Addressing Ventilation Needs
Supermarkets face unique challenges in maintaining indoor air quality (IAQ) due to the presence of elevated levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These compounds often stem from packaging materials, produce and agricultural chemicals, and cleaning agents. When standard ventilation rates are used, VOCs can accumulate, leading to compromised air quality. enVerid’s Sorbent Ventilation Technology® (SVT®) provides a cost-effective solution to improve IAQ without requiring costly HVAC upgrades or increased outside air ventilation. Additionally, SVT can help reduce the total humidity load in the store, contributing to better overall environmental control and potential energy savings.
Save Money, Energy, and Emissions
Supermarkets can save money on ventilation systems and energy use while improving indoor air quality by filtering harmful VOCs using SVT. This reduces the need for outside air ventilation, allowing for the use of smaller, less expensive HVAC systems that consume less energy and lower operating costs. For retrofit applications, supermarkets can often repurpose existing HVAC equipment by integrating SVT, avoiding the need for expensive system replacements or upgrades.
Optimizing Budgets and Air Quality in Supermarkets
Supermarkets frequently operate under budget constraints, and their HVAC systems may not always meet current building codes. enVerid’s SVT addresses these challenges by efficiently filtering VOCs, improving air quality while reducing the need for extensive outside air ventilation. This results in significant energy and cost savings. For retrofits, SVT can be added to existing systems, allowing supermarkets to work within their current electrical capacity and avoid costly electrical upgrades. In new construction, the use of SVT enables HVAC systems, electrical services, and ductwork to be downsized, further reducing upfront costs while maintaining optimal IAQ. The full range of HLR modules can help reduce VOC levels, ensuring compliance with ventilation standards while improving air quality.
Full Compliance with Building Codes
By using SVT to reduce outside air, supermarkets can fully comply with ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 62.1, Section 6.3 (IAQ Procedure or IAQP) and the International Mechanical Code.
Third Party Validated Safe and Effective
SVT has been independently tested for cleaning efficiency following ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 145.2. Lab results confirm that SVT sorbent filters produce zero byproducts, ensuring a safe and effective solution for air quality improvement.
