Energy Recovery Ventilation and the ConsERV™ Difference

Most buildings are required by codes to provide minimum amounts of fresh air to protect the health of occupants. In most building designs, stale air is exhausted and a similar amount of fresh air is drawn into the building. While ensuring good indoor air quality, this ventilation process requires additional ongoing energy cost and a larger HVAC plant to condition the incoming fresh air.

Energy Recovery Ventilation (“ERV”) uses an air-to-air heat exchanger to recover energy from the exhaust air stream and use it to precondition the incoming fresh air before it enters the building HVAC system. The result is lower ongoing energy cost and reduced capital expenditures for HVAC capacity.

Dais Analytic’s ConsERV™ products take this idea to new levels of performance and energy savings. Using advanced polymers originally developed for cutting-edge fuel cell technology, ConsERV™ for the first time provides high levels of both heat and moisture transfer in a simple, fixed plate “solid-state” heat exchanger. The result is unprecedented levels of energy recovery performance and savings in a reliable, low maintenance product.
