Panasonic on September 17 announced its next generation Intelli-Balance™ 100 Energy Recovery Ventilator (ERV) with an occupant-controlled Boost function. With the flip of a switch, Boost increases the fan speed to the highest setting, increasing airflow on demand, and is ideal when large gatherings in the home require greater ventilation. Intelli-Balance 100 ERV is engineered with versatile installation and healthy indoor air quality for single and multi-family dwellings to deliver high-performing, cost-effective balanced ventilation. Intelli-Balance is designed to operate at peak performance in every climate zone, increasing its adaptability for health-conscious homebuilders and homeowners across North America.
Intelli-Balance 100 ERV delivers a balanced ventilation solution that promptly exhausts stale, polluted air from the home and brings in fresh, filtered outdoor air. Balanced ventilation is increasingly used as a highly effective indoor air quality strategy for builders of today’s energy efficient homes and multi-family buildings that require tight building envelopes to meet strict energy efficiency standards and ventilation codes. Balanced ventilation introduces new air into the home and removes old air from the home at the same time, through an “air exchange” process. It serves as the primary ventilation approach among builders and HVAC professionals for high performance, energy-efficient homes.
Boost quickly improves indoor air quality in any room of the home or apartment where air suddenly becomes undesirable or contaminated from sources such as cooking vapors, crowds, smoke, bad odors, and the like. On an everyday basis, its ‘set it and forget it’ operation provides consistent, predictable airflow and also helps reduce virus and bacterial exposure.
Intelli-Balance™ 100 uses twin ECM brushless motors with built-in SmartFlow™ technology to deliver powerful, precision ventilation that moves air.
