Daikin Applied Americas has acquired an exclusive license to Sorbent Ventilation Technology from enVerid Systems.
The transaction gives Daikin Applied the sole right to manufacture, sell, and distribute SVT and related offerings in North America.
Building on the initial integration of SVT into select Daikin Applied products in 2021, Daikin Applied is strengthening its leadership in energy-efficient HVAC solutions by permanently adding the patented air-cleaning technology into its growing portfolio.
With the integration of SVT, Daikin Applied reinforces its long-term commitment to helping customers meet IAQ, energy efficiency and sustainability goals.
SVT enables buildings to maintain healthy indoor air while reducing the cost and carbon emissions of heating, ventilating and air conditioning buildings.
The technology can capture a wide range of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ozone and carbon dioxide (CO2) from indoor air using a highly-engineered, proprietary sorbent media blend housed inside a module that easily integrates with all types of commercial HVAC systems.
SVT can also be used in combination with other building strategies, such as energy recovery and demand control ventilation, to further reduce load and improve performance.
Currently, SVT is the only technology independently tested and validated to meet all contaminant requirements in ASHRAE Standard 62.1.
Daikin Applied COO, Yu Nishiwaki, said with the addition of this patented technology, the company is eliminating the long-standing trade-off between energy performance and air quality.
It's an advancement that supports both decarbonisation and occupant well-being, while making it easier for engineers and building owners to meet IAQ standards with confidence. We are excited to bring this technology to Daikin Applied,” he said.
In the coming months, Daikin Applied will reintroduce the offering within the North American market as part of its expanded portfolio. The service model for SVT will remain unchanged during the transition. Daikin Applied will also continue to support standalone SVT applications in the near term while working towards integrating the technology into its broader product portfolio.
enVerid CEO, Christian Weeks, said SVT has become a trusted technology to help buildings in the commercial, education and government verticals achieve high-performance IAQ with reduced energy loads.
“Daikin Applied is the ideal partner to continue to scale the adoption of this technology and further its impact, thanks to their deep industry reach, product expertise, and commitment to innovation,” Weeks said.
