Modelling balanced ventilation with heat recovery

Hi!

I am looking to model a balanced ventilation system with heat recovery, but without linking it to a heating or cooling system. The ventilation system should simply consist of a supply fan, extraction fan and a heat exchanger in between the supply and return ducts to create the heat recovery system (i.e. the heat from the return air is used to pre-heat the supply air).

Looking at the HVAC in the documentation, it seems that all ventilation systems must either be linked to a heating or cooling system, or have no heat recovery at all.

Thanks in advance for your answers!
