What we know about indoor environments
- Indoor air can be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air. Learn More.
- Low outdoor air ventilation rates result in health risks to building occupants
- A primary cause of indoor moisture problems is moisture laden outdoor air entering the building
- Conditioning the outdoor air can represent 40% of an HVAC system’s capacity!
What We Know About Building Ventilation
- Higher outdoor air rates not only improve occupant health, but also increase productivity – more is better!
- Outdoor air reduces indoor air pollution improving indoor air quality (IAQ)
- Energy Recovery Wheels allow users to increase ventilation rates while minimizing the energy required conditioning that air!
How Energy Recovery Wheels Work
Airxchange® energy recovery wheels rotate between the incoming outdoor airstream and the building exhaust airstream. As the wheel rotates, it transfers a percentage of the heat and moisture differential from one airstream to the other. Consequently, the outdoor air is ‘pre-conditioned’ significantly reducing the capacity and energy needed from the mechanical HVAC system.
Why Airxchange® Energy Recovery Wheels
- Patented wheel technology that reduces energy requirements for conditioning outdoor air by 70%
- Removal of moisture from outdoor air in the summer and addition of moisture in the winter to help keep buildings in the ideal humidity range
- Energy recovery ventilation provides performance efficiencies unmatched by any other technology in the industry
- All the health and productivity benefits of outdoor air ventilation without the drawbacks of excessive energy consumption and moisture problems
