Panasonic, a globally renowned provider of ventilation and sustainable indoor living solutions to the building industry, announced the launch of its Intelli-Balance Elite and Elite Plus+ Series of energy recovery ventilators (ERV).
Designed to deliver superior performance throughout the climate spectrum, from extreme cold to hot, humid conditions, these innovative models are engineered to address modern building standards and cater to a diverse range of consumer needs.
Engineered for resilience and efficiency
“Panasonic carries a legacy of delivering trusted, high-performance ventilation solutions, and the Intelli-Balance Elite series is no exception,” said Leon Van Oostende, Group Sales Manager at Panasonic Eco Systems.
He adds, “Engineered for resilience and efficiency, this series offers professionals a reliable, easy-to-install, and code-compliant solution that performs regardless of climate.”
New Intelli-Balance Elite series
The Intelli-Balance Elite series continuously exchanges stale indoor air with fresh, filtered air
Newly designed to deliver year-round performance, the Intelli-Balance Elite series continuously exchanges stale indoor air with fresh, filtered air, recovering energy from the outgoing air to maximize energy efficiency.
Now with the ability to function effectively in temperatures as low as -13 degrees Fahrenheit, the new models achieve an impressive 90 percent sensible recovery efficiency (SRE) rating and reduced cubic feet per minute (CFM) loss at static pressure.
Each unit meets the latest building standards
With compliance in mind, each unit meets the latest building standards, including American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 62.2, while helping to create healthier indoor environments and support long-term energy savings.
The new Intelli-Balance series excels where older ERVs previously struggled, effectively exchanging heat while prioritizing efficiency during dramatic outdoor temperature changes, no matter the conditions.
Promote optimal air circulation and filtration
Ken Nelson, Ventilation Group Sales Manager at Panasonic Eco Systems, said, “The Intelli-Balance Elite series expands our portfolio with advanced, adaptable solutions that promote optimal air circulation and filtration.”
He adds, “This new product series reflects our continued commitment to delivering energy-efficient, reliable ventilation that helps create healthier, more comfortable dwelling spaces.”
Newly engineered for building professionals
The Intelli-Balance Elite series is newly engineered for building professionals seeking a smart investment for single-family homes, multi-family homes, and buildings with code compliance and reliable performance in tight-envelope structures.
Builders can enjoy the following features and benefits such as:
- Flexible Performance Options: Choose from four models with CFM ratings of 110, 120, 140, and 150 cubic feet per minute to suit different project sizes and needs.
- Outstanding Cold Climate Performance: Delivers superior energy recovery even at -13°F, ensuring optimal performance even in harsh conditions all while lowering energy loads and boosting Home Energy Rating System (HERS) scores.
- Exceptional Static Pressure Management: Experience minimal CFM loss under static pressure. This means better airflow and energy efficiency leading to satisfied clients and fewer callbacks.
- Remarkable Water Vapor Rejection: In hot, humid climates Panasonic’s patented Cross-Flow membrane core can reduce inbound moisture loads by as much as 40 percent depending on airflow.
- Versatile Installation Options: Simplify workflows with one SKU for both regular and mirror installations. Save time and reduce inventory complexity with flexible solutions.
- Advanced Connectivity: Offer the modern convenience of remote operation with optional Wi-Fi controller and enhance the user experience.
- Code-Ready Compliance: Advance modern ASHRAE Standard 62.2 while addressing ventilation and moisture management concerns and providing homeowners with filter replacement or system-maintenance notifications.
- Energy-Smart Homes: Boost building value with high SRE ratings, recovering significant conditioned air to lower HVAC usage and deliver long-term energy savings.
