BPE Energy Recovery Ventilators
22.5 Degrees!
That is the amount of pre-cooling done to the 88 degree outdoor air by just exhausting the room temperature air! The cost for this amazing energy recovery is a mere 38 watts!! LESS then running a 40 watt light bulb for 110 Cubic Feet per Minute of Fresh Air
This moisture in the exhaust air can be used for IDEC (Indirect Evaporative Cooling) while providing over 34% latent moisture removal from the incoming fresh air.Air may be free, but heating or cooling outdoor air when it is is freezing or sweltering is very expensive.
The Answer is our Patented Energy Recovery Systems!
By using our new patented technologies, BPE is able to precondition fresh outdoor air to room temperature for your building, school, office, or home, substantially reduce your energy bill, and improve indoor air quality, all with reliable equipment that needs no maintenance typically for 15 years or more.
With a greater than 90% efficiency our products make the air virtually free again no matter what the temperature and improve indoor air quality while helping the environment!
The three temperature read outs shows what a BPE X-Type Heat exchanger will do when exhausting 71.4 °F air and pre-treating 28.0 °F outside air in a single pass to 67.8 °F incoming fresh air on a cold winter day!
Cold Fresh Outdoor Air = 28.0 °F
Fresh Outdoor Air = 67.8 °F
Room Air to be exhausted =71.4 °F
The high efficiency BPE X-Type direct counter flow heat exchanger will heat the 28.0 °F outside winter air to 67.8 °F, only using the heat from the exhausting 71.4 °F room air! In this example only two high efficiency inline fans (19 watts of electric power) or a total of 38 watts (less than a 40 watt lightbulb) and our very efficient heat exchanger were used to precondition the outdoor air. This is a new, groundbreaking patented technology that can be effective used to reduce heating and cooling bills and greatly improve indoor air quality.
Just like leaving the doors and windows open in cold or hot weather, ventilating with proper amounts of fresh air can be very expensive. Many existing buildings lack the ability to heat and cool enough air to improve indoor air quality to acceptable modern standards.
BPE Paradigm:
o where traditional equipment is big, we are small and can go anywhere
o where traditional hvac upgrades can be expensive, we have typical 1 year payback.
o where other energy recovery systems need additional heating and cooling, we are stand alone
o where other systems are difficult to install, we go anywhere
o where other systems need complicated controls, we just need to be turned on
o where other systems have an EER (energy efficiency rating) of 10, we have a cooling EER of over 30 and heating EER of over 60
Why Use Air to Air Energy Recovery?
Why Bother with mechanical ventilation for Homes and Commercial Buildings?
National codes and building standard require a prescribed amount of fresh outdoor air. More fresh outdoor air generally means less indoor air pollution (IAP) and better Indoor Air Quality (IAQ).
Indoor air pollution (IAP) is ranked by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) among the top five environmental risks to human health. The World Health Organization estimates that nearly one in every six commercial buildings in the United States suffers from sick-building syndrome and that occupants of another one in twelve suffer from building-related illnesses. Indoor air quality (IAQ) problems cost American business $10 billion per year through lowered productivity, absenteeism, and medical costs.
The World Health Organization reports that one billion people are regularly exposed to dangerous levels of indoor air pollution, whether at home, at work or when traveling by mass transit.
EPA - Sources of Indoor Air Pollution - Organic Gases (Volatile Organic Compounds - VOCs)
Volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) are emitted as gases from certain solids or liquids. VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors (up to ten times higher) than outdoors. VOCs are emitted by a wide array of products numbering in the thousands. Examples include: paints and lacquers, paint strippers, cleaning supplies, pesticides, building materials and furnishings, office equipment such as copiers and printers, correction fluids and carbonless copy paper, graphics and craft materials including glues and adhesives, permanent markers, and photographic solutions.
Organic chemicals are widely used as ingredients in household products. Paints, varnishes, and wax all contain organic solvents, as do many cleaning, disinfecting, cosmetic, degreasing, and hobby products. Fuels are made up of organic chemicals. All of these products can release organic compounds while you are using them, and, to some degree, when they are stored.
EPA's Total Exposure Assessment Methodology (TEAM) studies found levels of about a dozen common organic pollutants to be 2 to 5 times higher inside homes than outside, regardless of whether the homes were located in rural or highly industrial areas. Additional TEAM studies indicate that while people are using products containing organic chemicals, they can expose themselves and others to very high pollutant levels, and elevated concentrations can persist in the air long after the activity is completed.
Building Performance Equipment, Inc.TM is a manufacturing company dedicated to meeting heat recovery needs for air or other gases. We provide turn-key heat recovery systems that can work with your Facility Management System, or as a stand alone product.
Our standard units will suit most commercial applications, and we can custom engineer systems up to 75,000 cfm for use in industrial or chemical plant applications. At more than 87% efficient, we are the leader in cooling and heat recovery.
