Top Energy Saving in Dept of Energy Study

enVerid Systems, Inc. announced today that its HVAC Load Reduction® (HLR®) technology has been listed as one of the top three priorities for commercial HVAC energy efficiency in a study commissioned by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) – providing potential energy savings of 250,000 billion BTU per year in the US.

The study, which can be found here, evaluated over 300 technologies and determined a final set of 18 high priority technologies.

“To be selected in such a broad and in-depth study is a great validation of HLR technology,” said Dr. Udi Meirav, CEO and founder, enVerid Systems, Inc. “We are very proud of the energy savings and indoor air quality we are providing to our rapidly-growing customer base, which now includes some of the largest, most-admired companies in the world.”

The high ranking was due to a combination of superior energy saving potential and peak HVAC load reduction, as well as being suitable for both new buildings and retrofits. HLR technology was the only solution in the study that also improves indoor air quality (IAQ), which the report cited as more important than energy savings for building occupants.

HVAC is by far the single largest use of energy in commercial buildings. Roughly 30-50% of this energy is used to heat or cool outside air that is continuously flowing into the building to dilute unhealthy indoor air pollutants – usually replacing all the air inside a building every one to two hours. Using HLR technology, buildings can clean indoor air of these contaminants and thereby use less outside air for ventilation. As a result, customers typically achieve 20-30% annual energy savings, and can use lower-capacity, less-expensive HVAC equipment – enabling immediate payback on HLR modules.

enVerid HLR modules reduce the intake of outdoor air pollution and provide more control over indoor air quality with continuous monitoring of multiple IAQ parameters on the enVerid Cloud. IAQ has been directly linked by numerous studies to employee productivity and decision-making, not to mention health. Implementing the technology along with an indoor air quality assessment can earn as many as 17 LEED points for buildings, which is over 40 percent of the points required to receive LEED certification from the USGBC.

HLR technology, which enVerid first deployed in 2012, is listed as “Ventilation Reduction through Advanced Filtration” in the DOE report’s executive summary. enVerid’s HLR technology is explained in detail on pages 42 – 46.

About enVerid Systems, Inc.
enVerid Systems, Inc. is committed to improving energy efficiency and indoor air quality in buildings worldwide through its innovative HVAC Load Reduction® (HLR®) solutions. Awarded the prestigious 2016 R&D 100 Award, enVerid is the only solution that helps commercial, education and government buildings remove carbon dioxide (CO2), aldehydes, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter (PM2.5) from indoor air, reducing the outside air intake required for ventilation. enVerid’s HLR technology is ASHRAE-compliant and has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. General Services Administration’s Green Proving Ground Program, and the U.S. Green Building Council.
