Buildings magazine published a round-up of key trends at AHR Expo this past week, featuring enVerid as an exemplar of “The Demand for Cleaner Air” trend.
The article says:
“enVerid, another company operating in the IAQ space, is targeting air quality with its sorbent ventilation technology, which captures VOCs, CO2 and other gaseous contaminants. The company now offers a HEPA filtration system that combines with the sorbent ventilation system to target not only gases, but also microbials, bioaerosols and particulate matter. This way, the indoor air is cleaned and it’s not necessary to introduce maximum outdoor air all the time, which is sometimes done as a precautionary measure to try to flush out SARS-CoV-2 and other airborne germs.”
“That works when it’s possible, but buildings may not have the capacity to move more air through these systems, and it’s energy-intensive to condition all that outdoor air,” said Christian Weeks, CEO of enVerid. “That led to risk modeling and further analysis. How can we combine ventilation with high levels of filtration to clean the indoor air and not just rely on outdoor air to maintain safe spaces?”
