We need to be making our buildings more energy efficient so that smaller amounts of renewable electricity are needed and less capacity needs to be built, whitepaper authors argue.

The innovations of the hard-wired EV Premium Series align with the Brilliance Awards’ theme of automation technology.

The potential for energy recovery with wastewater is staggering, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

ERVs are among the fastest growing segments of improved IAQ management in buildings, according to a report from Navigant Research. According to the report, worldwide revenue from ERVs will grow from $1.6 billion in 2014 to $2.8 billion in 2020.

The challenge of prioritizing IAQ and using high ventilation rates is to cost effectively treat the fresh outdoor air for temperature and humidity. For the past 15 years, Drury Southwest has utilized rotary energy recovery wheels manufactured by Airxchange Inc. in new hotel constructions and HVAC system renovations.

Selling end-users just an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) without realizing the options or wheel’s long-term performance benefits cheats a facility out its full energy-saving potential, which is ironically the premise for energy recovery in the first place.
