energy effiency in building
"un sistema de climatización capaz de recuperar el calor del aire que se escapa al exterior para su renovación, de manera que se consigue disminuir las perdidas energéticas que se producirían al expulsar el aire al exterior sin tratarlo."
I'm in a muddle with this sentence.
The building in question is in an area with high temperatures in the summer, and they've already been talking about the fact that it is facing in such a direction as to receive the least heat from the sun.
My reading of the sentence is that it is the heat which is "renewed", but what do they mean, except that the heat is reused, perhaps, taken advantage of to heat sth else?

or 'recovery':
Energy recycling is the energy recovery process of utilizing energy that would normally be wasted, usually by converting it into electricity or thermal energy. Undertaken at manufacturing facilities, power plants, and large institutions such as hospitals and universities, it significantly increases efficiency, thereby reducing energy costs and greenhouse gas pollution simultaneously. The process is noted for its potential to mitigate global warming profitably.[1] This work is usually done in the form of combined heat and power (also called cogeneration) or waste heat recovery.

Note from asker:
| I like recovery but we've already got recuperar earlier in the sentence... |

Rick Larg
: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_recovery_ventilation. Suggest finding a synonym for your earlier "recuperar", Noni.

: to be recycled, or for recycling, but this is a good concept to avoid repeating recovery which is also correct.

: The usual name for these systems is heat recovery, so I'd go for substituting the earlier 'recuperar' as Rick suggests
