERV effect.

I believe that you should be able to replicate my observation if you make sure you are using proper weather data.
