The November 25, 2021 issue of Jarn Magazine, the global HVAC & R publication, featured an interview with Michael Schwartz, CEO of Daikin Applied Americas. Schwartz discussed Daikin’s strategy in the Americas, including the company’s partnership with enVerid to integrate Sorbent Ventilation Technology™ into the Rebel Applied unit, saying:
“The pandemic has raised the awareness and importance of IAQ in occupied spaces. We are seeing increased demand for products with higher grades of particulate filtration and greater amounts of outdoor air to help reduce the spread of viruses and contaminants. This includes dedicated outdoor air systems paired with other high-efficiency HVAC units to help offset increased energy consumption. Other companies continue to introduce unique air purification technologies such as ultra violet germicidal irradiation (UVGI), photo-catalytic oxidation, and sorbent ventilation. We are partnering with IAQ industry leaders like enVerid to integrate these emerging technologies into our core products.“
