HARTFORD, Wis., June 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Broan, a Nortek
Company (Nasdaq: NTK), introduces the future of fresh air. Energy
efficiency continues to be a major trend in home building and is a
key component in making home building a greener industry. While
modern-day homes are built to save energy through tight
construction, that same tight construction can negatively affect
indoor ventilation, sealing in unwanted indoor air pollutants and
chemicals. Now, more than ever, balanced ventilation systems with
heat and energy recovery are critical to both maintaining a healthy
home and keeping homeowners feeling comfortable. The new Broan HE
Series HRV and ERV models combine the best performance with the
best energy efficiency to provide fresher, purer indoor air at a
lower overall cost.
Thanks to its high-efficiency electronically commutated motors
(ECM) and exclusive blower design, the new Broan HE Series consumes
up to 60% less power than any other heat recovery
ventilator (HRV) or energy recovery ventilator (ERV) certified
by Energy Star®.* With a CFM/Watt ratio ranging between
2.9 and 3.6, the four new models of the HE Series are rated up to
three times beyond the current CFM/Watt Energy Star requirements.**
Moreover, the HE Series' high-efficiency recovery cores are
uniquely designed for all climatic conditions in North America.
"Whole-home ventilation systems are the centerpiece of today's
energy-efficient homes," said Mathieu
Lebel, Broan Global Marketing Manager. "Saving energy is
crucial, and tight home construction needs proper ventilation to
remove excess moisture and indoor pollutants. Broan provides
homeowners with energy-efficient solutions that improve indoor air
quality and home comfort."
To ensure superior indoor air quality, the Broan HE Series
continuously supplies fresh air to the home while exhausting stale
air and pollutants that can contribute to poor air quality. This
fresh air is filtered using a MERV 6 grade filter to ensure a
healthier indoor environment. For households with family members
suffering from allergies, asthma or other respiratory problems, an
optional HEPA filter that removes 99.97% of all dust and particles
at .3 microns is also offered.
The HE Series features new models: two HRVs and two ERVs. New
models offer a cubic feet per minute (CFM) range from 210 to 250 at
0.4 in. w.g. The new Broan HE Series will be available in
June 2016.
