Energy Recovery Ventilation Equipment Listed on Database

A new directory has been added to PrimeNet, the Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute’s (ARI) free online product performance database. Contractors, engineers, consumers, researchers, equipment specifiers, manufacturers and others can now tap into certified data, updated daily, from ARI’s Air-to-Air Energy Recovery Ventilation Directory. For more information visit www.ariprimenet.org.

“ ARI’s Air-to-Air Energy Recovery Ventilation Directory has up till now been available only as a downloadable Adobe Acrobat™ file,” said Matthew Friedlander, chairman of ARI’s Energy Recovery Ventilation Product Section. “In that form it was difficult to keep the directory up to date. Our section turned to PrimeNet because it allows component ratings to be updated immediately, making PrimeNet the best source to find information about ARI-certified energy recovery ventilation equipment.”

PrimeNet users search – for free – the performance ratings for all ARI-certified equipment. PrimeNet provides accurate real-time information that is more economical than printing paper directories and it allows users to define search parameters and quickly access information.

According to Mark Menzer, ARI’s vice president of Engineering and Research, PrimeNet provides valuable confirmation of a manufacturer’s performance claims. “The certified ratings provide the assurance that the product will perform as indicated in the directory,” said Menzer. “ARI goes through an extensive process of verifying a manufacturer’s performance claims. That’s one of the reasons the ARI certification emblem on a product is a mark of confidence in product performance.”
