Panasonic launched 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.

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° F, the new models achieve an impressive 90% sensible recovery efficiency (SRE) rating and reduced cfm loss at static pressure. With compliance in mind, each unit meets the latest building standards, including 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.

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. Features include:

  • Flexible Performance Options: Choose from four models with cfm ratings of 110, 120, 140, and 150 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%, 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 an 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; and ​​
  • Energy-Smart Homes: Boost building value with high SRE ratings, recovering significant conditioned air to lower HVAC usage and deliver long-term energy savings.
