Residential Energy Recovery Ventilation
EXINDA Breeze ERVs provide balanced residential ventilation for houses, apartments and multifamily projects. Five models, each with its own HVI listing, from 95 to 170 CFM certified net supply at 0.4 in. w.g. Compare them here, then confirm airflow, pressure, installation and the model submittal before specification.
Residential ERVs
The ducts leave the side of the cabinet, so the unit fits a bulkhead, a joist cavity or a ceiling space with a slab directly overhead and no clearance above it. Compare the three models at the airflow the project will actually run at.
Standard settings: 42 / 90 / 130 CFM
HVI certified: 170 CFM at 0.4 in. w.g. · 86% SRE at 42 CFM · HVI ID 2005500
Side ports · 6 in. ducts · field-adjustable airflow, automatic balancing
120 V / 60 Hz / 1 Ph
Standard settings: 49 / 85 / 120 CFM

Residential ERVs
The ducts leave the top of the cabinet, for a mechanical closet, utility room or wall position with headroom above the unit. Confirm service-door clearance and the airflow at design external static pressure from the model submittal.

Selection guidance
Where the range fits, where it does not, and the three checks that prevent the most common mismatch between a catalogue airflow value and the actual installation.
Balanced ventilation for houses, townhomes, apartments and multifamily suites, one unit per dwelling. Five sizes, 95 to 170 CFM certified net supply at 0.4 in. w.g.; pick by the airflow at your design static pressure, not by floor area.
An ERV supplies outdoor air and recovers energy from the exhaust; it does not heat or cool the building. Do not connect it to a range hood, a clothes dryer or any process exhaust.
Select from the published supply and exhaust airflow at the project’s external static pressure, not from a free-air value alone.
Confirm duct orientation, ceiling or wall location, filter access, core removal space and condensate requirements before choosing a cabinet.
Review controller, boost-timer, interlock and communication requirements against the exact model submittal.
Technical support
Technical files remain model-specific so data from one ERV is not applied to the whole range.

Questions & answers
Start with the required continuous and boost airflow, then check the model’s airflow at the expected external static pressure. Installation orientation, service clearance, frost-control requirements and controls should be confirmed before final selection.
No. The range includes different cabinet and duct-connection arrangements. Use the selected model’s drawing and submittal to coordinate duct routing and service access.
Open the applicable model page for its current technical submittal and Revit download when available. Confirm that the drawing and submittal show the same model before project coordination.
Send the project location and building type, required airflow in CFM, design external static pressure in in. w.g., and where you intend to mount the unit. Duct sizes, controls and quantity can follow if you have them.
EXINDA will return a model recommendation with the airflow at your operating point, the submittal, the dimensional drawing, a copy of CSA certificate 80227354, and lead time. The HVI listing for the recommended model can be looked up by its HVI ID, which is shown on every model page.
All five Breeze models are certified to UL 1812 for safety and CSA C439 for performance under CSA certificate 80227354, and each one holds its own HVI listing: ICMBCNF1AYE 2005353, ICMBCOFF1AYE 2005359, ICMBCOFF1AYS 2005500, IWMBCOOF1AYE 2005360 and IWMBCOFF1AYE 2005356. Quote the model number with its HVI ID; the ratings in an HVI listing belong to that model record only.
