Earning LEED and WELL points, Saving Energy

The single largest source of wasted energy in buildings results from ventilation requirements. There’s a better way: enVerid’s award-winning HVAC Load Reduction® (HLR) modules use Sorbent Ventilation Technology® to clean the air in buildings so that indoor air can be safely recirculated. This allows outside air requirements to be reduced by up to 80% using ASHRAE’s performance-based Indoor Air Quality Procedure (IAQP), which is part of Standard 62.1, the Standard for Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality. Including HLR modules on your project also helps you earn a significant number of LEED and WELL points.

Generate up to 9 LEED credits with HLR technology

Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design, or LEED, is the U.S. Green Building Council’s globally recognized “green” building certification program that provides a framework to develop healthy, efficient, and sustainable buildings. 

Implementing HLR® technology can help buildings earn LEED points in the Energy & Atmosphere (EA), Indoor Environmental Quality (EQ), and Innovation (IN) credit areas. New construction and existing building  projects can use HLR technology to earn up to 9 LEED points. Learn more here.

In 2019, enVerid and TLC Engineering announced the first ever LEED Gold Certification using the new indoor air quality pilot credit from the U.S. Green Building Council. Southwest Florida Community Foundation (SWFCF) earned nine LEED points by deploying enVerid’s HLR modules.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

Earn up to 2 WELL preconditions and 3 credits

The WELL Building Standard, or WELL, is the International WELL Building Institute’s (IWBI) globally recognized building certification program that provides a framework to advance the health and well-being of building occupants. 

Implementing Sorbent Ventilation Technology can help buildings earn up to 2 preconditions, 3 optimization points and 3 points under an Alternative Adherence Path in the WELL Air concept category. Click here for more information.

WELL V2 Preconditions Met with enVerid SVT

Earn CE hours for your LEED & WELL certifications

Our free online course, Improve IAQ, Reduce Carbon Emissions, and Save Energy Through Performance-Based Ventilation Design, will teach you what you need to know about the ASHRAE 62.1 Indoor Air Quality Procedure, including how IAQP used with air cleaning can help achieve LEED® v4 BD+C: New Construction and O+M: Existing Buildings and WELL v2™ certification. You can earn 1.5 hours (including HSW) from AIA, GBCI, IWBI, ASHRAE, and many other organizations. Learn more here.

In addition, our free 1.75 hour online course How to Achieve Sustainable Indoor Air Quality: A Roadmap to Simultaneously Meet Indoor Air Quality, Building Decarbonization, and Resiliency Goals will help you understand how to deliver healthy indoor air energy efficiently. A must for net zero buildings and for building electrification, this layered systems approach is more nuanced and far more efficient than simply increasing ventilation. This course also qualifies for CE credits from AIA, GBCI, IWBI, ASHRAE and others. Learn more here.

Healthy Buildings by Joseph G. Allen and John D. Macomber

Recommended by Healthy Buildings and IAQ Experts

Healthy Buildings by Joseph G. Allen, Director of the Healthy Buildings program at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health and John D. Macomber of Harvard Business School has this to say about enVerid’s technology (pg. 227-228):

Then there are companies working on better ways to clean the air. …like enVerid, which can install a system within your existing ductwork to capture and purge VOCs, CO2, and other chemicals.”

 

“We chose to single out these particular companies because we’ve gotten to know them well. We’ve met with dozens of executives from different organizations, and there is a reason these companies show up in our book: we think they are doing it right, or are on the path to doing it right.”

TLC-Engineering-Solutions
Carmine Rende Jr. PE, CEM, LEED AP, CSDPE, CxA Associate / Senior Project Engineer

TLC Engineering Solutions, Inc.

“By specifying HLR modules, we are reducing the first cost capital expenditures for our client, while simultaneously giving them a more energy efficient HVAC solution. The extra LEED points, the reduced intake of outside air pollution, and the intelligent IAQ management are extra benefits that essentially come for free.”
University of Miami
Ron Bogue, VP for Facilities and Services

University of Miami

“University of Miami is committed to the environment, energy efficiency, and providing a healthy environment for our faculty and students. We have used enVerid’s HLR technology to achieve a 36% savings in total HVAC energy consumption and a 41% peak capacity decrease. To achieve this while improving indoor air quality demonstrates this is truly disruptive technology for the HVAC industry.”

Head of Sustainability

Technology Company

“At our headquarters, where we employ more than 2,000 people, we have installed an innovative system that uses 50% less electricity than standard air conditioners by treating air contaminants rather than replacing air in the building. Following a successful pilot, we plan to use this system in other locations where possible.”
TLC-Engineering-Solutions
Alyssa Faircloth, LEED Green Associate, CPB, Energy Service Engineer

TLC Engineering Solutions, Inc.

“I have been extremely impressed with the energy efficiency impact of HLR technology. I plan to recommend this technology for all HVAC designs to cost effectively achieve additional LEED points.”

HVAC Manager

Technology Company

“We have taken significant steps to advance our approach to sustainability, which includes deployment of enVerid’s HLR technology. Our first deployment was in July 2012. The results were so remarkable that we expanded our coverage in May 2014 to include six additional HLR modules. Since inception, we have seen a 29% decrease in energy consumption.”
