Sorbent ventilation technology licensed to Daikin

USA: Daikin Applied Americas has acquired an exclusive licence to manufacture, sell, and distribute the SVT sorbent ventilation air cleaning technology from Texas-based EnVerid Systems. 

The licence, covering North America, builds on the initial integration of SVT into select Daikin Applied products in 2021. 

The SVT technology removes indoor air pollutants, enables air to be recycled and reduces the amount of outside air ventilated into the building.

It can capture a wide range of VOCs, ozone and CO2 from indoor air using a highly-engineered, proprietary sorbent media blend housed inside a module that integrates with all types of commercial HVAC systems. 

SVT can also be used in combination with other building strategies, such as energy recovery and demand control ventilation, to further reduce load and improve performance. Currently, SVT is the only technology independently tested and validated to meet all contaminant requirements in ASHRAE Standard 62.1.

“With the addition of this patented technology to our portfolio, we’re eliminating the long-standing trade-off between energy performance and air quality,” said Daikin Applied COO Yu Nishiwak. “It’s an advancement that supports both decarbonisation and occupant well-being, while making it easier for engineers and building owners to meet IAQ standards with confidence.”

In the coming months, Daikin Applied will reintroduce the offering within the North American market as part of its expanded portfolio. The service model for SVT will remain unchanged during the transition. 

Daikin Applied will also continue to support standalone SVT applications in the near term while working towards integrating the technology into its broader product portfolio.
