BPE Energy Recovery Ventilators

---

Hillsdale, New Jersey – Award-winning independent news source Sustainable Industries announced Building Performance Equipment’s (BPE) Energy Recovery Ventilators as one of its 2010 Top 10 Green Building Products award winners. Sustainable Industries’ Top 10 Green Building Products guide is an annual publication profiling industry-leading green building products selected by a panel of expert judges and Sustainable Industries’ editorial team.

BPE’s Energy Recovery Ventilators were selected from more than 100 entries based on excellence in environmental performance, scalability/market impact, innovativeness, design aesthetic, value and compatibility with the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system.

The winners were announced today in a Sustainable Industries Webinar featuring Associate Editor Charles Redell and members of the judges’ panel who addressed attendees' questions about the pros and cons of the latest green building innovations. The 2010 Top 10 Green Building Products winners are highlighted in the July issue of Sustainable Industries, as well as in a digital supplement with 3D images designed by Portland’s Fat Pencil Studio. The guide is available for free at www.sustainableindustries.com/resources.

“In the five years Sustainable Industries has produced this trusted and popular independent guide, the industry has seen unprecedented growth,” says Brian Back, Founding Editor & Publisher of Sustainable Industries. “We’re confident the Top 10 Green Building Products guide provides a unique overview of some of the most innovative building materials representing the biggest trends on the market today.”

Many BPE high efficiency energy recovery module owners state, “ The energy savings and comfort impact are amazing! The performance is almost too good to be true!”


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 than running a 40 watt light bulb for 110 Cubic Feet per Minute of Fresh Air

Since BPE was founded, it has made a significant impact on the environment. By making commercial buildings more efficient through energy recovery, we have removed approximately 40,369.77 cars off the road through pollution reductions! Per year of operation, we have saved a total of approximately 1,126,842,665,681.80 BTUs of electricity and gas combined. In 2008 alone, the savings translated to over 22 million dollars!

We have also respectively reduced:
These numbers are based on a total ERV CFM of 2,940,000 CFM/Years, an operating efficiency of 84%, an existing A/C efficiency of 1.4 kWh/Ton, and a heating efficiency of 81%.

Building Performance Equipment Fixed Plate Air to Air Energy Recovery Ventilators have a patented Regenerative Condensate Return™ that removes condensation from the pre-cooled fresh summer air and transfers this moisture to the exhaust air stream.

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.
