Is RenewAire certified by an independent testing agency?
RenewAire products are currently the only residential products to carry certification from both HVI and ARI. The Home Ventilating Institute HVI has tested and certifies the performance of residential units for approximately 10 years. HVI uses the Canadian CSA 439 test protocol. This tests for airflow, temperature and total (heat and humidity) efficiency, cross leakage, and low temperature (-13° F) performance. RenewAire not only passed these tests to achieve certification, but also rates among the highest performing produces in all categories. In January of 2001, certified test results from ARI-1060 were first published. RenewAire uses one of the largest energy-recovery cores in the industry, relative to airflow rate. And our plate spacing is very close (the plates are the dividers that separate the air passages and transfer energy from exhaust air to fresh air). That means we can pack a lot of exchange area into a small volume. Most other manufacturers use smaller elements with larger
