What RenewAire does
Founded in 1978 in Waunakee, Wisconsin, RenewAire is a privately held manufacturer of energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) and dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS). The company's core technology is its proprietary fifth-generation (G5) static-plate cellulosic enthalpy core, which transfers both sensible heat and latent humidity between airstreams without cross-contamination and is certified under AHRI 1060 and UL 1812. Product lines span residential and commercial CFM ranges of 30 to 70,400, sold as finished equipment across multiple named series (Aeri, EV, EV Premium, HE, LE, DN, CA, PA, SA, SL, BR, Evergreen), supported by replacement cores, parts, and accessories.
RenewAire operates as a B2B manufacturer with an exclusive channel-partner go-to-market model, distributing exclusively through HVAC wholesalers, distributors, and a network of manufacturer's representatives. Sales and marketing leverage an education-based selling approach via a Ventilation Workshop / PDH training program, a mobile Ventilation Solution Vehicle (VSV), and a web-based CORES quote-to-cash configurator, supported by BACnet/Carel building-management integrations. End customers span commercial buildings, healthcare, education, hospitality, residential, government, industrial, and animal-care segments, with named deployments including Hilton Garden Inn, Naples Community Hospital, St. Croix Casino, Brentwood Senior Living, Avon School, Wasilla Police Station, and Prairie du Sac Town Hall.
The company joined Spain-based Soler & Palau Ventilation Group — the world's leading fan manufacturer — as a wholly-owned subsidiary in 2010, operating from a LEED Gold-certified 111,000-sqft headquarters powered by 100% wind energy and a second manufacturing facility opened in Dane, WI in 2024. No public or institutional funding rounds are disclosed, revenue is not publicly reported, and the company has no disclosed AI/ML capabilities, with product differentiation rooted in mechanical engineering and certifications.

RenewAire competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Aldes: French manufacturer of ventilation products including single-flow and dual-flow heat recovery units. Direct comparable in static-plate heat exchanger technology serving European and North American markets.
- Greenheck: U.S. manufacturer of commercial ventilation equipment including energy recovery ventilators, fans, and dampers. Competes in the same commercial CFM range (up to 70,000+) and serves similar mechanical contractor/specifier channels.
- Zehnder Group: Swiss-listed manufacturer of energy recovery ventilation and heat recovery ventilation units for residential and commercial buildings. Directly comparable to RenewAire in static-plate enthalpy core technology and channel-based distribution.
- Broan-NuTone: North American ventilation products manufacturer offering HRV/ERV units and bath fans through wholesalers and distributors. Competes head-to-head with RenewAire's residential and light-commercial lines.
- Fantech: Manufacturer of inline fans, energy recovery ventilators, and HRVs serving residential and commercial HVAC markets. Comparable in product range, technology, and channel go-to-market.
Broad incumbents
- Trane Technologies: Global HVAC incumbent offering commercial DOAS units and energy recovery options across its large commercial dealer network. A primary bundling competitor for mid- and large-commercial ERV/DOAS specifications.
- Carrier: Largest global HVAC manufacturer with DOAS, energy recovery, and indoor air quality product lines. Competes for commercial specifications where ERV/HRV modules are part of broader HVAC system design.
- Panasonic Eco Solutions: Broad HVAC/IAQ player with a growing line of ERVs/HRVs and supply/extract fans. Larger player expanding into the same indoor air quality space as RenewAire, with broader product and geographic portfolio.
- Mitsubishi Electric: Global HVAC leader with Lossnay energy recovery ventilators that integrate with VRF systems — directly comparable to RenewAire's HE+DX Coil integrated DOAS/VRF solution and a frequent specifier partner.
Others
- Soler & Palau (S&P) Coil Products: Sister company under Soler & Palau Ventilation Group, sharing R&D and product synergies with RenewAire. Provides strategic context for parent-group leverage but does not directly compete in North American ERVs.
