Greenheck Debuts New Energy Recovery Ventilator

Greenheck recently released a new energy recovery ventilator, the ERVi, designed for small indoor spaces like basements and mechanical rooms, according to a news release. The hardware can fit through a 30-inch door and be mounted on the ceiling for retrofit and decarbonization projects. The unit provides both right-hand and left-hand access, as well as the ability to discharge at either end.

The unit comes in two models. “The ERVi-10 discharges 375–1,500 cfm with a maximum height of 18 inches, while the ERVi-20 discharges 750–2,500 cfm with a maximum height of 23 inches,” the news release reports.

Among the ERVi’s optional features are factory-installed, low-leakage dampers; MERV-13 filters, frost and economizer controls, and downstream heating and cooling controls. Every unit contains a 3-inch polymer enthalpy wheel, electric motor, factory controls with a DDC microprocessor, and a direct drive fan.

More information is available on the Greenheck website.

When a school is designed with genuine empathy—for the full range of ways students think, sense, and engage with the world—it becomes more than a building. It becomes a catalyst for growth, confidence, and belonging. That is the animating idea behind neurodiverse design, and it is one that is transforming how more architects and designers are thinking about school design.
