Benefits for Customers
Our HVI-Certified solutions undergo stringent checks, including:
Annual verification process that ensures compliance
Random marketplace procurement of products for testing
Performance tests of real products conducted in an accredited, third-party laboratory
Separating facts from fiction
Being certified does not ensure quality performance
It proves that the manufacturer’s performance data are according to industry standards. It does not necessarily mean that a unit automatically complies with minimum performance regulations.
A certification body does not tell companies how to manufacture products unless explicitly specified
The aim is to validate performance claims from manufacturers against the allowed deviations set within these certification schemes.
Performance certification schemes by different certification bodies are not at par with each other
It is crucial to recognise the true implications of each certification program and the differentiators between the certification programs in the market.
At Systemair, we have been active in all major North American HVACR associations for decades. We like to challenge the status quo, pushing for higher energy efficiency and indoor air quality standards. Together with our industry partners at the HVI association, we have managed to raise the bar in terms of residential ventilation in North America.
