Cleaner Air for Campuses

Reduce Capital and Operating Costs on Your HVAC Replacement

Most ventilation systems are oversized by 25% to 40% due to duct leakage. This not only increases capital costs but also leads to higher operational expenses. For example, what is total cost of ownership difference between a 40,000 CFM system and a 30,000 CFM system?

As you prepare for your next HVAC unit replacement, we want you to consider a crucial question: “Are we oversizing again?” AND “what is the total cost of ownership?”

At NERVA Energy, we specialize in helping educational facilities like yours tackle this issue head-on. By utilizing our Aeroseal duct sealing process (VERSO), you can significantly reduce air leakage, allowing you to right-size your AHUs effectively.

Here’s what our our Aeroseal, Ventilation Sealing & Optimization Program can do for you:

  • Recapture the cost of ventilation replacement

  • Reduce annual energy costs 15-25%

  • Reduce annual GHG 20- 30%

  • Rehabilitate your ventilation duct work

  • Acquire IESO and Enbridge Incentives

  • Purchase through OECM

Hundreds of schools, colleges, and universities across Ontario have already partnered with us to seal and optimize their ventilation systems before making equipment replacements.

We offer free ventilation desktop modeling to help you identify potential savings and ensure you make informed decisions. If you have rooftop units or AHUs slated for replacement, let’s connect first. You might be surprised by how much you can save!

Let us be a part of your design team and ensure your next HVAC investment is both cost-effective and efficient.

Why Ventilation System Replacement is Costing you MORE.

Ventilation Repair, Seal
& Optimization

Ventilation represents 50-65% of your total energy spent to heat and cool facilities. The unknown fact is that all buildings, new or old, lose 20-35% of their ventilation thorough leaks in the ductwork infrastructure.

THIS TRANSLATES INTO

  • Higher energy cost

  • Increased greenhouse gas emissions

  • Indoor air comfort challenges and compromised indoor air quality

THE SOLUTION

VeRSO, (Ventilation, Repair, Seal, and Optimization), employs Aeroseal Duct Sealing, a proven and measurable approach.

  • Implemented in over 10,000 projects across North America

  • Currently working with several Ontario colleges and universities to reduce energy by 12 - 15% and carbon by 30% on average

  • Nerva Energy facilitates this comprehensive process through a turn-key 5-step approach led by a qualified team of engineers and HVAC technicians

  • The process includes pre and post-audits, duct repairs, and sealing to recommission ventilation systems, ensuring optimal efficiency

  • A detailed performance report outlines the results

  • TCI oversees the entire sales process, requiring minimal time and attention from clients

  • VeRSO efficiently enhances airflow, identifies energy savings, and offers greenhouse gas reduction opportunities in overventilated buildings.

OUTCOMES

  1. Reduce energy cost by 12-15% of total energy budget

  2. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20-30%

  3. Extend the lifespan of your equipment
