A Standard for Energy Efficient, Green Building Design

The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED™) Green Building Rating System™, administered by the U.S. Green Building Council, has become the recognized standard for specifying green building design. While energy efficiency is a major criterion, LEED™ is more than just an energy program. It awards points for many other aspects of green building design, such as project siting and transportation, water efficiency, the use of recycled materials, and indoor environmental quality. LEED™ programs are available for New Construction (NC), Existing Buildings (EB), Commercial Interiors (CI) and for Homes (H).

Selecting and specifying RenewAire Energy Recovery Ventilators as a part of an HVAC design can contribute to achieving a significant number of LEED™ credits for your NC, EB, CI or H projects.

RenewAire ERVs can contribute a significant number of credits in two of five LEED™ categories: "Indoor Environmental Quality" and "Energy and Atmosphere" with additional potential contribution in the "Innovation in Design" category.

RenewAire Factory - LEED™ Silver Certified

RenewAire's mission since beginning ERV production in 1983 has been to provide the best energy efficient ventilation systems for homes and commercial applications. With growing sales, in 2005 RenewAire needed to more than double its production and office space and not surprisingly, the new facility is LEED™ Silver Certified. The RenewAire project is unique in that it took an existing metal building shell and on a tight budget developed a very functional factory with attractive, modern corporate offices. Many common and innovative "green building" practices are put to use. Of course, the building is a showcase and "test bed" with seven fully operational RenewAire ERVs.
