5

• What is an Energy Recovery Ventilator
• An ERV is an energy recovery exchanger
• Different from an HRV
• ERV Transfers temperature and humidity
• Uses indoor air to pre-condition outside air
• Required by code in many states
• Saves capital and reduces operating costs
• Great ROI

6

• Types of ER / HR Ventilators
• Fixed Plate Heat sensible only, low cost /
  maintenance
• Plastic, aluminum
• Fixed Plate Energy sensible / latent
  independently
• Plastic, aluminum, cellulose fiber (paper), nano
  polymer membrane
• Enthalpy Wheel good moisture transfer, higher
  maintenance, moving parts

7

• Why Energy Recovery ?
• Improves Indoor Air Quality
• Reduces Co2, Formaldehydes, Allergens, etc.
• Healthier Indoor Environment
• Employees increased productivity, reduced
  absence
• Students better performance, increased
  attendance
• Reduces Humidity and Mold
• Reduced Energy Consumption
• Less work by hvac system
• Reduced tonnage, new construction

• New Age Enthalpy Transfer Technology

9

• So Whats Different ?
• Independent heat and moisture exchange in a
  fixed plate
• Zero flow field leakage (AHRI Certified)
• Great moisture transfer with no moving parts
• Moisture is transferred in a molecular state
• no liquid means no drain required
• no mold / mildew
• inherently anti-microbial
• Simple and low maintenance

• Desalination
• currently testing
• Advanced Air Conditioning
• R D
• First Responders Clothing
• similar to gore tex
• Super Capacitor

• NanoClear
• Desalination how it works

Warm salty water flow (warmed by re-using waste
heat or capturing environmental heat)
H2O molecules only diffuse through the membrane
condensing on a thermal energy recovery surface
Up to 75 capture
